SUMMARY:
- TV dinners first stepped
onto the scene in the 1950s when Swanson was looking for a way to sell their
Thanksgiving food leftovers. They came up with the idea of serving ready-made
food frozen on a convenient tray.
- If you ever ate dinner at
your grandma’s house as a kid, you probably tasted the stuff once or twice.
Gelatin was first used in dishes back in medieval Europe and was partly made
from the collagen in animal bones.
- Back in 1968, many kids
could be seen sipping on a cold bottle of SunnyD as a part of a well-balanced
breakfast — and it was anything but. SunnyD tasted super sweet because it was
primarily made of corn syrup and contained less than 5% juice.
- One Hi-C Wild Cherry
juice box contained a whopping 27 g of sugar, which is more than the American
Heart Association recommends grown women ingest in a day — and these were
intended for kids!
- Back in the late ’80s and
‘90s, Bubble Tape was a fan fave! But ever, since sugar-free gum became more
popular and oral health, became more of a priority, this sugary sweet gum just
wasn’t as desirable anymore.
- Ambrosia salad was
usually found at family gatherings back when you or your parents were younger.
This sweet salad actually came onto the scene back in the 1800s and usually
featured special sweet treats that only appeared on special occasions.
- Once people realized how
bad trans fats were for them during the ‘90s, Crisco stopped being used as
often.
- It wasn’t until the 1950s
that cottage cheese became incredibly popular. It’s very mild in flavor and
isn’t super high in fat, which was appealing to people from the ‘50s into the
‘70s.
now
if you were to open up your fridge
or pantry right now what
are the chances
you'd find some bottles of
Sunny D in
there how about a fresh
batch of
congealed salad why are
these foods so
unpopular when just twenty
to forty
years ago they were flying
off the
grocery store shelves well
let's take a
walk down memory lane and
learn why
these once beloved foods
disappeared
from our kitchen tables
forever Bon
Appetit
counting down from number
eight TV
dinners look after a long
day of work
the idea of slaving in the
kitchen
whipping up dinner sounds
awful
that's when frozen food
comes to the
rescue
well today it's not
uncommon to store
veggies or pre-made pizzas
in the
freezer you'd be
hard-pressed to find
classic TV dinners in their
TV dinners
first stepped onto the
scene in the
1950s when Swanson was
looking for a way
to sell their Thanksgiving
food
leftovers they came up with
the idea of
serving ready-made food
frozen on a
convenient tray these TV
dinners became
quite popular and were a
quick and easy
way to serve dinner to the
family
according to the Atlantic
Swanson sold
around 25 million frozen
meals in 1953
which was when they first
started to
become popular and it
changed the dinner
game forever over the next
five decades
different food companies
began selling
their own versions of TV
dinners like
hungry mad and Lean Cuisine
remember
those well some of these
frozen dinners
still sit in popular
supermarket
freezers today they're not
anywhere near
as popular as they once
were that's
because in the last 10
years or so an
emphasis on the benefits of
fresh food
has swept the nation and
more and more
people are opting to be
health-conscious
sure they may not have been
that good
for you but boy were they
fun to eat in
front of the TV 7 congealed
salads have
a weak stomach then you
definitely don't
want a googol congealed
salad recipes
congeal salads are made
with gelatin
you've had jello before
if you ever ate dinner at
your grandma's
house as a kid you probably
tasted the
stuff once or twice gelatin
was first
used in dishes back in
medieval Europe
and was partly made from
the collagen in
animal bones
it sounds appetizing
doesn't it gelatin
became really popular
during the 1950s
when the processed food
industry was
thriving this new instant
gelatin was
incredibly convenient since
it was a
great way to use leftovers
you could
literally turn any food
into a congealed
salad from fruit and yogurt
to meat and
vegetable mixes yeah I'm
talking tomato
turkey and lettuce in a
jello mall it's
really no surprise that
these gelatinous
concoctions went out of
style but around
the 1980s eating fresh
healthy food was
becoming more popular sugar
fill
congealed salad were no
longer as
desirable
jell-o and other gelatin
products
started being marketed more
as a snack
or dessert and were
considered a sweet
food exclusively however
there are still
parts of the u.s. that hold
congealed
salads dear even today
according to
Serious Eats dot-com many
communities in
Utah still feature jell-o
dishes at many
of their family events and
not all of
them are sweet
in 2001 Utah even named
jell-o as its
official state snack number
six Sunny D
it seems like orange juice
has always
been a staple breakfast
beverage and
there have been many
different takes on
it over the years back in
1968 many kids
could be seen sipping on a
cold bottle
of Sunny D also known as
Sunny Delight
as part of a well-balanced
breakfast and
it was anything but Sunny D
tasted
super-sweet because it was
primarily
made of corn syrup and
contain less than
5% juice this highly
processed drink was
incredibly unhealthy yet
lots of people
loved the stuff in fact in
1998 the
drink became so popular in
the UK that
it came in as the third
most popular
drink behind Coke and Pepsi
but the
juice started to get a bad
rap from
organizations like the food
Commission
who called the drink a con
due to its
lack of nutritionists value
something
their advertising campaigns
didn't quite
convey this stuff was way
worse for you
than regular orange juice
in 1999 a
young girl in Wales started
to turn a
yellow hue after drinking
way too much
Sunny D this was due to an
overdose on
the beta carotene the juice
contain
needless to say this sweet
orange juices
days in the Sun were over
after so much
bad press Sunny D lost his
popularity
well it's still sold in
some stores in
the UK in America it has a
pretty awful
reputation number five
hi-c remember finding one
of these bad
boys in your lunch box back
in grade
school chances are you
haven't seen a
hi-c juice box in quite
some time since
2001 to be exact that was
the year this
drink was discontinued
according to
match.com while it appeared
on the scene
for a moment as a
promotional drink for
the Ghostbuster reboot and
in the
McDonald's soda fountains
until 2017
it'll be tough to find it
in stores
nowadays this drink was
mostly taken off
grocery store shelves
due to its high sugar
content 1 hi-c
wild cherry juice box
contained a
whopping 27 grams of sugar
which is more
than the American Heart
Association
recommends grown women
ingest in a day
and these were intended for
kids
yow additionally the juice
boxes
themselves were anything
but
eco-friendly since one of
them could
take 300 years or more to
disintegrate
it seems that just like
many other kids
sugary drinks of the 20th
century I see
just couldn't keep up with
the times
number 4 bubble tape no
matter what
decade it is kids love
bubble gum and
back in the late 80s and
90s bubble tape
was a fan fave this form of
hubba bubba
bubble gum was super fun to
eat since it
would roll out of its
dispenser just
like tape so what the heck
happened to
the stuff well ever since
sugar-free gum
became more popular and
oral health
became more of a priority
this sugary
sweet gum just wasn't as
desirable
anymore but don't worry if
you want to
take a trip down memory
lane you can
still find bubble tape at
various candy
stores but don't blame me
when you need
to make an emergency trip
to the dentist
number 3 Ambrosius salad
what foods come
to mind when you think
about backyard
barbecues hot dogs potato
salad corn
on the cob and broach the
salad wait
what was that last one and
Brosius salad
was usually found at family
gatherings
back when you or your
parents were
younger while families tend
to have
their own unique recipes
for the dish
they typically included
some form of
whipped cream cream cheese
jello and
bits of fruits like oranges
cherries and
pineapples this sweet salad
actually
came onto the scene back in
the 1800s
and usually featured
special sweet
treats that only appeared
on special
occasions like Christmas
over time ambrosia salad
became popular
in different parts of
America most
notably in the south while
you can still
find some families
including ambrosia
salads into their Easter
Christmas or
summer barbecue spread its
popularity
has dwindled significantly
probably
because it isn't the
healthiest between
the jello whipped cream and
processed
fruits this thing is
practically a big
bowl of sugar number 2
Crisco back when
you were a kid your
mother's kitchen
your neighbor's kitchen and
certainly
most restaurant kitchens
contained
Crisco a solid form of
hydrogenated
vegetable oil in simpler
terms it was a
big old tub of trans fat
well this
sounds pretty disgusting
and it is it
made its way into a lot of
the foods you
love to eat this lard
alternative could
be found in baked goods as
well as salty
fried foods it was
originally marketed
to be a healthier
alternative to lard
however once people
realized how bad
trans fats were for them
during the 90s
Chris go stop being used as
often it
hasn't been completely
taken off grocery
store shelves but with so
many other
cooking ingredient
alternatives people
tend to steer clear of the
fattening
stuff so unless you want to
clog up
those arteries there's
really no reason
for Crisco to come back
into style
number one cottage cheese
well you can still find
cottage cheese
at your local supermarket
it's not as
highly regarded as it once
was cut
achieves has been around
for a long time
many people believe that
cheese got its
name thanks to the fact
that it would
often be prepared in small
countryside
cottages back in the day
but it wasn't
until the 1950s that
cottage cheese
became incredibly popular
it's very mild
in flavor and isn't super
high in fat
which was appealing to
people from the
50s into the 70s today
though many
people seem to be favoring
more
flavorful and less lumpy
dairy products
like yogurt since you can
find almost
any flavored yogurt Under
the Sun at
your local grocery store
it's hard to want a bowl of
bland
cottage cheese with a
unique texture now
if you could bring back one
of these
foods which one would you
choose and why
