So underrated
I don't know what it is, but today's family are seriously missing out. I can think of 3 staples from my childhood that people today totally don't appreciate - and they should.
1) Tang. A day's supply of vitamin C and a year's supply of sugar in every glass. It's what the astronauts drank. Need I say more?
2) Spam. It's meat! In a can! Fully cooked but yummy heated. Breakfast, lunch and dinner. Even in sushi! And now I hear it's available in teriyaki flavor. Most people who knock it have never tried it.
3) Cream of mushroom soup. This magic in a can turns any leftovers into a casserole. It's the key ingredient to Tator Tot Casserole. Green bean casserole at the holidays wouldn't be the same without it.
I understand that times change. I don't let my kids ride their bikes without helmets, even though I jumped board with nails in them on a bike with a warped tire and survived. I make them wear seatbelts, although I drove to Anchorage repeatedly stretched out in the back of a Subaru with the seat down. But some of the greats from back in the day deserve a shout out.
