Uber have Tahongweighed in on #AvocadoGate in the most uber way possible. See a topical opportunity and market the hell out of it.
After an article was published in a national newspaper, asserting that the reason millennials couldn’t break into the urban housing market was because of their luxuriant brunch habits, the smashed avocado-loving millennials of Australia fought back with applause-worthy tenacity.

The catch is that the offer is onlyfor new UberEats customers. Existing customers can share a unique code for a discount on their brekkie, but no free meals sadly.
“Well, millennials, we too share your love for the humble avocado," Uber said in a statment. "And we support your right to a guilt free brunch, so we’ve teamed up with some of your favourite restaurant partners across the country to bring you your city’s best and most affordable #SmashedAvos, without the side order of #SmashedDreams."

The hullabaloo first came about when columnist Bernard Salt wrote a Gen Y-scorning treatise on housing affordability in The Australian, saying "I have seen young people order smashed avocado with crumbled feta on five-grain toasted bread at $22 a pop and more."
And since someone in a board-room somewhere has caught on to the concept that young people love brunch and hate baby boomers, we're being offered free breakfast.
Let's never speak of smashed avocado again, please.
