Nasty foods are an excellent addition to the list of things baby boomers are blamed for. Due to the “boom” of babies after WWII, American moms chose inexpensive, frozen, and ready-to-cook meals. Pre-packaged meals became a thing. At that time, eating healthy was impossible as everyone is going for delicious cuisines like SPAM and fruitcake. As boomers age, the cuisines they grew up with are losing favor. Boomers might think that the only foods worthy of consideration are those meals that remind them of their childhood. Unfortunately, their judgment has stagnated since the war, and we’ve developed a list of the 50 grossest foods that only baby boomers eat. Despite nostalgic attachment, admitting that you’re mistaken is difficult. There are many reasons why these meals aren’t the Millennial staple. Here’s why…
Ambrosia
Ambrosia barely meets the requirements to be considered a “salad.” The meal, after a night in the freezer, has a sloppy texture. It is frequently seen among the side dishes on Thanksgiving and Christmas, but seldom does it get attention as a dessert. The moniker “gourmet’s delight” fits this delicate nineteenth-century dish because of its impressive components. Marshmallows brought ambrosia (the gods’ nectar) to the holiday feast scene in the 1920s. Unfortunately, today’s components are more harmful than luxurious, detracting from millennial health consciousness.

Fruit Cake
An iconic fruitcake has been the butt of jokes since the ‘60s when Johnny Carson said it was “the worst Christmas gift.” To serve as the foundation for the next point, Carson popularized the assumption that fruit cake tasted disgusting. Most people have never really had the rich spice cake loaded with fruits and nuts, so they have no idea if it’s any good. Nonetheless, dessert’s calorie and fat content more than outweigh any health advantages, making it unfashionable.
