Historical Velvetta

When we were straightening up at the cabin this Fall, our daughter found this empty Velvetta box holding some extra silverware....you can see the bottom box there is from 1982. It's interesting how the packaging has changed in nearly 30 years...In a way, it's kind of remarkable how little it has changed....The price of course has changed, the top box from now is priced $5.99...it doesn't show in the picture, but the one from 1982 has a price tag from our local grocery store of $4.43. Another thing I noticed is that it's still a two pound box...other things have gone to smaller amounts in their packages....like sugar was always in a five pound bag and now it's a four pound bag..Some ice cream has gone from a half gallon pkg to 1.75qt...etc........

Sooo I think I will just take this box back down to the cabin and put it in the back of a cabinet!
It might be fun to stumble across this again in a few years!
