Step back in time with these 1970s food ads that seemed like a good idea then but are anything but appetizing now. You’ll be shocked at how different food marketing used to be!
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.
