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.

Hey guys, would you try that ambrosia salad? Or do you know any other weird foods from the past? Btw, check out this video on the foods you should NEVER eat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzuOaJ9f8qI&

I work in frozen foods. Frozen dinners are in no way dying out!!! Hi-c is still carried in the juice box aisle. Bubble tape is still found in major grocers. Delis have ambrosia salad as a mainstay in their selections. And cottage cheese?! Still popular? Where is this guy shopping?!
-
SunnyD was like someone tried to make orange juice without oranges 😂😂
-
The only thing here not used anymore is the word “congealed”.
-
Ambrosia salad, is still served and made in the Philippines. We call it Fruit Salad though. It is treated as a dessert, made from heavy cream, condensed milk, Canned Fruit Cocktail, Canned Pineapples, freah fruit, and soft coconut meat(usually fresh ones).
-
Why is no one talking about the weird scary starting of the video??
-
Cottage cheese still healthy and good to buy. Full of Protein as well. I still buy it.
-
Hi-C is literally in every grocery store and has never left.
-
Cottage cheese is still a favorite place in our house. You can add any fresh fruit. You can bake it in Italian dishes. Add tomato and you have a salad. People are missing out.
-
Cottage cheese is actually high in protein and low in carbs (sugars). Many yogurts are high in sugar making them less healthy.
-
Half of these foods do not need to come back because the never left.
-
Would just like to say, that in referencing medieval times for ‘ congealed’ salads, you should have made it clear that the jello used was/is aspic, it’s a meat jelly made by reducing beef stock enough so it sets in the fridge like a jelly but is very savoury
-
Crisco started out as an alternative to lard used as shortening in cooking. Originally, Crisco was made from cottonseed oil. Maybe it still is, I'm not sure, but it was full of transfats. When this became an issue, Crisco changed its chemical makeup to eliminate the transfats. Many people still use Crisco in pastry crusts, cookies, and fry food in it as well.
-
Again I work in a grocery store and we sell almost everything on this list.
-
May be not “classic” TV dinners, but I guess this program writers hasn’t walked down the freezer isle!
-
Here in the MIdwest, Ambrosia salad is still as popular at family gatherings as its always been.
-
I have most of these items in my fridge at least several times a month. Love cottage cheese, always have small bottles of Sunny D in my fridge, and make jello a lot. One of the strangest, but tastiest salads my mom used to make was lemon jello with tiny shrimp, celery, and shredded carrot. She would serve on a bed of lettuce with a small dollop of Mayo on top. Tasted better than you would think! The jello was less sweet back then, too.
-
There is a healthier way to make ambrosia salads, using fresh cut up fruits, and fresh homemade whipped cream, and walnuts.
-
This is pretty inaccurate, guys. I don't know where you're from but must be located under a rock. None of this stuff is gone.
-
Cottage cheese is amazing. Add a dollop of jam on top, and it's my standard diet dessert. My grandma loved it, so I grew up with it in the house.
