In
honor of National Frozen Foods Month: How did one resourceful
inventor find use for 270 tons of leftover Thanksgiving turkey?
Gerald Thomas, an executive with the C.A. Swanson & Sons company,
was presented with a challenge. Swanson had 10 refrigerated railroad cars, each holding more than
500,000 pounds of unsold turkey, traveling back and forth across
the country because warehouse storage space was scarce. Thomas,
inspired by the trays used for airline foods, had a revolutionary
invention idea. In 1954, the first TV dinner, featuring turkey,
corn bread dressing and gravy, buttered peas and sweet potatoes,
was created. Coasting off the growing public fascination with
television, Swanson sold an estimated 10 million dinners at a
price of 98 cents each. |
