boy i wish i lived in the heckin' based traditionarino 1950s where i would come home from work and my wife made me a delicious home-cooked meal and...
>>18531505Jello is awesome. fuck you OP, I hope your mother dies in her sleep tonight.
>>18531505No you wish you were born as a real woman
>>18531507Have you been listing to Jack Benny again?
>>18531529have you been smoking cock again?
>>18531505That's not even remotely what I think about retard
>>18531505Jello with fruit is good but the shit with mayo and pigs feet or whatever is gross but then nobody actually made that shit.
>General Foods discontinued Jell-O Salads in the 1970s due to changing consumer preferences.[3]
>>18531595the west has fallen. billions must die.
>>18531595tl;dr the boomers grew up and understandably had no desire to ever eat that stuff again
>>18531605further proof that boomers destroyed this once great country. if elected president in 2028 I promise to bring Jello back to the American people.
>>18531505The American diet was really ruined by the Depression and WW2.
>>18531505>jello is..... LE BAD
>>18531622>The American diet was really ruined by the Depression and WW2Hunger, food rationing and GIs eating field rations made people grateful for 1950s slop and the illusions of abundance. Packaged foods had been around for a while but new methods of preservation and preparation made trad foodways obsolete.
>>18531505Reminder that shit like this literally made Soviets question their own ideology multiple times (The 1959 Kitchen Debate and the infamous Khrushchev Grocery Store incident)
>>18531982given what they had to eat (if they even had anything to eat at all) it was nirvana
>>18531982And before someone tries to correct me and say it was Yeltsin, no, I mean when Khrushchev visited a grocery store in San Fransisco in 1959. This shit happened multiple times,
>>18531577this ad was fake despite Rooney having a fetish for squandering his money on wacky investment schemes that usually didn't work
IS THAT.. FRUIT? IN JELLO?IS THAT A DRESSING USING MAYO AS A BASE JUST LIKE 1000 ISLAND,CAESAR AND RANCH WHICH WE EAT ALL THE TIMEMY MIND LITERALLY CANNOT COMPREHEND THIS, IT'S SO WHOLESOME AND.. WHITE...*hits head with palms repeatedly*AAH IM GOING INSANE
>Although Mickey Rooney was one of Hollywood's highest-paid actors at one time, he was in perpetual debt and near bankruptcy much of his life due to being attracted to unsound business ventures of various kinds, some good ideas that came out at the wrong time, others just plain bad. Eight different wives and as many children doubtless contributed to his money woes. Rooney never retired and continued to actively work past his 90th birthday, apparently still spending money like a drunken sailor to the very end--his final film appearance was in "Night At The Museum: Secret of the Tomb." Rooney received a paycheck for $215,000 on March 14, 2014 for his role in the movie. When he died in his sleep a few weeks later at age 93, his bank account contained just $28,000.[9]
>>18531989Dude, he probably saw Jello as an Eldritch abomination, since he was only used to seeing kholodets made by slowly cooking pig bones in a pot, rather than in powdered form.
>>18531978the fact that Spam became a delicacy speaks volumes
>>18531577>but then nobody actually made that shitWe still eat that shit here in slavland lol.
the rate of heart attacks in the US exploded in the postwar years. just saying is all.
>>18531505A 1950s diet in my country is a lot of rationing, no variety, lots of salt and tinned foods. No thanks.
>>18531505My parents always said that food has gotten a lot better even since the 1980s. They never had jello salads but apparently canned and boiled vegetables were more common and food was way less international. In the 1960s French and Italian food was considered exotic. Yogurt was a little bit unusual too.
>>18531622It wasn't awful but yeah it was kinda bland and uninteresting by our standards.
the 50s actually saw a lot of foods especially tropical fruits become widely available due to refrigerated shipping. most people had never seen citrus fruits or a banana in earlier times.
>>18531505/pol/faggots who want to go back to the 50s so bad should also be banished to eating the food from that eraEnjoy your bananas with ham slices and hollandaise, and pears with mayonnaise you dumbasses.
If only they could bring back things that actually were good about the 50s like higher taxes for corporations and the wealthy and maybe bring us back to a pre-Reaganomics, pre-Citizens United, Fairness Doctrine in Broadcasting still being a thing, etc.
>>18533329What about being able to beat your wife and kids with no consequences since DV isn't recognizes as a thing yet and your gay son being given mandatory electroshock therapy?
>>18533334Ditto cars having nonexistent safety features.
>>18533334seems pretty chill to me, people still had communities and trad values and there were no ethnic minorities
>In October, 1934, General Foods agreed to take up sponsorship from the struggling tire-maker, using the radio show to promote its low-selling Jell-O desserts.Kinda funny how influential radio was back then.
>>18533341>there were no ethnic minoritiesThis was the 1950s not the 1850s. Ellis Island had already happened and it was too late to stop it.
>>18533341>and there were no ethnic minoritiesBlacks made up 10% of the population in the 1950s, which is only 3% lower than today.
>>18533296Most food was canned in the 1950s because factories were repurposed from wartime production to domestic consumer markets. Packaged meat was rare to find in an actual grocery store and people still relied on deli or butcher shops.t. grandpa used to talk about the good ol days a lot
>>18533334i'd more prefer if we had the economic parts of the 50s back than the social ones
>>18533372only because it brought ashkenazi jews>>18533385if there were any in your sleepy small town, they were on the other side of the tracks by sundown
>>18533425>only because it brought ashkenazi jewsAnd numerous other races not of Northern European Protestant backgrounds or values.
>>18533403>the economic partsYou mean the economy relying on wartime contracts the put millions out of work when it ended?You mean the economy relying on the wartime GI bill to provide veterans with low interest home loans?We can have 50s economy back if you want but it probably won't be what you were expecting.
haha long live the 50s diet. don't forget red meat to keep your blood thick. 75% of doctors in America agree with this paid ad from the Meat Producers' Council.
>>18531577This. OP picked the most normal combo he could.
A lot of shitty 50s food especially gelatin dishes happened because refrigerators became a mass market appliance in middle class homes. There were refrigerators in the 1920s-30s that used liquid ammonia for coolant but they were expensive luxuries for the rich. Once cheap commodity ones arrived everyone had to get onto gelatin dishes.
>>18531505Here's a snack to go with this jelled horror, from a 1950's cook book:Chop maraschino cherries add to cream cheese, spread on potato chips and serve. Disgusting.
the 1952 edition of Joy of Cooking has 23 pages of recipes for gelatin, jello mold, and aspic rings--there are no less than ten recipes per page.
Sunrise Salad (Crushed pineapple and julienned carrots in lemon Jell-O)It seemed like a good idea at one time.
Also another thing is that the 50s and 60s was the era of the FUTURE and SCIENCE, when suburbia and the new consumer economy was being sold as the future, and people were genuinely excited about all these new products.
Jello cheesecake is superior to normal cheesecake, rome btfo.
>>18531505Yeah jello made from horses probably
