I remember as a young boy in the 1970′s what a treat it was when my parents would go out on a Saturday night and I was left at home to fend for myself with a TV dinner (oh yeah…and a baby sitter). I would love how the peas and carrots would inevitably liberate themselves from their own compartment and make it into the dessert or potatoes. I would also attempt such a feat by liberating myself away from the baby sitter to the frustration of both her and my parents. My favorite part was the apple cake cobbler, which always burnt the roof of my mouth (ouch).
As American’s waistlines increased in the late 70′s so did the size of this culinary delight with the introduction of the Hungry-Man’s TV dinner. For more tasty tidbits on the history of the TV dinner check out our permanent collection.

Some people take their food seriously -- but no one more than one customer at a fast-food outlet in Toledo, Ohio. Melodi Dushane was so frustrated that she couldn’t order chicken nuggets -- because the restaurant was serving breakfast -- that she attacked the member of staff. On the surveillance video, Dushane, 25, appears to get out of her car and hit the drive-through employee in the mouth.

If you told someone you saw a large woolly mammoth-type creature walking down the street with a giant yellow bird a few years back, someone may have thought you had clearly been doing the herbal. A magazine article in 1985 and growing concerns about children having to keep secrets about ‘not so child-like’ incidents that occur sometimes prompted the folks at the Childrens Television Workshop to come up with a solution that helped children feel more comfortable sharing.
Rather than ‘snuff’ Snuffy, the show’s creators decided to have Snuffy come out from behind the preverbal curtain and reveal himself to adults and children alike so everyone could openly share their experiences with strange creatures. Not unlike the experiences we as adults have on late night trips to Walmart with strange creatures of a different sort.

Chuck the cardboard box. Macaroni has grown up. Located in a curvy elbow noodle shaped space in Soho NYC lunch time is on a whole new level. From the, umm basic? four Cheese: Queso Blanco, Fontina, Emmental and Gouda to Mac Lobsta, this macaroni isn’t kids stuff.
And with take-out containers shaped like giant tubes of pasta it is hard to resist running out with an order under your elbow.

You have to love people’s inventiveness. Still seen at garage sales in my home town, the Egg Cuber makes one wonder whether the square chicken or the square egg came first? No matter how you slice it, the egg cuber evens things out with perfect 90 degree corners.
