You know the stuff that tasted like crap but we had to have!

Re: Weird food of the 70's
Thu, August 7, 2008 - 7:53 PMI still like Bugles when i can get them, I recall samples being offered at the store in San Jose in the the late '60's.They were a new thing here about 8 years ago ,lasted a few years then disappeared.However,they can be found in many varieties in Tenerife.There you have it, all you never wanted to know about Bugles..
I used to think Stouffers french bread pizzas were the perfect cure for the munchies in the late 70's.They would probably make me feel slightly sick now.
What about that disgusting cheese in an aerosol can thing? Aww, it was cheez whiz, spelled just slightly differently from the stuff in a jar.Just for novelty's sake it seemed like good fun to pipe some onto a ritz cracker- would take a pretty challenging dare to get me to eat just one now.
Were Pringles a 70's innovation? Or what about hamburger helper for that matter?

Re: Weird food of the 70's
Fri, August 8, 2008 - 11:06 AMJust anything by Hostess. We were all (parents included) bought in to the whole "Good Tasting...good for you....Hostess". Frikkin' Wonderbread is still the best for Tuna, grilled cheese, and PBJs but its like concrete in our intestines. It's surprising any of us survived childhood -

Re: Weird food of the 70's
Sat, August 9, 2008 - 8:49 AMEating tuna and white bread a little too fast is painful, when it balls up in your gullet.
I prefer the pain of Cap'n Crunch mouth shreds. -

Re: Weird food of the 70's
Sat, August 9, 2008 - 9:41 AM"balls up in your gullet." ????
And all this time I thought the object of Wonder Bread was to ball it up in your fist and to get it as dense as possible BEFORE eating it. LOL

Re: Weird food of the 70's

Re: Weird food of the 70's
Sat, August 9, 2008 - 2:34 PMNah, I did that too. Butterballs, mmmmmmm. Also, I fried bologna--I loved the way it swelled up in the middle like a happy breast. Fried peanut butter and jelly sandwiches were also surprisingly yum.
But I never did advance to tuna balls.

Mon, August 18, 2008 - 10:14 PMI was wondering if anyone else was going to say Pop Rocks. Man I loved those things. It takes a sick mind to create something that strange. [maybe a sicker one to enjoy them so much! HAHAHAHHA] -

Re: Weird food of the 70's
Tue, August 19, 2008 - 11:26 AMBubbleyum. When Bubbleyum hit Marin Co it became a sensation. So much that the suppliers ran out. I went to Vegas during summers for a few weeks with my Grams and bought two cases of it. At the time I left one kid offered $8 for a pack.
That, and the time I backed my truck up to a wine kiosk at the Marin County Fairgrounds a full week after the fair closed were my introductions to self-employment and sales. -

Re: Weird food of the 70's
Wed, August 20, 2008 - 8:46 AMLast time I visited my hometown, a friend of mine who'd gone to a different high school mentioned driving up into the wooded hills with bottles of TJ Swann. I'd totally forgotten about that stuff.
It's hard to imagine, from this 21st century perspective, that 'wines' with names like Mellow Nights, Easy Days, Stepping Out and Magic Moments could seem both hip and sophisticated. Come to think of it, I seem to recall thinking that it didn't quite go over even back then, and swilled Boone's Farm instead. -

Re: Weird food of the 70's

Re: Weird food of the 70's
Mon, August 25, 2008 - 11:23 AMa rare treat indeed, i rotated between the mexican, fried chicken and salsbury steak.Of course they were junk, but oh the novelty of them! -

Re: Weird food of the 70's
Mon, August 25, 2008 - 11:29 AMAnd you can't forget scorching your tongue on that first pot pie.
Eouch! -

Re: Weird food of the 70's
Mon, August 25, 2008 - 11:36 AMOh yes the agony between picking beef or chicken, & a good burn guaranteed for all!
Going back to tv dinners, was it the fried chicken that came with a triangle of chocolate dessert that would alsways be under done or turned to chewy rubber?! -
-
Re: Weird food of the 70's
Mon, August 25, 2008 - 11:38 AM"chewy rubber"
STOP IT, ur making me hungry -
-
Re: Weird food of the 70's
Mon, August 25, 2008 - 2:27 PMOooh, the pot pie tongue scorch! Even better than that cap'n crunch palate scrape skin strings! Chicken tasted mildly less gooey and chemically than the beef. I loved breaking through the crust.
My parents got us tv dinners on Saturdays, when we had a babysitter. (I was going to say Fridays, but then remembered that we were a Catholic household, and Friday was devoted to Fish Sticks or fried canned salmon patties with crunchy little bones still in it. Bleah Fridays.) The peas in the pot pies were much less icky, but the triangular desserts were always a delicious chemical treat! Oddly enough, I don't ever remember the desserts. It was more like Dessert Substance.
I liked crumpling up the gravy-slopped foil though. Part of the whole novelty factor, besides the tray divisions, was getting to throw away your dinner plate. -

Re: Weird food of the 70's
Mon, August 25, 2008 - 5:59 PMman I loved that cinnamon peanut butter. I just had pop rocks the other night - just as yummy as they used to be. I remember some french fries that they snuck peas and green beans into....
-
Re: Weird food of the 70's
Mon, August 25, 2008 - 6:15 PMnow, to get the most from the cap'n crunch palate scrape, your MUST burn the roof of your mouth the night before on too hot pizza.
....yes, there was too hot pizza back in the 70's
in fact, stoffers made a cheap imitation pizza thing. it was awful. -

Re: Weird food of the 70's
Tue, August 11, 2009 - 4:09 AMbutoni ( i think) toaster pizza- where they proto-hot pockets? freakies cereal. we are the freakies! this is our freakies tree! and funny face, the powdered drink mix, like fake kool aid with faces on the package? did we eat fresh food? i know i did, my mom was a health food person, which leads me to the bottles of red liquid protein in the fridge. that was a starvation diet that alot of people followed and some died from. i think it did you 300 calories a day.
