A mainly orange fruit flavoured sugary drink that us kids loved and was originally not sold in stores. Just delivered by the milkman.

OK, that was pretty much what I’d expected as far as “Beep” is concerned, thanks for the cross border information.

Yes! And many times while standing in the rain or in a snow bank on the side of the road.

When we had Chef B. pizza it was almost always a collaborative effort between me, my dad and my brother and it was topped with Hormel pepperoni that we sliced ourselves and Pennsylvania Dutchman canned, sliced mushrooms. I still buy the kits once in awhile but now it's just dough mix and sauce; there's no little can of cheese.Pizza delivery was mom making one of these and delivering it to the family room.

And you'd eat the chicken and potatoes, and leave the vegetables.you remember a good old Swanson TV dinner.

Unfortunately that commercial was filmed at Dodger Stadium and not Milwaukee County Stadium.

Some of them would come with a pocket of pudding which I would always leave alone. How does anyone expect pudding to taste good coming from the oven?And you'd eat the chicken and potatoes, and leave the vegetables.

Yep, my oldest turned 50 in August and my youngest is 44, yikes!
Ever hear of custard?Some of them would come with a pocket of pudding which I would always leave alone. How does anyone expect pudding to taste good coming from the oven?
It's close to pudding, both are heated up just enough to thicken, one on the stove top, one in the oven. The mix & serve boxes, you say? Newcomers to the game. Puddings & custards have been made for decades, if not centuries, by using eggs as a thickener which doesn't take effect until 165 degrees F.As far as the stuff in a TV dinner..... yeah, all bets are off. I grew up on a farm, with farm cooking. Those things I simply never, ever, got at home.
Oh do I miss these. The chicken was so much better than the darn stuff they try to pass off as chicken at our local KFC now adays. Some of them used to come with brownies that were good.you remember a good old Swanson TV dinner.

Yeah stove top is one thing but when the pudding comes out of the oven hot with a nasty skin on top....as a young child this wasn't appealing. Now that apple desert was good. My favorite entree was chicken parm.Ever hear of custard?
