A Cracker Barrel restaurant in Connecticut faced criticism when customers mistook ceiling decorations for nooses. The chain quickly apologized, clarifying that the items were decorative cords, not actual nooses.

They admitted the resemblance should have been addressed before displaying them.

The issue gained attention after Twitter user Alfonso Robinson shared images of the controversial decorations.

Cracker Barrel explained that the cords were part of an antique soldering iron exhibit but acknowledged the oversight.

Following discussions with activists, the restaurant removed the decorations and pledged to review their decor practices. Cracker Barrel reaffirmed their dedication to inclusivity and promised to improve their scrutiny to prevent similar issues in the future.
