clearly you never had it from a can in 50’s and 60’s. It was unrecognizably as a source of food. I have no idea who they were foolin with the Popeye cartoons. It tastes just fine when cooked fresh. Frozen orange juice was equally bad. tasted like it was canned in recycled motor oil can (yes oil use to come in cans).
Only on weekends, if that. We were very active as youths. Just load up during dinner. (Which is fine, because I don’t like sweets that much. Maybe that’s why.)
Christ, maybe I’m getting real old. Is oil in cans that old-timey a concept? I’m not even 40 and I remember oil coming in cans. Hell, I even remember “Oil Can” Boyd.
Damn. I am getting old, aren’t I?
Bahh…oil cans smoil cans…
We just twisted the “tap” on the bottom side of the dinosaurs to get our oil . And most of them seemed to like it.
My only rule is that they had to eat all of their fruit and/or vegetables, which was their choice. (They usually picked whole fruit or raw vegetables, such as broccoli or baby carrots (with ranch dressing.)) That was the only thing that was not optional. I encouraged them to eat a few bites of meat. If they didn’t want to eat the starch, that was fine with me. And while I wasn’t willing to make a separate meal for a picky eater, I was willing to leave seasoning out of their portion of the meat, if that was their preference. I think one’s taste for seasoning changes throughout the years.
The internet is starting to get scary. I googled it and found a boardwhere the same question was asked. So I’m guessing mid to late 80’s before they were gone. So roughly 25 years ago.
Sounds about right to me, although I don’t think they became obsolete until the very early 90s.
Whoa! I just noticed the part about him getting fed the vomit veggies. Jeez.
yeah, well when we were kids we didn’t get the vegetables from the vomit… those were picked out and we just got the vomit… and we were grateful.
And oil cans… we walked home from the refinery with the oil in our pockets.
This thread is weird.
I was gonna say something but let it go.
