...y'all didn't grow up eating kraft mac n hot dogs cut up in it?
o.o
Sorry, but this is like one of the many litmus tests for people who think they grew up in the middle class and then actually find out they grew up poorer than they initially thought.
Another good one was having canned mixed vegetables more than a couple times a week.
I really disagree with this. My parents grew up in the 50s and just thought this kind of highly processed food was normal and easy. There were also commercials that constantly reminded them to buy it. We could 100% afford better food, this is just what they wanted 🤢
It could still be very much middle class. Parents make it out of nostalgia from when they were kids, instead of making it out of necessity.
You're overlooking an important detail - kids love that cheap, shitty food. It was also quick and easy to make, so their tired, overworked parents were easily persuaded to make it.
Naturally there's a line where it becomes too much, but even rich kids love hot dogs and Mac & cheese.
If your parents are tired and overworked, you're probably also not as middle class as you think...
Ours had a can of tuna and some frozen peas in it.
No way we did that too! I still do it every once in awhile, not because it's that good but fit the nostalgia
That's what we had tonight! Well, I had sliced turkey because it needed eating and my partner had canned chicken. I rather like Mac and cheese with peas.
