National TV Dinner Day: More
Celebrates Swanson and Sons's 1953 introduction of the
TV dinner. The first was a traditional Thanksgiving dinner.
Tomorrow's food holiday is not so much a food, but a novel way of serving it. Tomorrow is 'National TV Dinner Day'. It celebrates Swanson and Son's 1953 introduction of the TV dinner. The first was a traditional Thanksgiving dinner of turkey, cornbread dressing, peas and sweet potatoes. It had to be cooked 25 minutes in the oven and cost 98 cents.
[The Hankster says] I can't see that 98 cents worth of food could fill a hungry man. Wait a minute, that came later. Maybe for that very reason.
Tomorrow is 'National Swap Ideas Day'.
[The Hankster says] Sounds like a good idea which is not practiced enough. I personally don't think that turning on the same political talk show and reading the same political web site over and over, where you can anticipate the same old regurgitation, is the same as exchanging ideas.
