I vaguely remember this. I can recall making the cookies in a toaster oven. Didn't Pilsbury start selling cookie dough et-al in a tube around this time too? I recall that being a better product.

>I would love to get a look at a can, just to see the full ingredient list. I think I could learn a lot about what it might have been like if I could.

....all reverse engineered from a crashed flying saucer....

Say; wasn't it around this time that canned "pizza spread" came out as well? THAT I remember. Hard to forget something like that. Like forgetting the time your tastebuds were assailed by a horde of tiny, vicious wolverines....

Yeah, the cookie dough tube had taken off and this seemed to some sort of reaction to it. And I do believe that UFOs might have been involved. :)

The cheese in those canned pizzas and other convenience pizza attempts at the time. The worst was one with just dry grated Parmesan if I remember correctly. You would just sprinkle it on your hot sauced bread circle. Not great. I am lad that frozen pizza got halfway decent eventually.

Y'know.... I don't remember cheese, or anything resembling cheese in those canned spreads. I DO remember the texture and smell of cat food, and they'd scab over when cooked. Like processed cheese slices did.

The cookie dough was significantly more successful.

Ha! I am sure cat food smell and scabby texture is what they were going for.
