Baby Boomer Foods No Millennial Would Be Caught Dead Eating

Tastes change from generation to generation. And we mean literal tastes, as in food. Today’s young adults aren’t necessarily eating all the same things as their parents and grandparents.

Let’s take a look at the once popular American foods that are quickly disappearing in the 21st century…

Party Potato and Egg Salad

Potato salad isn’t the worst thing in the world. Egg salad is also not too bad. But why does it have to be mushed up together in a loaf loaded with mayonnaise? It’s certainly not the first thing I’d run to at a party.

Corn Flakes

This vintage cereal doesn’t get the attention it used to. Among millennials, cereal consumption in general are way down.

But even when they do eat cereal, they usually go for healthier fare, not Grandpa’s boring old corn flakes, which are somehow loaded with sugar yet so bland at the same time.

Meat Pate

I’d like to know who thought it would be a good idea to mash up the liver of an animal and serve it on bread. Gross.

Tuna and Jell-O Pie

This has to be a mistake. I’m convinced the person who came up with this concoction was high as hell. Why anyone would want to mix Jell-O with meat or fish is beyond me. In fact, Jell-O is an ingredient in way too many midcentury cookbooks.

Our grandparents were gross.
