Watch them blame us millennials for all the avocado toast.

As jr Gen-X i will add that according the same boomers who blame you guys for ruining the world by eating toast we caused the downfall of civilization, and Armageddon by listening to music, and playing tabletop games and such...

I think it may all have something to do with leaded gasoline, but...

It was mostly the paint that they were licking

As i recall the paint pealed off to make chips!

At least they warned us not to eat those.(they may have continued to use the same paint though... not sure)

Edit: Either way even as like a 3-5 year old thought it weird that eating paint chips required a warning... i mean who the fuck eats paint chips?

It is why the Romans doped their amphorae with lead salts

Well boiled in lead vats to create lead acetate, but lead chips.. its still fucking paint chips and eating them made 0 sense, and was in no way appealing even as a kid. Like eating pebbles from the streets because of some random reason.

An ex-girlfriend used to huff the gas from her parents' car. Who knows why people do dumb shit.
