No One Remembers These Vintage Canned Foods Anymore

Franco-American Macaroni
Franco-American Macaroni and Cheese was a popular product that existed from the mid-1950s until the early 2000s.
It boasted a barrage of thick spaghetti-like noodles in a colorful and viscous cheese sauce. There have been many attempts at copying the cult favorite's recipe.
Monarch Alaska King Crab
Prominent during the 1930s, Monarch Alaska King Crab was labeled as "fancy" and surprisingly packed quite a bit of quality meat.
Although there are still plenty of canned crab brands available today, Monarch is no longer among them, perhaps because of the difficulty of sourcing such seafood at the time.
Peanut Patch Boiled Peanuts
Peanut Patch Boiled Peanuts are a canned version of boiled peanuts, a staple snack of the U.S. South. You could easily pop it open and enjoy the treat.
Under the umbrella of family-owned company McCall Farms, Peanut Patch Boiled Peanuts are still available. However, many people outside the South are unaware of the snack.
