30 American Traditions Every Boomer Was a Part of Back in the Day

There is something about the food we ate as kids that carries over into adulthood. Even as we look back and realize that a lot of the food we ate wasn’t healthy, there’s a certain level of nostalgia for it. Don’t believe us? Just think about TV dinners! Those microwaveable meals were made of unknown ingredients and had questionable nutritional value. 

Despite it all, we loved them. They still make TV dinners to this day, but it’s not the same. We need the plastic-looking chicken, the powdered mashed potatoes, and the frozen peas and carrots. Now that’s a meal to write home about! We have to admit that the TV dinner in this old ad looks pretty good.
