TV Dinners
Manage episode 299779493 series 2952966
For the premiere of Thyme to Chat, we talk about our personal, and societal relationship to TV dinners. What technology needed to be in place in order for this to become a cultural phenomenon? Would our modern working life even be possible without frozen foods? Why does Kamea own a microwave?
Hosts Rose and Kamea pour some wine to celebrate their launch, share what they learned about the history of TV dinners, and go down several personal tangents.

Show Notes
Freezer Sizes:
The article mentioned in the show about freezer sizes, was actually about the evolution of refrigerator technology from the 1920s to modern day. Notice how the freezer size spiked in the 60s? We needed the room for TV dinners!
Swanson TV Dinner Commercial:
We were speechless watching this original Swanson TV Dinner commercial. What lucky husbands and relieved wives.
Vitameatavegamin:
She was quoting this scene from I Love Lucy. I get it it now.
History of the TV Dinner:
For our nerds that want to read the full article mentioned in the show. Worth the read, especially if you're interested in the progression of frozen foods as a product.
Marriage Bar:
There is so much to learn about women's working rights in the United Sates and beyond. This article provides a good, non-academic, overview on the marriage bars during the depression.
