In 1953, C.A. Swanson & Sons introduced a new product
called, “TV Dinners,” and changed the prepackaged meal industry forever.
The Smithsonian Institute inducted the original Swanson TV Dinner tray
into the Museum of American History in 1986. Today we celebrate this
piece of American cultural history with TV Dinner Day!
The term “TV Dinner” is now synonymous with any prepackaged, frozen
meal that requires little preparation and contains an entire
single-serving meal. Modern-day TV dinners can be cooked in the
microwave (instead of the oven) and include gourmet recipes as well as
organic and vegetarian dishes.
Want to celebrate TV Dinner Day? Stop by your local supermarket and pick up some old-fashioned TV dinners for your family!
