Today, September 10th, is ‘National TV Dinner Day'! As a kid I remember liking them. Maybe it had to do with the separate compartments for the different foods.
On this day in 1953, 60 years ago, Swanson sold their first TV dinner. I very seldom buy or eat them because I can't figure out how to microwave them so they are edible. For the three or four dollars I'd rather have Hot Pockets or few items off the dollar menu at the drive thru in a pinch.
