Back when I was out of high school , working full time and had a one bedroom apartment I lived on Banquet ( or Swanson) frozen pot pies. Back then you could get 5 for a 1.00 on sale. I would buy a small chest freezer full. Took like 40 minutes to cook them in a oven. I usually cooked 3 or 4 at a time, ate two and saved one or two for later. I got soooo sick of eating them I havent had a pot pie in like 30+ years lol

3 or 4 at a time why not only 1 🤮

@@Leatherface1973. well at 40 minutes to bake it was best to cook a few at a time and just reheat them when you wanted another. Plus its more efficient on the electric bill. This was before you could cook a pot pie in the micro wave.

I remember my mom buying these as an occasional treat. The mashed potatoes were unusually light in texture and quite salted, as was the meat portion. I imagine all that foil is still in a landfill, hoping to decompose one day.

Back when frozen dinners still used foil covers and the meal was in a foil tray ❤️

In 1976 all of the men looked like that. I don't know who decided big heads of permed hair looked good on men. Ridiculous. I remember my older brother got a perm, and had a huge bush of hair. Those were the days.
@msr1116 8 ай бұрын
The fuzzy perm might have been a failed attempt at copying the spherical Afro hair so prevalent among African-Americans in the 1970s. Unless it was natural it often looked weird.

My brother and sis in law got the first one I ever saw or used back in the very early 80s. It was a Magic Chef ( they got it from Heilig Meyers) and was huge you could stick a turkey in it. It was expensive but very well made. They used it well over 30 years

When I was around 8, 1982, I begged my mom for some of these. I thought they looked amazing and wanted to have them for a after school meal. She finally caved in and got me 2 of them, but told me I was not gonna like it. I got home from school one day and popped one in the oven. I felt so grown up, cooking my own meal lol. I ate some of it….and it was disgusting. It tasted like medicine and I was so grossed out. The other stayed in the freezer for about a year and she finally threw it away.

Wait, can you repeat that? You remember reading a product label in 1976? That was 47 years ago. You specifically remember reading a food label? Seems far fetched.
