    What is hilarious about these dimwits is that people in the 1950's ate a fuckload of TV dinners and processed food.

    Cooking consisted mostly of pouring cans of various vegetables and meat into a casserole dish and topping it with velveeta.

      There was also a hilarious "putting shit in jello" phase.

        That is for two reasons: One, only rich people used to be able to afford gelatin dishes as it was a pain in the ass to make fresh; and two, a lot of people had no teeth back then.

          According to this video its popularity can also be attributed to wartime rationing and ease of cooking.

            Making regular gelatin is like a 10 hour process, so that makes sense. It is also almost impossible to get the meat flavor out with the regular method so enjoying beefy lemony gelatin is probably not everyone's cup of tea.

      my grandad admitted to eating potatoes, boiled eggs, and canned beans for 2 decades

      no butter or anything

      he said they could have cooked and done better stuff but it was way cheaper and easier to just do it that way. just boil the eggs, then the potatoes, then boil the beans after poking a hole in the can lmao
