TV Dinners
Every morning I read CNN.com and this morning I saw this article, "Inventor of TV Dinner dies at 83"
I remember eating TV dinners when I was little and them not tasting so bad. Always had to make sure when we bought them, they included a dessert. Now that I'm older, I don't find TV dinners as good as they used to be. I find that in more and more food I eat as I'm older.
For example, I used to love Dots Candy as a kid and now they are just so bland and not appealing to me. On this site, there is a lot of Old Candy that I used to enjoy but don't think I could stomach today. Wax Lips???
Does anyone else feel that way? Is there a candy that you just loved as a child and found again as an adult and thought how did I eat this?

And yea, those apples were hot. I would pick out which tv dinner I bought BASED on which dessert I wanted. I think my favorite was Swanson's fried chicken with mashed potatoes, peas and carrots and a little brownie.
