1960's New Foods and Products

I loved researching the last 60's project so much that I continued my quest for 60's information and discovered Foods and Products that were introduced in the 60's.

I'm certainly aware of many of the products on the list. I remember them well and a kid. I did not know the dates that they were introduced to America. This was a trip down memory lane for me, it will be for many of my readers too.
