I notice that the napkin entry implicitly assumes disposable napkins. Given that it's often said that millennials value authenticity, I wonder if part of that decline can be attributed to cloth napkins, and the cited Washington Post article at least touches on that but doesn't seem to have any data. The beer entry similarly seems to disregard the explosion of popularity in microbrews. Of course, like most such articles, this is really less about millennials' preferences than it is about our economic situation. For whatever reason, a lot of people seem to think that inflation ended in the 1970s and that we aren't all running out and buying houses because we lack an "ownership culture" or whatever.
