What was wrong with people in the 70s.

I wonder if the ebbing percentage of smokers has anything to do with changing food tastes.

Corporate food in the 2020s is fattier and sweeter than the 1920s, sure, but 7Up salad is horrendously sweet and would be acceptable today, except for everything else about it.

Smoking wouldn't be the only answer, but it'd be interesting if it could be traced to a blunting of taste preferences. Hot sauce wasn't big back then, but if all someone could taste was "sweet" then they might be eating mostly with their eyes and go nuts for 7Up salad.

You ever help a very demented person eat? Some people get to the point where sweetness is their only criterion for whether they'll keep eating something, or swallow it. If someone's like that you end up having to pour sugar packets into their puréed food, at least the meat/protein dish, and ply them with Ensure.

I think it's been said here before, but Jell-O salads were historically lemon, until they added lime as a flavor. Tastes and budgets were such that people accepted lemon or lime Jell-O salads as a way of using up leftovers and stretching savory ingredients. Then in the 1960s Jell-O sold savory flavors specifically for use in salads/aspics, noting in the marketing that it's more appropriate to use a non-sweet base for a savory salad.

This is a job for a forensic culinary anthropologist, but Aunt Myrna's recipe could have originated as a fully savory one, maybe even from a Jell-O sponsored feature in a ladies' magazine, then been elaborated on and changed as savory Jell-O was discontinued, as other recipes were remembered, as different leftovers were available in the kitchen. Other than chemical considerations like pineapple, the historical draw of a Jell-O salad was that you can put anything in there.

A bit off-topic, but man, 3-D gelatin art is pretty. Lots of videos of little Hispanic grandmas showing three things they're good at: desserts, decorating things with flowers, stabbing something a million times with a smile. These are all gelatin (or agar), not Jell-O made with flowers in them:

I'm sure it was a lot less sweet back then, too.

I dunno; comparing the 3 oz box of lime Jell-O, the ingredient order hasn't changed (dextrose and sugar being the same thing).

I wonder if Jell-O Corporate plays down their involvement in the Rosenberg spy case? Obviously Jell-O was innocent, but one of the smoking guns was that they used a torn-in-half Jell-O box flap to identify a contact. Lime Jell-O is up there with grape Flavor-Aid if you're making a Potluck of Infamy.

It was done. One of the problems with these massive legacy threads is that they occasionally circle back. I believe the thread did the homework on Myrna's Salad around the time Penguin0 started memeing on the party salad. It's absolutely meant to be savory, not sweet at all.

The smoking angle is an interesting thought though, everyone smoked back then.

Jack's getting desperate for cash, that scam new house in Tennessee isn't gonna to pay for itself. Hammy's wageslave salary must not be cutting it anymore and Youtube likely hasn't paid out in years due to him barely getting any views that aren't from hatewatchers despite his inflated 500k viewer count from the early 2010s

I figured as much, but considering the amount of meme shit, searching around for unironic sources about "party cheese salad" is really a bit of a chore.

This is the part I don't believe. Lime Jello Salad is fairly normal in the South even Paula Deen has one where she doesn't even cook the Jell-O just whips it into a big cool whip slop. For southerners it's green and in a bowl. Close enough to call "salad". If it were meant to be savory then it would more likely be in the aspic mold form like the Betty Crocker recipe. I really think somewhere down the line someone just got confused and mixed up the two recipes. The likely culprit is Aunt Myrna but knowing that she's still alive as Jack struggles to breathe makes me question if Jack was the one who ultimately fucked the whole thing up.

Aspics and other gelatin abominations became huge when refrigerators became more affordable due to it being a way to show off your wealth to the neighbors and family at dinner parties. Aunt Myrna concocting hers in the 60s/70s was just the South being slow on the draw for everything fashionable.

For a guy with five strokes, busted tendons, a dead arm, kidney stones, and collapsed vocal cords, Jack seems to really like virtue signaling to his audience about the standard American diet.

All of the Scalfani grease went to her hair. That shit is disgusting. She clearly doesn't like the peeps either. Get her off camera
 
i don't understand why they would buy literally hundreds of peeps for this "test," and then freezedry them all into chunks of agate. do they think these are going to be nice treats to give away at the prison or church or churchprison? what lucky parishioners will get the half-dozen or so that tammy junior took bites out of and then put back?

I've read a couple books that have touched on the idea in places, if not in detail, one that sticks out in my mind was Orwell going over the lack of developed taste he'd found in the working class people living in industrial areas he interviewed. Picking candy apples to the real thing was an example he got stuck on, having no real context for natural food they preferred artificial tinned stuff, could only appreciate overwhelmingly strong flavours, and it was even despite the pulp and sawdust standards you saw for mass produced food in the day.
I'm sure there's better explorations of this sort of thing if you go looking for it but I do think there's something to be set for getting insight into a culture based on their diet and food preferences. Jack & his family were pretty poor when he was young and the party salad reeks of a broken culture to create it, continue eating it, and then show it to others like it's a thing people should eat.

Absolutely fucking worthless video. It's actually insulting he never uploaded the dishwasher cooking test and yet felt this absolute waste was worth it.

Not even worth shitting on it other than he deserves that dislike ratio for this piece of shit. Peeps take a good while to go bad if you keep it in packaging, much like chocolate, and it's completely worthless to "preserve" like this. At least if he made his own before freeze-drying it, it could've been slightly interesting. But nah, just an excuse to eat ten pounds of an even worse version of a garbage candy when no one is looking.

I want his freeze-dryer to make like his ventricles and clog up and fucking choke.
