20 WORST Foods From The 1960s, Nobody Wants Back! 

How do you make them? The ones I know are made with ice cream😃

My grandpa made the best grasshoppers. Our family still has them every Christmas. Ironically it's a tradition in my husband's family too.

Did you have pink squirrels too? Those were also good.

Lipton onion soup mix is good in meatloaf a long with two eggs and 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs. Cover with barbecue when it's almost done and chef's kiss.

Seven up makes jello better but not mayo; yuck.

And let's not forget the salt-free seasonings since they can help as well.

I didn’t even know Cheez Whiz was gone

Nah, you aint weird, I like it to

So do I. Chef Boyardee in cans has saved a lot of mealtimes.

My grandma loved her grasshoppers

In a small, country store near me, they have Onion Soup Mix by Knorr!❤❤❤

Funny, our names are similar!

Yes it’s a scene from The Blues Brothers

@@maryroberts2099 Thank you! My sanity has been restored!

​@maryroberts2099 No it's not.. That's The Great Outdoors.. one of my favorite movies.

I agree!

Agreed on tuna casserole - I'm a product of the '70s, tuna casserole has been a go-to comfort food for me my entire life. Those canned peas-and-carrots that this video says we supposedly don't want back are a routine ingredient in my tuna casserole, sometimes I substitute veg-all - no complaints from me or my family on tuna casserole! (Ingredients include egg noodles, canned cream-of-cheese-soup, canned vegetables, chopped onions, and canned tuna, with dry breadcrumbs on top....) No complaints from me on pot roast or BLTs - those always seemed harmless. The video, as usual, is a weird mixed bag of stuff that never went anywhere, including stuff that keeps reappearing in other videos on this same channel (Vienna sausages, fondu, instant coffee, and a few other items I'm sure I've seen already in the '70s and '80s videos from this series: obviously, people wanted them to stick around!), products of other decades like jello salads (originating as far back as the Great Depression and appearing once or twice or more in every video and still enjoying some popularity in the Midwestern USA to this day), and (especially in videos for later decades) a lot of flash-in-the-pan gimmicks that certainly counted as fads but still have nostalgic fans), with only the occasional food I'd consider to truly be "worst foods nobody wants back" (in this video, the closest thing to this to me might be that mayonnaise-based jello salad....) Different entries for "canned vegetables" and canned corn, canned spinach, canned asparagus, and canned yams seems kind of lazy to me, especially since you can find all of these to this day in grocery stores here in the midwestern USA where it's hard to imagine a grocery store that isn't well-stocked with them. I'm sure they were canning vegetables long before the '60s, anyway! Chhese-wiz is somethin I couldn't touch at all without getting queasy, but there's lots of people who love thestuff, it never went anywhere... same with deviled ham and Vienna sausages; I never liked deviled ham, but Vienna sausages (AKA cocktail sausages) are something I routinely slice and toss into a pot of baked beans for some "beanies-and-weenies"... I'm sure I'm not the only one. In a similar territory is canned spaghetti - nobody buys canned spaghetti expecting it to taste like home-made spaghetti like grandma used to make, but kids have been eating the stuff up for as long as I've been alive - spaghetti-o's and Chef Boyardee canned spaghetti-and-meatballs and ravioli find a home in pantries across the USA as a quick-and-easy way to feed kids in working-class homes on a budget. The video bizarrely keeps mentioning foods that are "staples of American cuisine", but which are "rejected by diners" for being "inferior to fresh-made" equivalents, as if anyone expects processed foods to taste better than fresh-made: the selling points are the convenience and low cost. Who are these "diners", anyway? It almost sounds like they're working from some sort of "fancy" restaurant that serves canned cream corn and spam to discerning restaurant critics and Jello salad connoisseurs rating these foods with a number of stars or something.... I'm kind of confused, because, given the format, I would expect a list of fad foods that were wildly popular for some reason at the time, until everyone came to their senses and started ignoring them a couple years later, until they disappear from store shelves, recipe books, and the like, becoming weird footnotes in history.... (Some recent examples that come to mind have been the fads for "cool ranch", chipotle, and pumpkin spice flavors in suspicious combinations with foods that these flavors wouldn't really seem to go with very well, and trust me, there are definitely som food abominations out there the likes of which make canned meatloaf sound pretty good - see the Lileks Institute's Gallery of Regrettable Foods on the internet for a few horrified and uncomfortable chuckles, especially the sorts of jello salads described there as "precambrian horrors"....)

@@pietrayday9915 Hey, some of us like precambrian horrors, especially for holiday meals, in which when those jello concoctions often make there annual appearance at family dinner tables!

Exactly 👍👍

Barf! Sounds revolting...

@@LittleKitty22 I'd rather eat those lime Jello "salads" than faddish modern fare such raw fish (sushi, sashimi) and avocado toast, which I think are FAR more revolting!

@@jaysverrisson1536 I know, just why people are so keen on raw fish and avocado toast is beyond me! Raw fish is extremely dangerous and indeed people suffer parasite infections from that stuff all the time. And avocado - it contains latex which is life threatening for anyone with a latex allergy, plus it looks and tastes like vomit!
