The 1970s were one of the weirdest decades, polyester, weird music, terrible hair, and foods we are grateful we never had to experience. Here's a look at 23 foods they ate- some will make you thank god you didn't have to clean your plate.
1
Dear 1970s: Somethings do not belong in a can.
2
This is so, so wrong. It's an abomination! It's not even canned, it's like a roll of sausage! What were they thinking?
3
Chicken dinner and candy should not be used in the same sentence much less placed in the same box.
4
Can you imagine pullin up to the table and having this put in front of you? No wonder Gen X is so strange
6
When it's called a food stick with no other clarification, buyer be ware,
7
Miracle whip may still exist but gratefully no one puts spoonfuls of it in their pears now.
8
I've been told these were so bad they actually made people sick, the active ingredient to reduce cravings was benzocaine which is used to numb the pain and is used in cough drops. Later it was changed to phenylpropanolamine which was flagged by the FDA though it's still used to help incontinence in dogs. Yummmmm
9
Meatball stew may not have looked bad but the combination of meatballs, peas, carrots, and a thick gravy left people with a bad taste in their mouths
10
Born in the 60s and 70s, these are still around but difficult to find.
11
Catsup with pineapple and vinegar never caught on. Can't imagine why?
12
The name doesn't sound promising alone. No sugar, no marshmallow bits. yum?
13
These were popular and people raved about the "lite" candy bars that really weren't lite in calories, sugars or fat.
14
Now this is one that looks like we need to bring back. Convenient and portable, almost a mix between a burger/sloppy joe
15
The after taste was brutal as with everything presumably created with the sugar substitute that was so popular in that time.
16
This one's still around in almost the same form.
20
We aren't even sure what this is but we're confident in saying, "no thank you!"
21
Koogle is one we've heard a lot about and would love to have gotten to try it
22
I mean not everything from the '70s was a bad idea. This sounds interesting and delicious.
