1950s was not a TV dinner and diet coke. Or even a diet drink. Diet Coke came out in the 1980s, the first diet cola was 1958, a Diet Rite and was not popular at all. While the TV Dinner achieved some popularity in the 1950s, it was not until the 1960s when TV Dinners became more of a staple for lower class homes due to TVs finally being in the majority of homes and more people seeing they even exist.
@@callyannbrennan9624you would love Southern food. From fried pies to dressing to fried catfish to sweet potato casserole to fried chicken to so much more. The things I’ve found difficult to adapt to, having grown up in a family from Oregon of Irish descent, are purple hull peas, turnip greens, cornbread with buttermilk poured over it, butter beans, and probably a few more I can’t think of now.
The sheer unbridled enthusiasm and child-like joy that Callyann exudes in this video is unparalleled and so heart warming. If people could bottle that happiness and carry it around with them, there would be no wars 😊
TV dinners originally came in an aluminum tray with separate compartments for each "course". They were heated in a regular oven. I won't say they were terrible, but they weren't good. Even with compartments, things tended to get mixed together. And while microwave ovens were available for home use in the late 1960, they weren't really common until the 1970s, when the price point dropped below $500.
Also, the first diet soda - Diet Rite cola - wasn't available nationally until 1962 (and it contained different artificial sweeteners than those used today).
I have something you need to try, especially Callyann, since she loved the PB&J and the Oreos and marshmallow fluff so much. I wouldn't know what decade it would fit in, but a sandwich called a Fluffernutter. It's a peanut butter and marshmallow fluff sandwich. I'd be willing to bet Callyann would lose her mind over it. Love the videos. Love all the Tryers. Take Care and Stay Safe.
P,B, and J sandwiches are good. Peanut butter and banana sandwiches are good too. But the pinnacle of peanut butter sandwiches has to be the Fluffernutter sandwich. Utter joy in a sandwich!
I'm sure most of the food from the 1910s youve never heard of, unless you're over 100. Most people don't even know that Oreos are the generic brand and complete rippoff of a famous cookie at the time
The TV Dinners from my day came on a four-section, stamped, very thin aluminum tray with VERY thin foil on the top- they were frozen to Absolute Zero and took an hour to cook...in one of those old 'oven' thingies.
"That's a spicy meatball!" in an almost Italian-ish accent = Pretty amazing that a catchphrase from an American 1969 Alka Seltzer commercial is still referenced at all, anywhere, let alone Ireland!
(Old) American here - never ever heard of Oreos and floof. Hmmm I shall try it soon. …in the interest of science, obviously. I was alive during the moon landing (July ‘69) AND for TV dinners. They used to come in crimped aluminum trays and we only got them on nights when our parents went out and we had a babysitter. And they had to BAKE in an OVEN and that took like an HOUR! Damn I’m old AF. Also, Diet Coke wasn’t around in the 50s. It took a while - maybe early 80s? The only diet sodas that I recall from the 70s were TAB and Fresca. Then Diet Pepsi happened - before Diet Coke!
Tab.... I had forgotten about that. I also remember those TV dinner trays. It was a treat when we got those. Didn't they used to be "good"? I think every one of them had peas and carrots 🤣. Penny candy...cream cycles that were delicious back then. I'm old😮
Diet Coke wasn't introduced until 1982. The 1960s were really the first decade of diet sodas. Although Diet Rite was the first diet soda in 1958, it didn't go into mainstream distribution until 1962. Diet Pepsi, Tab, and Diet Dr Pepper were also introduced in the 1960s.
A lot of American meatball and meatloaf recipes from the 1930s and 1940s had *quite a bit* of saltine crackers or stale bread mixed into them to really stretch the 'meat' out to several meals. Some of that was a holdover from the Great Depression (America kind of segued right from the Depression to the war). There were a lot of "cheat pies" and other recipes already around. Many didn't survive, but meatballs and meatloaf really stuck around.
My Grandmother would not make meatloaf, because she ate so much of it during the Depression. She said depending on how things were going, it was often more oatmeal than hamburger.
Said it before, always amazed at how positive Cally is... she's the kind of gal that has fun whether she's opening a gift or washing the dishes. Props to her!
Callyann's excitement for PB&J had me smiling, I love PB&J its a staple of my childhood here in the U.S. Ive never had Oreos and Fluff but you can always swap out the Jelly in the PB&J for a PB&F which is also delicious. Way to go Collin on his Tonight Show knowledge Jack Paar took over as host on The Tonight Show in the late 50's. Thanks for another great video
Just as i am watching the old Try bloopers (more of them please!!!) This pops up.. It sure is a TRYing evening for me tonight. :) (And thats a very good thing)
I loved how excited Callyann was to try PB&J. I'm glad she and Laura enjoyed it so much. I've never heard of Fluff with Oreos. Fluff was for making "Fluffernutter" sandwiches - peanut butter with fluff instead of jelly. Loved those as a kid, but way too sweet for me now. I'm sure Dermot will be glad he didn't have to TRY that. TV dinners used to come in a metal tray and had to be baked in the oven. They weren't bad - as a kid I always like the ones that came with a brownie for dessert. Unfortunately in 1979 when Happy Meals came out I was 19 so I missed that experience.
Ciara playing with the Oreos and Fluff reminded me that we have an advent calendar episode coming up and there is not much more I am looking forward to.. lol
This is for people who don't already live on the coast.... You know how as a kid a trip to the seaside was exciting and brilliant but at the end of the day you just wanted to sleep for a thousand years? Callyann is that concept personified; I can imagine a day around her being exhilarating, hilarious and utterly exhausting in the absolute best possible way.
I loved watching Callyann lose her mind over some of these treats lol. And I'm so glad most of you (sorry Dermot) liked the PB&J! It's definitely a very American thing, so I understand if people don't like it, but I'm always glad when they do, because it's like my whole childhood.
I'd love to see the expression on Dermott's face when someone tells him about a Fluffernutter. Which if you are unaware is a sandwich if peanut butter and marshmallow fluff. It's also the state sandwich of Massachusetts.
Several years ago on FACTS (precursor to TRY) they featured PB&J one of them said some things that infuriated the comments section. After scrolling through 'em for a bit I found two that were about the sandwich. One person typed in all caps about how much they loved it after trying it for the first time, the other said that they hadn't ever considered putting the two things together in a sandwich before. After visiting their local market they tried and enjoyed it. Cally, probs loved it even more.
Y'all should do the gelatin years.... There were some....ummm.... interesting food combinations encased in a jiggly cold shape. Nightmares. My grandmother once made a dinner of boiled hot dogs cut up and suspended inside hot dog water and beef broth flavored gelatin. Served cold with a tomato paste sauce. So much nope in that dish. But if you are going to do impactful meals, gelatin recipes impacted an entire generation. So much trauma lol
I'm old. I grew up on PB&J sandwiches, and later on in life I graduated to PB, Banana and Marshmallow Fluff sandiches. Still one of my favorite snacks.
Prayers going out to all of Dublin during the ugliness going on right now. Hope all of Try Channel friends are safe and snug at home, far away from the violence!
Loved it. Callyann definitely gives me a 70's girl vibe. I can totally picture her wearing flared jeans and a tie-dyed top dancing disco! She's always so excited and at 1:42, her voice almost got to a "dog hearing only" pitch. 🤣
As a 37 year old lady, I still make myself for lunch to take to work, peanut butter, and jelly sandwiches!! One of my favorites and it has to be the combination butter and jelly!!
Between the PB&J and Oreos, thought Callyanne was going to have the big "O". With PB&J you need to have the correct ratio between the PB and the Jelly, which varies by person to person. If you only knew that Oreos was just lard and sugar, would you still eat them? I say a resounding YES! Great reaction y'all.
@@izzymhee2430 Okay that makes more sense lol I’ve never coasters be called masks before and I swore it sounded even on repeat like they both said masks 🤣🤣🤣 Here I am thinking of some Mardi Gras mask lol
Seeing the lovely Ciara actually eat and enjoy a dish was a pleasure. I can see why she didn't fancy the shite that came before the meatballs gets a thumbs up. Watching Callyann actually understand the history part of this video was hilarious, and Laura was laughing too. I love these videos and this crew.
Because of rationing in WW2 , MacN cheese box dinner was invented and quickly became a top seller. I would've chose that as the American food of the 1940s
Yeah sometimes I wish they weren't America-centric and show this type of video of other countries. As an American, I'd love to learn about what the Irish ate besides potatoes. They're surrounded by so many great food countries. But I get it, those wouldn't bring in the views from Americans
Cally's energy scares me sometimes. Like, I feel like it's possible that one day she'll just make this excited, high-pitched noise and then explode. And then the next TRY video can be Cally Bits.
I had more than a few TV dinners back when I was young, and I can assure you, the portions were much smaller than the ones you had. The original TV dinners had very small servings, and were incredibly inexpensive.
@@willowsverge3046 Grainy mashed potatoes made strictly with water, no milk or butter. Brownie a bit raw in the middle. Salisbury steak with painted on grill marks and watery salt gravy. I did some service work on the Salisbury steak cooker in a major food producer making these back in the 80's. They were actually hand packing the tray segments--several women who all looked like "Lunch Lady Doris" from the Simpsons and all seemed to be jonesing for a smoke or twelve. They did NOT appear to be enjoying their jobs. Scoop and plop. Scoop and plop.
Dermot, if it's any consolation the PBJ is a poor kid's lunch and all it really provided was protein and a sugar boost for kids who needed to get through the day. You're the best, buddy.
Surprised they went for Oreos & Marshmallow Fluff (a combo I've never heard of before) to represent the 1910s instead of torturing Dermot with 1918's fluffernutter sandwich. :) edit: Man, those TV dinners are posh and huge The ones we had when I was a kid in the {redacted} were in cheap foil that was less than half as deep as those ones and with heavily-processed sliced meats (the same type you could also get in boil-in-bag versions), watery mashed potatos, tiny wrinkled peas or sliced green beans, and maybe some rounds from the cheapest, skinniest carrots. :P
I really think marshmallow fluff is probably harder to get hold of here in Arkansas than in Ireland. Literally, I have no idea where to buy it - neither of the grocery stores local to me carry it.
I think it may be a regional thing, too. I grew up around Buffalo, NY and even when I go back and visit, I can find it. However, here in Savannah, GA I can’t find it. I end up using the Jet Puffed version
I respect that you acknowledge it's just hard to find near you and not that it doesn't exist in the US. Tired of the Americans commenting that since they've never seen it personally that it's just not a thing anywhere in the US. Local, regional, and national foods exist.
All right, this American just wants you to give Dermot any beer, ale, or STOUT of his choice every time he's on the panel to eat peanut butter (which, of course, I love).

You need to have a glass of milk with peanut butter and jelly
I have never heard of fluffing Oreos
The meatballs need some garlic bread when green beans

Can you imagine how pleased Colin must have been when Dermot agreed to fill in on this shoot. Sometimes, things just work out.
Needed George to complete the duo
Paddy saying defiantly 'You're not my mom, you can't tell me what to do!' absolutely sent me.
He won't get a Happy meal if he continues that type of behavior. LOL
One could tell he surely used to say that often
For me it was Dermott saying how I love putting caulk in my mouth 😂
He acts like a kid, he speaks like a kid, so probably he needs someone to tell him what to do
Callyann is always so bubbly and happy Dermots face with the peanut butter jelly sandwich was priceless
Dermot is a weak beta male.. I'm sure he crys often..
That's because they gave that man peanut butter...
I think dogs came running she squealed such a high note!! Or she may even have called bats!! lol
the juxtaposition between dermott and callyann is hilarious
Dermott: how can someone put this in their body
Callyann: LIKE THISSSS
callyann actually speaks in capslock.
And also in dog whistle.
🐕🐩
I think Colin would like it more if he employed milk.
Have the two of them ever been put together? Imagine!!!
at yet he happily shoved McDonalds down his face, acknowledging that he wasn't sure it was actual meat lol
The sheer unbridled enthusiasm and child-like joy that Callyann exudes in this video is unparalleled and so heart warming. If people could bottle that happiness and carry it around with them, there would be no wars 😊
Well said
I only wish that I could be excited for anything as Callyann is excited for everything.
I think she just loves anything American. She calls herself a fake American
Except mochi. She was not excited for mochi.
I'm not gonna say it, but it rhymes with "hugs" and "bugs". It can manipulate your brain into such excitement.

And diet soda before the 80s was horrid. The original tv dinner was Swanson turkey dinner.
@@ovrezydiet soda was SO gross!
And the TV dinner apple.cobbler always bubbled over onto your peas and carrots
I considered myself a gourmet cook, knowing the exact oven temperature and amount of time to cook every dinner.

Fluff and oreo? Never heard of it. PB and Fluff sandwiches, yes!
Or just fluff sandwiches!
that would be a fluffer nutter sandwich

My goodness simp.. Slow your roll
Thank you!!!
Take no notice of jackhammer. I feel the same as you. CallyAnn is absolute joy to watch.
Callyann makes me happy. She's just joy personified.
Love Laura's comment at 6:55 about Callyann just realizing the historical significance of the food!
I love how the oldest guy in the shoot is the first one to ask for the toy !! 🤣🤣

Also, dandelion salad
Poorman's Meal (hot dog and potatoes)
Water pie
The way that Callyann talked about her “awe” each time. She doesn’t hate Laura or have enmity and just wants to enjoy the time together🫠🫠
(Old) American here - never ever heard of Oreos and floof. Hmmm
I shall try it soon. …in the interest of science, obviously.

@@willowsverge3046 Grainy mashed potatoes made strictly with water, no milk or butter. Brownie a bit raw in the middle. Salisbury steak with painted on grill marks and watery salt gravy. I did some service work on the Salisbury steak cooker in a major food producer making these back in the 80's. They were actually hand packing the tray segments--several women who all looked like "Lunch Lady Doris" from the Simpsons and all seemed to be jonesing for a smoke or twelve. They did NOT appear to be enjoying their jobs. Scoop and plop. Scoop and plop.
Apple.cobbler!
I love that others mentioned the Salisbury steak, mashies, often corn and a brownie. Oh the memories.
The reaction for the Happy Meal and the toy is hilarious :'D We never grow up really...
So glad I can be this guy for the first time. 1950s TV Dinner and a Diet Coke. Diet Coke was not made until 1980s.
And the first diet soda - Diet Rite cola - wasn't available nationally until 1962.
Diet soda wasn't really a thing until the early '60s when Diet Rite and Tab came out.
We need an entire episode of Callyann doing an American accent please!
She nailed all my cousins, perfectly. lol!
That must’ve taken a while!
Budumpump tshhh 🥁
Dremott! Big Trouble in Little China! Love it.
Dermot, if it's any consolation the PBJ is a poor kid's lunch and all it really provided was protein and a sugar boost for kids who needed to get through the day. You're the best, buddy.
PB&J isn’t just for poor kids. It crosses all economic classes.
Just came here to say Dermott was the inspiration for my son's middle name.
Surprised they went for Oreos & Marshmallow Fluff (a combo I've never heard of before) to represent the 1910s instead of torturing Dermot with 1918's fluffernutter sandwich. :)
edit: Man, those TV dinners are posh and huge The ones we had when I was a kid in the {redacted} were in cheap foil that was less than half as deep as those ones and with heavily-processed sliced meats (the same type you could also get in boil-in-bag versions), watery mashed potatos, tiny wrinkled peas or sliced green beans, and maybe some rounds from the cheapest, skinniest carrots. :P
But
..but...the apple cobbler!
@@LindaC616 Ah! You're thinking of the TV dinners that rich families got. :P
It was the brownie for me- or the apple cranberry stuff that came with the turkey tv dinners. Also, does anyone remember the ZZ Top song, TV Dinners?
@@ogrejd lol, not at all...Banquet
OMG, when Dermot sounds like Adam Sandler at 11:54😂😂
You should give Dermot almond butter and jelly instead of peanut butter. I believe he would like that better. 😊
ooo or suflower butter
Have to have them try PB and Fluff.
Colin looks all thugY with that hoodie.
Peanut butter, jelly, peanut butter jelly time.
What a great episode hahah so hilarious 😂
I really think marshmallow fluff is probably harder to get hold of here in Arkansas than in Ireland. Literally, I have no idea where to buy it - neither of the grocery stores local to me carry it.
I live in NW Arkansas, the foodie capitol of the region... and I haven't seen it either.
It's made in Massachusetts. It might not be nationally distributed
I think it may be a regional thing, too. I grew up around Buffalo, NY and even when I go back and visit, I can find it. However, here in Savannah, GA I can’t find it. I end up using the Jet Puffed version
I respect that you acknowledge it's just hard to find near you and not that it doesn't exist in the US. Tired of the Americans commenting that since they've never seen it personally that it's just not a thing anywhere in the US. Local, regional, and national foods exist.
Aldi, dollar tree, dollar general
Proof that you're never too old to get excited by the prospect of a new toy! It's just lovely.
Ciara saying she used to like the plastic toys she could chew them 🤣🤣🤣
“That’s probably why they got rid of them” 🤣🤣🤣
“The moon was landing…”
The winner of the day 🤣🤣
I actually do cook every night just for myself. I feel like such a weirdo. 😂
I do the same
Callyann with the PB&j was awesome. Peace/JT
All right, this American just wants you to give Dermot any beer, ale, or STOUT of his choice every time he's on the panel to eat peanut butter (which, of course, I love).
Loved Dermott's idea of fondue, that would be a great video to watch on it's own!!
Callyann’s reaction to the PB&J would be an _amazing_ metal riff
Paddy with the It's a spicy meatball. Thank you for that
