Manly Minute – 5 Things About TV Dinners
Today is National TV Dinner Day, an obscure holiday dedicated to the chubby, little penguin on the Kid Cuisine box. (Quizzo answer: His name is K.C. Penguin.) If you can't remember past the current organic food era, TV dinners are frozen, prepackaged meals consisting of a meat, vegetable, and sometimes dessert designed to satisfy a single human being's appetite.
The term TV dinner, or more accurately "TV Brand Frozen Dinner," has been a registered trademark to C.A. Swanson & Sons since 1954. According to a 2012 report by AMG Strategic Advisors, TV dinners have entered 99% of American households over the seven decades.
