Taco Bell was “real Mexican food”. They even had a burger.
Chinese spare ribs
Crab Imperial
Pizza Hut used a paper tent for the pizza

My son poured the little candies into my hand....It was a memorable moment for my boys. A 50 year old memory!!

This is when I quit eating Jello.

My Mom ate those (Ayds Candy) back in the 70s. Low calorie snacks.
She also bought a low cal ice cream?, brand name of Metrecal. The color of Metrecal chocolate ice cream was a fluorescent brown. Not very appetizing to us kids.

Good stuff.

Chun King used to make little frozen ‘pillow’ egg rolls like the Pizza Rolls. They were really good, but there’s nothing like them anymore.

[Baladas]

there was this product called “Jello 123” or something - three layers of gelatin of different textures. The top layer was my favorite.

9. Peanut Butter
10. Condensed soup

12. Boxed mac and cheese

I have never stopped buying these three.

I had JIF(choosey mothers choose Jif) Peanut butter for breakfast on a bagel and dinner on a crackers with extra sharp cheese just a couple days ago.

I had Campbell’s vegetable soup last weekend with lunch.

We still buy Mac and Cheese. We now buy Annies not Kraft dinner.
In college(1981-85) we bought generic Mac & Cheese 5 boxes for $1, limit 10 boxes and lived on those.

Remember the popular book “REAL MEN DON’T EAT QUICHE”?

As one man said when caught eating quiche...”Real men eat whatever they damn well please!”

[combat_boots]

That’s it!

I got so I liked it. There was also a fermented fruit thing going around communities. I liked it.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

I remember back in the 1960s when TANG was sold in large decorative glass jars. I still have several I purchased back in 1968!

[Jamestown1630]

LOL! Exactly.

You can do so much with quiche - and ‘real men’ eat deep-dish pizza, don’t they? Not much difference, except eggs.

[Cecily]

Quiche = omelet on pie crust.

[Jamestown1630]

Instant coffee was sometimes in nice jars like that. I still use a couple from my grandma’s house for basil, parsley, etc.

From SNL?

Many of these anteadate the 1970s (2,4,9,10,11 are some I’m sure about)
The first wave of natural and organic did come in the 1970s
