Mid Atlantic accent. Was created by an Australian man who thought thats how everybody should speak. It was taught in schools in major cities like New York and a lot of people in show business came from there.

[@RyanAllen1217]

I believe this was also adopted further partially out of necessity, as microphones and speakers of the age weren’t very good at recording and reproducing the bass tones of more natural human voice. The Trans-Atlantic accent made speech a lot more treble-focused, and things sounded clearer because of it.

They didn't have a gazillion different snack food products and convenience food products available back then. If you look at a cookbook from back then, you'll see all kinds of recipes for stuff that no one would feel the need to make today because you could just buy it at the store, or there are WAY better options now. People had to make from scratch, every little tiny food item that existed, including a lot of snacks. Pre-made bagged snacks like chips were just starting to become a thing. People were only just starting to get used to stuff like that.

[@daytonasixty-eight1354]

@@Melissa0774 That's a big reason why everyone was skinnier back then too. You had to cook your food and buy it relatively fresh. Potato chips were kind of for special occasions so you didn't really have "junk" food snacks everywhere. If you wanted a snack, you cooked. So if you are the kind of person too lazy to exercise, you were probably too lazy to get up and cook something. No microwaves either.

People didn't use garbage bags in the 1950's, plastic bags were just invented in 1950 and came on the market in the 1960's. Paper bags just ripped with wet trash. Burning trash at home was very common. Trash bags were introduced as an environmental measure to reduce litter while handling.

In 1950 we were just 2 1/2 years out of the restrictions on food from WW2, when flour, sugar, butter, eggs, meat and other items were strictly rationed. So I'm sure there was still excitement when you could simply stock up on these recently restricted foods and entertain. In Britain, rationing didn't end until 1954, so the US was still ahead of the curve in food production and availability. All foods were appreciated and making a meal to share with friends was probably a happy event, in contrast to the war years.

In the 60's and 70's, my mom made a layered loaf of similar fillings on alternating pumpernickel and white breads (cut the long way). It was "frosted" on top and sides with cream cheese and olives to decorate. Each slice gave you a taste of filling layers and both breads. It was served for ladies luncheons. I liked it even though I was a kid! I should do a small version of this sometime.

The tuna melt is still popular today. For best results, use toasted white bread, cheddar, or pepperjack cheese, and albacore tuna (with a bit of mayo). Put the bread in the toaster, mix the tuna + mayo, assemble with cheese on top and melt cheese under broiler. Spicy pickles and Lays chips on the side. Pairs nicely with 7UP or similar white soda (chilled).
