Weird History Food is going to shock you with some news about the age of your favorite food brands. Some of the most common foods you see on grocery store shelves have been around for decades - if not centuries. These items have been staples in the diets of people around the world for much longer than you realize, perhaps gracing the palates of international celebrities, political leaders, or your own ancestors from days gone by.

It's interesting how though some of these places have been around for so long, there are some products that have only been released recently. Cherry Coke, Toaster Strudel, and a Blizzard (started at Dairy Queen) have only been around since 1985!

In the early-90's I dated a girl who was a nanny for a successful young couple who lived in the Chicago suburbs... both of them Kraft executives. They used to give us these huge manufacturer coupon books for Kraft branded foods. Not like $1-2 off garbage, but completely free items. Thousands of dollars worth. At the time I was surprised how many brands were under the Kraft umbrella. You could "buy" half of all the items in a typical grocery store. These days it's even bigger of course, with the Heinz merger.

With the exceptions of Fritos, Coca-Cola, and Kellogg's, I had no idea these brands were this old! I'd like to see a video exploring the full history of Frito-Lay, including the original mascot Frito Kid, who was popular enough to be an animatronic in Frito-Lay's Disneyland restaurant Casa De Fritos. A video on restaurants that have been around forever would also be cool, especially Jack In The Box, since although it's popular, not enough people know about it's past. Opened in 1951, with the original Jack being scary looking, it introduced a lot of novel ideas, although In N Out beat them to the drive thru concept. In the late 60s, Purina [yes, THAT Purina] bought out the chain and went crazy expanding it. In the early 70s, Jack In The Box gave Jack a redesign and a new voice: Paul Winchell, Tigger himself. They also gave Jack a cast of friends. Three of the animated ads [In The Park, Baseball, Jack In The Box Animated Commercial 1970], and three comics [How A House Makes Noise, Where Oil Comes From, How Pain Helps Us] are on KZfaq, but that's pretty much it, as there's surprisingly little info on the 70s incarnation of Jack. In the 80s, they blew Jack up, but when E Coli struck in 1993, they brought Jack back. Honestly, Jack In The Box may actually need it's own entire video, considering how interesting it's history is, which the company is sadly trying to ignore. They didn't even acknowledge the previous Jack mascot eras during the 70th anniversary in 2021!

I never understood how Jack in the Box made it. When I grew up in Orange County, they were basically McDonald's with a drive thru (McDonald's didn't have drive thrus yet) and onion rings, but much worse. When I moved to St. Louis, that was basically the only place outside of the West Coast that had them, because Purina owned them. They were definitely better at that time. Now, most of the ones in St. Louis are closed, as are most of the Steak n' Shakes.

The guy that invented cocacola was not in fact using sugar as a way to treat his addiction. The coke part of cocacola comes from cocaine, at the time coke was invented this was in everything from eyedrops to cough syrup for kids. while the drug is no longer in the soda the cocacola company remains the only company to be able to legally import coca leaves as they found a way to extract the flavor they want without the mind altering substances.

Why not randomly pair Lincoln with any number of brands that existed in his day? Did he have a particular liking for cookies? And, no, Keebler was not a national brand in those days. It was part of a network of bakers and the brand itself would have likely been regional at first. Lincoln was long gone before Keebler became a nationally recognized brand.
