I use Cool Whip a good bit.

My daughter and husband will want Spaghetti-Os with “meat”balls from time to time.

I also usually keep some concentrated OJ in the freezer.

We have Vienna sausage, tang, and spam.

Chef boyardee went organic a while back and the kid likes the lasagna flavor.

Bought the tang for him when he was sick as he couldn't taste anything. Honestly... It's pretty good if you use about 20% of the amount they say to

Cool Whip is the only one.

I still buy cool whip every once in a while if a recipe calls for it. Only buy vienna sausage during hunting season and I may have scared off a few deer with that stench. I grew up in the 80's and I cant remember anyone ever making that green jello fruit mold wreath with the miracle whip. I'm sure if anyone ever brought that to a family function they would be disowned.

My wife bought Miracle Whip because she doesn't really eat much mayo and didn't know there was a difference. I use it instead of mayo on a fried egg and bacon sandwich. My dad's family used Miracle Whip growing up and the fried egg sandwich is the only instance where I prefer it over mayo.

I have eaten or recognize all of those with the exception of the meat in the can. Not Spam. What is it?
Potted meat.



Not Spam, not canned ham. It was a spreadable "meat" made from meat by-products.

You didn't miss anything.

I love them and still do, but my mom can’t stomach even the smell. I’ve never really met anyone in the middle on them.

I don't know why they call it Hamburger Helper, it works perfectly fine by itself.

None.

Pretty sure I consumed plenty of most of those (although, a different brand of potted meat [Underwood]).

Lots of Parkay growing up.

Grew up on Miracle Whip. It’s the only one I still keep in the fridge.

Only time I ate mayonnaise was at the grandparents house.
