Food in the 1980's!

The 1980s were a time of many food trends and fads, and there are several dishes that were popular during that decade. Here are a few of the most iconic foods from the 80s:

  1. Pop Rocks - These fizzy candies were invented in the 1970s, but they became hugely popular in the 1980s. The sensation of the candy popping in your mouth was a novelty that many people couldn't resist.

  2. Jell-O Pudding Pops - Made famous by Bill Cosby in television commercials, these frozen treats were a favourite of kids and adults alike.

  3. Chicken McNuggets - Introduced by McDonald's in the 1980s, Chicken McNuggets quickly became a fast food staple.

  4. New Coke - While not technically a food, the launch of New Coke in 1985 was a major event that marked a shift in the soft drink industry.

  5. Spaghetti-O's - This canned pasta dish was a quick and easy meal for busy families in the 80s.

  6. Quiche - Though it had been around for decades, quiche became a popular party food in the 80s, thanks in part to the cookbook "Real Men Don't Eat Quiche."

  7. Sushi - While sushi was not new to the 80s, it began to gain popularity in the United States during that decade, as more people began to embrace international cuisine.

Overall, the 80s were a time of fun and experimentation when it came to food, and many of the dishes that were popular during that decade continue to be enjoyed today.
