Remember when we said Jell-O was bad? Get ready to have your taste buds revolt twice over because we’ve got something even worse in store for you. Brace yourselves for the horrifying creation that emerged from the depths of the 70s: Aspic.
We can think of a million other food options that don’t involve the horrifying combination of meat and gelatin. Aspic is meat suspended in a translucent, gelatinous prison. Don’t let the picture fool you into thinking there’s something remotely palatable about this horror show. If it comes down to it, choose Jell-O over Aspic. You read that right.
Cream Cheese and Bologna Sandwiches
When it comes to food, the baby boomer generation loves its holy trinity of starch, cheese, and meat. But it's still hard to believe there are people who consider bologna a valid form of meat. And worse still, they're pairing it with cream cheese! Cream cheese deserves better than that, alright? Heck, bologna deserves better than this pairing!
It's time to take cream cheese elsewhere, even if it’s on plain old white bread. We suggest leaving bologna behind in the 1960s where it belongs. It’s not the healthiest option for you, even if it might bring back memories of simpler times.
Schwan's Foods
Speaking of food quirks of the baby boomer generation, one name seems to pop up repeatedly: Schwan's Co. This Minnesota-based food company, with its 65-year history, has managed to maintain a rather notorious reputation in the frozen food department.
It started with their frozen pizza inception in 1966. Since then, Schwan's has lived up to its reputation of brands baby boomers just can’t let go of. Sorry, but have you seen the fresh food options available these days? We have elaborate food kits and everything. Frozen pizza gives us the chills. Give us a fresh slice from the local Italian pizzeria down the street any day!
Snackwell's Low-Fat Foods
Fat-free cookies aren't actually healthy, Baby Boomers! Sorry to burst your bubble, but it's time to face the hard reality of your beloved cookies. When a cookie proudly claims to be "fat-free," it has often been heavily processed and loaded with questionable ingredients to compensate for the lack of dietary fat.
While you were indulging in those “guilt-free” treats, your bodies were silently paying the price. It’s high time baby boomers reevaluate their dietary choices unless they want to deal with diabetes and heart disease. Have you fallen into the fat-free cookie trap, or have you found healthier alternatives to satisfy your sweet tooth?
Wonder Bread
White bread has become a symbol of an era where convenience trumped quality. But as we grow wiser, our taste buds yearn for something more. Bread requires more thought and care. To Millennials, it’s a food group in its own right, deserving far more appreciation and reverence. White bread makes us nostalgic, too, we admit. But you’ve got to break free from nostalgia (and mediocre bread) at some point.
Come join us and explore the world of artisanal bread. Nothing compares to bread made from carefully selected grain - from nutty whole wheat to tangy sourdough and everything in between. You’ll never go back to white bread again.
