Especially the spongy white bread of the 1950s! Perfect for those peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

The bread of my childhood, and how we loved it, and didn't know anything else!

True, white and squishy was the only bread for middle class kids. It wasn't until the 1970s that supermarkets started having whole wheat and seeds and oats and pine needles and grass clippings in the bread. ;-b

Our most popular brand was Wonder Bread. You're too young to know about the waxed paper wrapper. Plastic was a brilliant innovation! It could stay squishy much longer!

This is from a time when quality really still was quality.
Nowadays quality is hard to find, unless you pay a wickedly expensive price.

Well, American (and British) food in the 1950s was rather bizarre. I wouldn't call some of it "quality." An American favorite was the variety of Jell-O salads and many other Kraft creations...

jello salad
Eeek!

Also, canned fruits and vegetables were extremely popular and we had them at every meal.

Yes, canned food was quite popular here too. I guess it was because it was "en vogue" at that time. Because there were other opportunities to store food; like freezer and sterilization (vegetables, fruits) for instance.
