When I was a young boy about 8 or 9 in the 1950s my family didn’t have much money. Dad was a WWII veteran still in active military and overseas for most of his career because of his MOS so my mom, sister and I had to eek by.

Anyway, at the time, mom asked me what I wanted for Thanksgiving (because we really couldn’t afford all the fixings of that traditional meal) so I told her I wanted only TWO Swanson Turkey TV dinners (the ones in the aluminum trays) and that’d be it. Thanksgiving day, that’s what I got and felt happy.

Only, it seems now that here I am decades later at 73 and am back to the same options minus the aluminum trays. :0)

Funny, that.
