Avocado Proposals: The Millennial Trend That Makes Us Want To Exit Earth

Maybe millennials actually deserve the avocado toast prejudice that's been plaguing them. The Daily Dot and The Cut, among other publications, have been featuring this painfully twee proposal trend that seems to have started on Instagram. Shocker. The sites dug up avocado proposals from as long ago as last year - a sign that end of days is way, way overdue.

Trendiness aside, while we enjoy a good avocado every now and then, it doesn't really seem logical to serve up eternity with your partner in a (likely) browning and mushy fruit. Much of Twitter seems to agree.

Here's some intensely painful footage of an avocado proposal and flash mob, for the masochists.

I'm sorry, but if you're going to propose with an avocado at least pick a good one.
