Apparently, baby boomers had zero interest in drinking good-tasting beer. Instead, they preferred these tasteless cans of we don’t even know what. Calling this foul substance beer doesn’t sit right with us. You don’t need some fancy beer judge certification manual to figure it out. Just take a sip.
This strange brew barely even registers on the alcohol scale, boasting a measly 4% or 5%. Imagine if they brewed beer in prison. Bud Light would be that sad, watered-down concoction making the rounds. Is it any wonder that Millennials (or all sane persons) are running away from this stuff? We’ll take our craft beers or wine any day; thank you very much!
Soda
Drinking soda every day, in any weather, at any time, is a slippery slope to a world of dental and health woes. Thanks to a trend started by baby boomers, the world is in the clutches of a serious soda addiction. And it’s time to confront reality and face the consequences.
Whether you call it soda, Coke, or pop, let's be clear - sugary carbonated drinks are killing us slowly. So, soda lovers, kick the habit to the curb and break free from the clutches of excessive sugar intake. Let’s quench our thirst with smarter choices that nourish our bodies and keep us on the path to well-being.
"Italian" Food
Baby boomers love Italian cuisine. But let's set the record straight: what they consider Italian food is far from authentic. Sorry to burst your spaghetti and meatball bubble, but those classics (along with garlic bread) aren't exactly what you'd find on Italian dinner tables. The story of contemporary Italian food is complex. The massive wave of Italian migration to the United States created a unique culinary fusion.
The food cultures of both countries became so intertwined that distinguishing one from the other has become an impossible task. One could argue that the “Italian” cuisine we know and love today is more American.
Ketchup
Condiments reigned supreme during the Boomer years of the 1950s and '60’s. And if you were in America, kitchens and restaurants everywhere relied on three: ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise. But everyone knew deep down that the top condiment of choice was ketchup. Boomers slathered ketchup on everything, from scrambled eggs and lunch meats to steaks or pork chops.
As the hamburger became a cultural phenomenon, it was unheard of to have it without ketchup on the side. But times have changed, and we urge Boomers to evolve with it. With the sheer variety of spices and seasoning today, having ketchup with everything is simply criminal!
Vienna Sausage
First of all, meat should never come from a can, alright? It raises immediate red flags, signaling that whatever it's referring to should be avoided at all costs. Let’s not overlook some of the alarming ingredients, from parboiled pork to sheep intestines.
This monstrosity screams survival meal for those braving a zombie apocalypse or the end of the world as we know it. Baby Boomers still find these “sausages” oddly nostalgic or appealing in a bizarre way. We hope this oddity becomes a thing of the past. Fresh meat over weird stuff in a can, any day! It’s a no-brainer.
