Does a Miracle Whip Yule log sound appetizing to you?
I'm guessing not, but that didn't stop an advertiser in the 1970s from giving it a shot.
Things are different than they were 50 years ago, and that extends to the culinary world.
Here are 20 1970s food advertisements that look gross today.
1
Swanson
Dinner? More like dog food.
2
Space Food Sticks
A Pillsbury specialty.
3
Figurines
Eat chocolate for your figure! Yeah, no.
4
Miracle Whip
I don’t even mind Miracle Whip, but that’s an abomination.
5
The Luxury Loaf
All of the ham you could want.
6
Jell-O
Now that’s a little too green.
7
Frank Cannon
And a massive turkey.
8
Taco Bell Menu
Somehow it looks worse, even though it’s probably better.
9
Duff’s
Does that look appealing?
10
Manwich Sloppy Joe's
Sandwich sauce.
11
Freakies
Freakin’ weird.
12
Crumb Cakes
They look like burnt toast.
13
Seven Up
That’s too many flavors.
14
Nature Valley
The bar looks the same, but that wrapping is nauseating.
15
Cheese Tid-Bits
Cheetos superiority for sure.
16
Pudding Pops
Just give me a normal pop, or normal pudding. Not both.
17
Tang
From what I’ve seen, space food is gross.
18
Hickory Farms
That’s a LOT of cheese.
19
Quarter Pounder
Looks juicy, but burnt.
20
Gaines Burgers
Those look like you could grill some for yourself.
