RETRO ADdiction - 1950's Chef Boyardee pizza ad

[@MShep-mh5xo]

Like a teenage boy would think eating that would beat going out. Haha

[@rcaive0875]

Exactly. In adult terms it would be like, "Let's go hit the clubs tonight!" "I've got a better idea...Let's drink Mad Dog & dance in my basement!"

[@inkey2]

Keep in mind back then there was really no "going out". There wasn't a sub/pizza shop on every corner. The only places you could find it was at the snack bar of "Drive-In movie theatres" In fact a pizza/sub shop did not open in my large metro Boston suburban city till 1965 and there was a line going down the street the day they opened. Pizza was a scarce delicacy back in them old days. You have to realize the era. Just like Asian restaurants were fairly scarce back then.

[@nontew85]

They really just had just powdered cheese that didn’t cover the whole pizza??

[@ScammerStudio]

I mean I’m sure it worked for its time. But that fake grated cheese stuff doesn’t even melt lol.

[@thisisnt_brndn]

I think she is saying "The pizza that makes it right is Chef Boyardee", but the way she says it sounds off

[@BrooklynAvenue]

"The pizza mix that's racist! Chef Boyardee!" Honest advertising.

[@scoutlikestopoop7887]

@@BrooklynAvenue how is it racist

[@roguedoge2479]

Is the cheese real pizza?

[@bickeya.j.m8470]

The pizza ain't that great. I made it a few times. It wasn't horrible, but not that great. The crust needs improvement.

[@inkey2]

This was from back in the day where there was not a pizza/sub shop on every corner. One of the few places you could get pizza was at the snack bar of a Drive-In movie theatre. I have tried this pizza kit a few times since the 1950s and it has remained unchanged. The PROs are the sauce is really good and it's easy to make, The CONs are that the crust is spongy and the pukey stench of the cheese is almost intolerable. The stench of the chees will fill your home from the basement to the attic. When I was a kid and my mother made it the neighbors would actually comment (complain really) about the smell.
