Amazes me too just how much food packaging has changed
Take for example coffee cans
Now they are plastic tubs
Remember Cranberry juice used to be in glass jars along with countless other products including mayo and mwhip
even peanut butter
Paper towels are so skinny now days the rolls are only half the size they used to be.
TV dinners I dont even think they even make those anymore
Frozen pizza has evolved beyond anything of its former life
Jiffy pop popcorn - i dont even see that any more the kind where you had to put it on the stove burners
Remember when a snack size of potato chips was literally a snack size not 10 chips per bag
you had whole milk or skim milk no in betweens
no flavor for your coffee but just cream plain cream either in the dairy case or in a jar that was some form of powder
the meat counter actually had meat clerks who really cut the meat it was not cut in some warehouse in a different location but cut to order and packaged for you on the spot.
Ice cream was always in a rectangle box and an exotic flavor was moose tracks
the only water at the grocery store was distilled or the fountain in the back for patrons
a candy bar actually filled your chocolate needs you did not have to buy the king size mainly because the regular size was the king size
there was not a choice between paper and plastic it was all paper and the baggers used to haul your goods to your car even without asking it was service
remember too there was no scanner but just a belt and a tag that the clerk punched the price
times have changed oh my
those were just some of things i remember , see if anyone can add to the list
