This week, Marv is talking about retro food (instead of singing in the rain, which he probably should be doing). Wondering what we mean by retro food? Well, in short, it’s all the junk food, processed foods and fast foods you grew up with that aren’t available anymore and it makes you sad. Even though you are now a grown up with the common sense not to eat such horrible foods. But back when you had an unstoppable metabolism? Man-oh-man, were those things tasty. Unfortunately, we all grow up and develop tastes for more esoteric things, meaning that we romanticize how good these discontinued foods were, so if we have an opportunity to taste one we usually say something along the lines of “that is way too sweet.”
But of course, this is GauchoTV, and therefore it’s not just a polite chat about foods you can’t get anymore. It’s also about how and where to buy those foods that you had forgotten about. In some cases available in bulk! So when you get a gross of [fill in name of junk food here], you can not only say “that’s too sweet,” you can also lament having 143 more of that particular item.
Yes, undeniably this week’s episode is all about bringing up nostalgia then smashing those memories on the rocks of reality. Life is like that sometimes. At least we still have access to some tasty cabbage.
