Trivia: What was the entree in the first-ever Swanson TV dinner?
Chicken pot pie
Turkey with stuffing
Beef stroganoff
Mini corn dogs
The correct answer is Turkey with stuffing
So why is this answer correct? : Although the technology to make prepackaged meals was invented in the 1920s, it wasn’t until the Swanson food company had a massive overstock of post-Thanksgiving turkeys that the idea got put to use in earnest. The first-ever Swanson TV dinner featured a turkey slab with cornbread stuffing, mashed potatoes, and veggies — all for the bargain price of $0.69.
