It's interesting how though some of these places have been around for so long, there are some products that have only been released recently. Cherry Coke, Toaster Strudel, and a Blizzard (started at Dairy Queen) have only been around since 1985!
Working in the grocery retail sector fot nearly twenty years, you get an affinity with all of the foods, brands, and ingredients. I knew a lot of these brands histories, but learned a few new ones too.
These were all really interesting, love the history that went along with the products, great job! BTW, the Pillsbury Doughboy's name is "Poppin Fresh" I had a plushy of him when I was young..so cute!
@@Noneofyourbusiness2000 how do you know if she wasn’t already deeply involved in the show, and just now provided her voice? He’s probably sharing the role because he wants to, and she’s willing to. Grow up
@@jtgd We don't want to hear her. Looks at the comments. Look at the view count. Look at the downvotes(if you have the addon). You want to talk about growing up, stop defending this because she's a girl.
I really find that to be one of the coolest things I've ever seen! How awesome is that, the entemens company is really a great place to learn about the world of sauce! ❣️😁
In the early-90's I dated a girl who was a nanny for a successful young couple who lived in the Chicago suburbs... both of them Kraft executives. They used to give us these huge manufacturer coupon books for Kraft branded foods. Not like $1-2 off garbage, but completely free items. Thousands of dollars worth. At the time I was surprised how many brands were under the Kraft umbrella. You could "buy" half of all the items in a typical grocery store. These days it's even bigger of course, with the Heinz merger.
I knew that hardtack was a staple of the civil war but I didn’t realize that Keebler was the manufacturer. During the 1980s my dad and I preferred Keebler graham crackers over Nabisco 😊
With the exceptions of Fritos, Coca-Cola, and Kellogg's, I had no idea these brands were this old! I'd like to see a video exploring the full history of Frito-Lay, including the original mascot Frito Kid, who was popular enough to be an animatronic in Frito-Lay's Disneyland restaurant Casa De Fritos. A video on restaurants that have been around forever would also be cool, especially Jack In The Box, since although it's popular, not enough people know about it's past. Opened in 1951, with the original Jack being scary looking, it introduced a lot of novel ideas, although In N Out beat them to the drive thru concept. In the late 60s, Purina [yes, THAT Purina] bought out the chain and went crazy expanding it. In the early 70s, Jack In The Box gave Jack a redesign and a new voice: Paul Winchell, Tigger himself. They also gave Jack a cast of friends. Three of the animated ads [In The Park, Baseball, Jack In The Box Animated Commercial 1970], and three comics [How A House Makes Noise, Where Oil Comes From, How Pain Helps Us] are on TH-cam, but that's pretty much it, as there's surprisingly little info on the 70s incarnation of Jack. In the 80s, they blew Jack up, but when E Coli struck in 1993, they brought Jack back. Honestly, Jack In The Box may actually need it's own entire video, considering how interesting it's history is, which the company is sadly trying to ignore. They didn't even acknowledge the previous Jack mascot eras during the 70th anniversary in 2021!
I never understood how Jack in the Box made it. When I grew up in Orange County, they were basically McDonald's with a drive thru (McDonald's didn't have drive thrus yet) and onion rings, but much worse. When I moved to St. Louis, that was basically the only place outside of the West Coast that had them, because Purina owned them. They were definitely better at that time. Now, most of the ones in St. Louis are closed, as are most of the Steak n' Shakes.
One thing that just occurred to me is most of these companies have never had to change their logo, and if they did, it was only a minor change. That's incredible!
I already knew Tabasco has been around a long time from watching Back to the Future Part III. You see a bottle on the bar and I'm pretty sure it was added to Docs "wake up juice" lol.
Regarding Tobasco... My family is directly related to that family. Years ago, there was a disagreement regarding putting the family name on the sauce. We compromised and said they need to change the spelling. Man, I could be hot sauce royalty if my family wasn't so stubborn.
11:48. Fun fact. In Chile, rolled oats were unheard of as food for people until Quaker Oats arrived (in the early 60s, maybe?), to the point that even nowadays people call the product "quaker." I was a thin girl, and I distinctly remember a lady talking to my mum and recommending her to give me "quaker" so I became plump. My mum didn't know what "quaker" was. 😋
Tabasco might be 150 years old but it was japanese and koreans that taught me the sauce taste great on spaghetti. As if I needed more of a reason to use it on basically everything.
@@AsukaLangleyS02 not about the spice it's about the flavor. It's just vinegar red pepper and salt. The spice is there but it's flavor can't be replicate. Imo at least if you are eating hotsauce for burn only you missing out taste that can come through with different peppers.
Entenmann's is the least bad of the crappy national bakers. Like many other East Coast brands, they weren't available in California when I grew up there decades ago, I never heard of them until I moved to the Mid West.
Bonnie Tyler's song "Holding Out For a Hero" (which is awesome) was made for the Footloose soundtrack, was on Shrek 2, and also on BOTH the Super Mario Bros. and Tetris film soundtracks.
Here in Australia only Heinz i grew up with is the tin and jar foods, eew coca-cola, Oat cereal we only have Uncle Tobys, Kellogg's, Kraft is o.k. and corn flakes LOL so bad... And most of these foods have never seen here in Australia
Here's a unique story: x According to Mashed, Queen Elizabeth used to eat the same breakfast everyday: Kellogg's Corn Flakes. x In 2022, Kellogg's introduced Queen Flakes to celebrate Queen Elizabeth's historic run.

The guy that invented cocacola was not in fact using sugar as a way to treat his addiction. The coke part of cocacola comes from cocaine, at the time coke was invented this was in everything from eyedrops to cough syrup for kids. while the drug is no longer in the soda the cocacola company remains the only company to be able to legally import coca leaves as they found a way to extract the flavor they want without the mind altering substances.
I would humbly like to ask what the music track at 16:57 is called. It's a wonderful beat and the "Shazam" app couldn't find the name of it - as usual.
I don't know, my grandmother was from Louisiana. Sometimes she would make plain, boiled black eyed peas which kind of tasted like someone crossed unsalted pinto beans with chalk.
Coca-Cola wins me over Pepsi any day. I know there are cheaper options, but Coke, Heinz ketchup and French's Yellow mustard will always be staples in my poor-ass life.
Why not randomly pair Lincoln with any number of brands that existed in his day? Did he have a particular liking for cookies? And, no, Keebler was not a national brand in those days. It was part of a network of bakers and the brand itself would have likely been regional at first. Lincoln was long gone before Keebler became a nationally recognized brand.
From the history I know, Tabasco was mass produced for the WW2 era. Food was bland and weak, therefore Tabasco was a easy way to make the food edible. That’s how Tabasco rally came into the mainstream, because so many vets came back to America with an appetite for Tabasco
I honestly have never thought this and I'm 33. Its pretty well known most of everything has been arounmd forever and owned by the same handful of companies

30 people care about this .... why would you waste ur time posting it just like im doin now
It’s funny to watch an old Little Rascals episode seeing the Tabasco label still looks about the same.
These were all really interesting, love the history that went along with the products, great job! BTW, the Pillsbury Doughboy's name is "Poppin Fresh" I had a plushy of him when I was young..so cute!

What was the original spelling? Is it original Tobasco instead of Tabasco?
You owe me reparations, bitch

@@btetschnerTabasco is named for the tabasco pepper, which is named for the Mexican state of Tabasco where the pepper originated. Not a family name.
