During the mid '60s thru the mid '70s is when fast foods became all the
rage.. most anything served at fast food eateries qualifies for this thread.
Fondue was far more popular during the '50s. Penny candy was most popular
during the '40s thru the mid '50s. The years from 2000 to 2010 will be known
as the Junk Food Decade, predominently empty calorie prepared foods that can
be eaten at the keyboard. The PC Dinner has already eclipsed the TV Dinner.
The decade starting 2011 will be known for the demise of the drive-thru, at
the rate cars are shrinking they will be much too small to accomodate all
the wide asses. By 2030 the stupidmarket will no longer exist, folks will
grocery shop on line and everything will be delivered by USPS, Brown, FedEx,
etc... of course all food will arrive in a small carton, it'll all be in
tablet form or some slimey slop in a packet you squeeze down your throat,
naturally it'll all be by Rx under the newly instituted gubermint medical
plan.. By 2035 the kitchen will no longer exist except in the Smithsonian
