About This Quiz

The baby boomer generation may be known for the Apple II computer, the nanoscale motor and the universal serial bus port, but the people behind these inventions had to eat, too. And do you know what kinds of dishes they indulged in for dinner? Here's a hint: it wasn't cloud eggs, poke bowls or rainbow grilled cheese sandwiches.

We're talking about tasty recipes like boiled brussels sprouts, ham salad and glazed carrots. Back in the day, the food industry placed a heavy emphasis on convenience, especially with the rise of packaged and processed foods. From canned soup and chili to pinto beans and mushrooms, baby boomers could utilize these types of foods in an affordable and easy way. You could even eat some canned chicken and dumplings as a meal if you wanted to! When dining out, many baby boomers also tend to choose comforting and familiar dishes that aren't too adventurous. Some of these meals include beef dishes, seafood, fried chicken and pasta (especially spaghetti and meatballs). So while you may be aware of many of these types of foods, this old-fashioned quiz is about to explore the tastes of the baby boomer generation! (Don't worry, you can bring your unicorn frappuccino along, too)!
