The Taste of Home website has compiled a list of foods released in the year you were born. I hate checking. Because I'm at an age where the answer seems to be “grain farming.”
But I'm as indifferent to that answer as I am to a birthday card detailing everything that happened in the year you were born. None of this is familiar. Oh, and Elvis stubbed his toe in Las Vegas when I was 3 hours old? Remember that! It was a very formative event!
No, the memories start later.
I can remember new snack crackers as early as I was 10 years old. Today, he sees more than 35,000 products on the average supermarket shelf and sees new items every time he goes into the store. But back in an earlier era, the announcement of a new snack food was like a new planetary revelation.
For example, the bugle, which was opened to the grateful public in 1966. Invented by Minnesotan Vern E. Weiss of Plymouth and built by General Mills, the bugle was an instant hit. nail. Their bag calls it “America's No. 1 Finger Hat,” so you'll want to know who's in second place. Is this true? Do you have any JD Powers and Associates data on this? Hmm?
Bugles were part of a large snack line launched by General Mills in 1966. The buttons were filled with lots of cheddar cheese. Popcorn flavored bowls. The whistle is also sprinkled with cheddar flavor. The Pizza Spin, which tasted like a lick of the lid of a Chef Boyardee can, and the Burlap Rombois, which tasted like vinegar, were sad and disappointing.
OK, I made the last one. But you can tell they were full of enthusiasm for new ideas. Why wouldn't we? We were going to the moon! Anything was possible! Fire up your IBM mainframe and let your electronic brain come up with new combinations.
All but Trump failed. You can still find them. The recipe has changed, so of course there are bugle purists online complaining that the new bugle is too salty, or claiming it's full of seed oil and microplastics and that the cone is used to transmit 5G signals. There are also Trumpet truthers.
Anyway, looking at the chronological list of foods is a kind of taste astrology that makes you wonder if your birth year was influenced by these innovations. But does it determine your personality? I was born in 1958 under the zodiac sign of Rice-A-Roni, so my personality trait should be “Sing 'San Francisco Snack'!” Every time I hear a bell. ” I would never do that. Half the time, but not every time.
