10 Foods from the 99¢ Only Store That Are Way Ahead of the Curve on That Whole “Retro Package Design” Thing

These Jim Dandy Quick Grits Look Like They’re From… the 1970s.
Proof of Its Modernity: Microwave directions on back.
Where You’d Expect to See It: Kissed by Polly Holliday in a full-page ad in the November 1978 issue of “Good Housekeeping.”
Buy It Because: These grits cook up in 5 minutes. They’re ready before you know it.
• You know, I’ve never had grits, quick or otherwise. But seeing as these cook in 5 minutes, and I now own these, I’ll have to try them. I have no idea what grits are, but I’ll have to try them. If only for the wonderful seventies look to the packaging.

Well, that’s it for now. Wasn’t that wonderful, though? You bet it was! You’ll come back for the next set of ten, won’t you? Because they’re even better. And then, the batch after that…? Hell, they’re the very best of all! Awright then, on your way.
