My foggy memory seems to remember sliced beef in gravy and sliced turkey in gravy that came frozen in plastic pouches. Boil the pouch, cut open and serve over bread or toast for a hot open faced sammich. Sirloin Tips! |

Yes, but all the other stuff still applied. At least at our Pizza Hut. That was a night out. I used to wear those Pac-Man machines OUT. I made the papers around here a few times for having high scores all over town. 1 joint in Crawfordsville, IN told me not to come back anymore after I won their $100 tourney for the 8th time.

Born in '68. I loved the t.v. dinners with the apple cobbler or the chocolate brownie in them. Spaghetti-O's were "fast food". Fish sticks in the oven. Kraft Mac-n-cheese, at some point. I remember our first microwave; I think it was before my parents divorced, so say around 1977. Big fucking brown (Amana?) thing with a dial and two buttons - On and Off. |

We had the one machine, so you had to know the etiquette or else the other kids would get mad. Just because you had a pocketful of change doesn't mean you get to stay on the machine. |

They were even rather expensive in the early 80's. It was a very big deal when we got one, and an even bigger deal when I killed it by microwaving a metal pot for ten minutes trying to melt chocolate.

LOL I used to play 1 quarter till I just got tired of playing. (when conditions allowed, I wasn't an asshole and had a game at my local bar where I could practice all I wanted. The bar owner used to back me in tournaments for half the money) It was funny though, I'd be way up there and a crowd had gathered to watch. I'd just park him and go piss. Come back and look around and ask if anybody wanted to take it, go ahead. They'd last about .87 seconds and everybody'd laugh. I actually made a decent amount of money playing Pac-Man. Good times.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
We didn't get ours until the mid-80s and even then they weren't everywhere. I think we got our first one in 1987. My grandparents didn't get theirs until 1993 or so and my grandfather promptly almost burned the house down by sticking hotdogs in a metal pot in there and turning the timer to 20 minutes. Grandma had neglected to make him lunch before she went into town.

Salami! There was a locally made beer salami in the Detroit area I loved, made by Kowalski, I think. Forget about putting in a sammich. I'd just roll up slices and eat it, washed down with Faygo Rock & Rye.
