A 1990s History of Food

Probably far too many. I find myself still looking for some 90s products. Lol

I have a vivid memory of my mom getting one of those Chicken Tonight things and the entire household giving it a thumbs down. No idea which flavor it was (probably the “French Country” or whatever) but none of us liked it, at least not compared to my mom’s usual chicken casserole recipe.

If you don't, that's fine too, but I don't really care that the cost of living was higher in the 90s than the 30s or 40s.

@@prettynblue You didn’t misgender me, you just called me a girl when I’ve never been one. I’m not insulted, just surprised. We’re not talking about inflation. You can adjust any time period for inflation and observe the same thing - that the 90s were far more economically stable than the decades following. Like, I don’t understand why you’re saying I’m being nostalgic when I’m talking about information that’s data-driven. And I can absolutely comment on the state of things 26-36 years ago. I can even comment on things that happened before my lifetime. We have books, articles, journals, etc. and this is precisely why. So people can use historical context to better understand their current era. You yourself have strong opinions on events you weren’t alive for or present for. So either those are worthless shit, or maybe you need to take back that part about me not being able to understand those oh-so complex big adult intricacies of that robust 90s economy. You didn’t understand the world or US economy then and you don’t understand it now, either. Nobody does, it’s a made up shell game used by the wealthy elite to lie to us and make us think this is fair.

Hello! Just came here to say that Vienetta is still a very popular ice cream treat here in the Netherlands. :) you can find it in almost every major grocery store in regular and mini sizes! Edit: I should be clear that I am an American and a child of the 90s who moved to Europe as an adult lmao. Beef tallow fries in the 90s were the bee’s knees! Since fries are technically a Belgian import, it’s worth noting that the Belgians still make them with beef tallow instead of vegetable oil. We’ve really gotten so far away from the roots of good fries. 😔 I’m just glad we Americans still don’t slather our fries in mayonnaise like they do out here lmao

Little Ceasars used to be pretty tasty, but it's awful these days. I actually got a LC pizza today, and it had such a weird taste I couldn't eat more than a slice 😢

I absolutely love this style of reporting on decade specific food history! So happy I found this channel!! ❤

Great episode. I'm from the London. I remember going to Planet Hollywood in London a few times. The food was okay. Nothing memorable. We never got the KFC honey wings. I remember the mad cow disease. As you can imagine, there was a cover-up with that. I remember ordering takeaways more. Buying more ready meals LOL. I was eating a lot of processed foods. I would cook a bit at the weekends. It's really interesting to remember what I used to eat because it's quite different to what I eat now.

Hey, loved the vid! And I was there, very accurate description of the food of what was actually a pretty cool decade. Keep it up!

[@IntelexualMedia]

Hey, thanks!

[@sheritaj4543]

You are so right about that low fat era...had us thinking it was not overindulging to polish off a box of cookies. And Zima used to be my drink. Thanks for another fun episode.

Man, but those Snackwells were addictive 😅

I was born in 1980 so I spent the ages of 10-20 in the 90s. I remember Crystal Pepsi, and so many of these products and commercials. Excellent job on this!! You really captured the whole feel of the 90s!! Plus I love your sense of humor!! ❤❤❤❤ Great job!!

I was Born in 1982 and am a bit annoyed that she got the date that Wendys introduced its Spicy Chicken Sandwich wrong. I VIVIDLY remember when Wendys launched it and trying it for the first time: 1992.

[@IntelexualMedia]

Im so sorry! On days like this I cry for a full time fact checker who can help me out but until then, oop

[@IntelexualMedia]

[@Tornado1994]

Chicken Tonight was horrible but had a really catchy jingle. "I feel like chicken tonight--like chicken tonight..."

[@ItsLaurenE]

The irony of me sing that in the kitchen cooking chicken about a week ago wondering where and why that tapped into my memories 😂 And watching this now. 😂😂😂

Sure, we ate at Planet Hollywood often enough to make a judgement during our vacations. My mom liked that sort of theme restaurant, so we would visit the Hard Rock Cafe or House of Blues, or Planet Hollywood in any city we happened to visit. The food was certainly not bad, but it was also not the best in town either. It was a decent quality of food that likely was overpriced though, leading to that assessment, but you understood you weren't just there for the food, you were there to take pictures with all the cool stuff from movies you recognized there. That was the great thing about the Planet Hollywood locations, they all got different stuff donated and bought and replicated from all over, it really elevated the concept of theme restaurant to where visiting was an event in itself, and everyone got something different out of the place. I didn't care if they had Dorothy's slippers or Elvis' jacket, but my mom did, and she wasn't nearly as interested in the Batman or Aliens or Terminator stuff as I was.

One of the KZbinrs I look forward to every time they post a new video! Keep on going!

[@MommaBiskit]

I went to a Planet Hollywood in the 90s on a trip with a friend's family. I was maybe 13-14 and a staunch vegetarian. There was not a thing on the menu for me 😢. I think I got a side salad and french fries -- and the fries were floppy and unseasoned. Yum. The decor was cool tho.

[@SweetArmadillo361]

That Newman's Own commercial was hilariously silly.

[@jamesrourke8785]

I thought the blinking noises when Intelexual introduced the food from every year was my dryer like 3 times.
