Popular Foods That We All Stopped Eating
Food are much like movie stars; some become popular immediately, some come and go in complete
obscurity, while some achieve success initially before bowing out for the limelight.
For many reasons, the food items in today’s video has since fell out of favor with people, even though
they were considered staples during their heyday. From health food that turned out to be completely
harmful, to a drink that was associated with a gruesome massacre, stay tuned till the end to find out
what that is, here are 10 popular foods that we all stopped eating.

Number 10. Crisco
Back in the good old days, literally every kitchen in the US had a big tin of Crisco hanging around in a
cupboard or counter somewhere, and with good reason. This is the ingredient that made grandma’s
homemade cookies taste so awesome. Unfortunately, it has been since determined that Crisco wasn’t
he kind of think you would want inside your body. After all, it was just partially hydrogenated vegetable
oil processed into a solid, which basically means that it’s just a tub of trans fat.
Although Crisco has changed its recipe over the years, it has yet to reclaim its prominent place in our
kitchen. One of the reasons for the downfall of Crisco is the massive shift in how it's been portrayed.
Believe it or not, it, and other trans fats for that matter, was marketed as a healthier alternative to lard,
and this endured all throughout the 1980s.
Everything changed in the 1990s, when we started to realize just how bad trans fats are. Even though
the Crisco of today is far from what it was in the past, the stigma of finding out that the supposedly
healthy wonder food was actually clogging your arteries is just too great.

Number 9. Cottage Cheese
Cottage cheese has a very long history in American kitchens. It dates back to a Colonial era; a time when
nothing went to waste, not even the leftover milk that was scraped off the cream, which what cottage
cheese basically is. It's been pretty consistently produced, but it wasn't until the 1950s that it became
really big.
It remained popular for decades, in fact, it was so popular in the 1960s that it was mentioned in Mad
Men. But its heyday that was definitely the 1970s. At the time, the average American would consume
five pounds of the stuff annually, it was a common ingredient in other recipes, and more importantly it
was eaten alone by the more health-conscious of diners.
However, in time people became less enamored with cottage cheese, specifically its weird texture and
bland taste. Although cottage cheese is still being made today, it definitely isn’t enjoying the popularity
it had just a few decades ago.

Number 8. Congealed Salads

Congealed salads; just the name alone conjures up images of various meats and vegetables set in Jell=O
and served in the shape of bread. Because that’s what it actually is. It doesn’t sound appetizing now, but
back in the day, they were pretty popular. The basic idea has been around since medieval Europe, when
it wasn't Jell-O, but gelatin made from calf feet.

Its popularity is not without its reasons though. For one, it was a very practical way to get rid of
leftovers, they were versatile, easy, and mess-free, and by the time World War II rolled around, they
were a bit of deliciousness in the face of rationing.
They even became some sort of a status symbol, because if you could afford the refrigerator you needed
to make it, you were doing pretty well. Jell-O even released savory flavors like mixed vegetable and
celery in the 1960s primarily because of the popularity of congealed salads. But when the 1970s came
along, the writing was on the wall.
On reason was convenience — these things are actually pretty time-consuming to make — and another
reason was because even then, people were trying to cut back on sugar. You can still find people making
Jell-O salads, as they've managed to stay in vogue, particularly in Utah. For the rest of the country… not
so much.

Number 7. Sloppy Joes
If you somehow completely forgot that sloppy joes, a particular childhood favorite of mine, ever existed,
well, you’re not alone. While you can still find them occasionally and there's even at least one gourmet
sloppy joe food truck out there, they are currently not the weekly dinnertime staple they once were.
A social media survey conducted by Eat A Sandwich tried to find out when was the last time someone
had a sloppy joe, and the answers did vary,
