If someone mentioned Jell-O, deviled eggs, baked ham and Chicken à la King to you and then asked you what era these foods were most popular in, you’d probably guess the ’70s.

Turns out you’d be wrong by about half a century. The above foods were among the most popular in the 1920s. That’s right, a whole hundred years ago! When flappers were flapping and people were drinking bathtub gin and ladies were bobbing their hair and drawing lines up the backs of their legs.

---

Advances in refrigeration, farming, marketing and technology meant that a full century ago, people were eating in a fashion that really isn’t all that different from what we consume today.

But while the foods weren’t that different, the prep was. It’s estimated that in 1920, people spent 44 hours per week on meal preparation and cleanup. Six and a half hours a day!

Compare that to 2014 when Americans spent an average of just 37 minutes a day (roughly four and a half hours a week) on meal prep. In 2024, one imagines that number has gone down even more given the ubiquity of meal delivery apps.

Read on for some top foods of 1924 compared to 2024.

Here are 10 of the top foods in 1924 that people still love today.

Spinach dip: Popular in speakeasies, this dip made with sour cream, mayonnaise and thawed spinach was affordable, easy to make, and quietly elegant.

Deviled eggs: Now a relic of potlucks and the occasional too-hip boutique bar, these eggy treats were hugely popular in 1924 because they were easy to make, customizable, and traveled well.

Do we eat them today? Yes, but they’re certainly less popular than they once were.

Baked Ham: in 1924, alcohol would be banned for 9 more years but recipes that called for alcohol were popular, perhaps because of the scarcity. Prohibition-baked ham, which was popular at home and at speakeasies, incorporated whiskey or bourbon.

Do we eat it today? Yes, but it isn’t sought after in the same way it was.

Chicken a la King: Another dish served both at home and at restaurants, Chicken à la King involves a cream sauce over chicken and vegetables. It’s served on top of or alongside rice or pasta. Sometimes sherry or mushrooms are incorporated and sometimes tuna or turkey is used in place of chicken.

Do we eat it today? Occasionally, but it’s hardly on every menu like it once was.

Pineapple upside-down cake: Combining pineapples, cake ingredients, maraschino cherries and gravity, this delectable confection has remained one of America’s most popular desserts.

Do we eat it today? Yes, but it feels kitschy and retro.

Jell-O: In 1924 you couldn’t swing a watch chain without hitting Jell-O. It was everywhere: on dessert tables, in recipe books put out by Jell-O themselves, and even served with seafood.

Do we eat it today? Yes! And if you’ve ever found yourself at a frat party, you know a whole cottage industry has sprung up around clever ways to combine it with alcohol.

Devil’s food cake: In 1924 they deviled eggs, they deviled ham and they also deviled cake. Supposedly more sinfully indulgent (hence the “devil”) than regular chocolate cake because it’s made with chocolate squares instead of cocoa powder, this was a popular dessert.

Do we eat it today? Yes!

My family has an ongoing debate about a specific lamp in our house. We have five lamps in our living room, but one of them only gets used half as often as the others because half of the family hates the light that lamp gives off and half of us are bothered by the lack of light in that corner of the room when it’s off. Lamp on, lamp off. Lamp on, lamp off. Every night.

But there’s one thing we all agree on: We never EVER turn on “the big light.”

---

The big light is the overhead light in the center of the ceiling. If anyone ever turns on the big light, everyone else says, “Ewww! Turn it off!” It immediately evokes a visceral disgust in all of us, which is why we are tolerant of one another’s feelings about the lamp-in-dispute. We may not agree on that particular lamp’s effect, but we all fundamentally understand that lighting matters.

Apparently, we’re not the only ones.

TikTok designers Josh and Matt shared a video explaining why the big light needs to be banned, and it’s racked up a whopping 35 million views and 7.5 million likes.

“We all have big light friends who need to hear this,” reads the caption. I have never felt so seen. Watch:

@joshandmattdesign

We all have big light friends who need to hear this 🤭💡 #interiordesign #lighting #biglight

But what’s interesting is that in the comments, people’s opinions on the big light are split. Some of my fellow #TeamLamp members shared how the big light makes them feel:

“I’m physically allergic to the big light ESPECIALLY at night.”

“The big bright light gives me anxiety istg.”

“Literally me at all times I cannot stand the big light anywhere it overwhelms and irritates me @🌙.”

“I am the worst version of myself when the big light is on.”

“The big light is for when i’m cleaning my room and that’s it.”

“Big light it’s only for cleaning or looking for something important.”

“The big light feels like when they turn on the lights in the club and you’re just embarrassingly forced to go home.”

But some people are totally #TeamBigLight, eschewing the soft, ambient lighting that #TeamLamp lives for:

“Using low ambient lighting makes my brain feel like idk muddy or something, I hate it.”

“I feel like I can’t see…like I can’t wear sunglasses because if my vision is distorted in any way I get so anxious.”

“I love and exclusively use the big light. I wanna seeeee not have a bunch of different headache points 😂😂😂.”

“I need the big light on when I’m cooking or I simply cannot cook.”

“As someone who grew up with dim warm lights & dark New England winters, I like the big white lights. Makes me feel like I can actually see for once 😅.”

“Sometimes ambient lighting actually triggers my anxiety (no clue why lol) so big light just gets a warm bulb for me. I like seeing stuff clearly.”

So the big light makes some people anxious and not using the big light makes other people anxious. Huh.

That last commenter hit on something that others mentioned also. Overhead lighting is often cool (bluish-hued) lighting while lamps are warm (yellowish-hued) lighting, but you can buy warmer light bulbs to put into overhead lights to make them less harsh and hospitally. That doesn’t fix all of the big light issues, but does help reduce the “this lighting makes me feel stabby” effect.

So what does science say about all of this? Surely if people feel this strongly about something, there’s a solid reason behind it, right?

Environmental psychologist Sally Augustin, PhD, writes that lighting does impact how we feel and how we function. Warm lighting is conducive to creative work and socializing, whereas cool lighting can help us concentrate and be more productive. “Do your taxes in cool light, write poetry and hang out with friends in warmer light,” she says.

However, she also adds that putting cooler lights in overhead fixtures and warm lights in lamps mimicks how light works in nature. “Warmer light generally is found lower in the natural world, at the horizon during sunrise and sunset, for example, while the sun overhead at noon is cool light,” she writes.

That may be true, but for those of us who can’t stand the big light, there’s nothing about it that feels natural. And there’s no question that it’s unflattering. That’s even true in nature—ask any photographer if they want to take someone’s portrait outside at noon and they’ll laugh in your face.

This debate does make one wonder if #TeamLamp tends to be more creative and laid back by nature and #TeamBigLight tends to be more focused and productive, and that’s why some prefer one kind of light over the other. Or maybe it really is just about being able to see clearly or not.

At any rate, people clearly have strong feelings about this. Isn’t that fascinating? Are there any unicorns out there who don’t give any thought to lighting at all? (If so, how do you live like that?!?)

In terms of fictional universes, the John Wick world is one you definitely don’t want to mess with, considering all of the violence and hotel bills that you would inevitably have to pay. That’s not even taking into account how many suits you’d need to buy. But If you look beyond that, John Wick’s universe has enough material to expand on in the Real World. Well, maybe not the real world, but Vegas, which is a world of its own.

A new “John Wick Experience” will debut later this year in Las Vegas, and while it won’t be Keanu Reeves’ face displayed on the Sphere, it will probably still be worth doing if you are a Wick enthusiast.

The experience will feature specific missions for each group of guests which will entail “rubbing elbows with Continental staff, assassins, crime bosses, or other curious guests like themselves within the relative safety of the Continental.” Luckily, killing isn’t allowed in the Continental, or else Ian McShane will personally escort you out of the building.

This is the latest collaboration between Lionsgate and AREA15, an immersive entertainment company that also helped launch various Saw and Blair Witch escape rooms in Vegas. One could argue that every room in Vegas could be considered an escape room if you are in enough debt.

Jenefer Brown, EVP & Head of Global Products and Experiences at Lionsgate, says that bringing Wick to life inspired numerous possibilities. “One of the things I love about the John Wick franchise is the idea that there’s a whole world of alliances and vengeance hiding in plain sight – all converging within the worldwide locations of the Continental. This experience draws fans into that world like never before, and AREA15 is an ideal place for fans to live out the fantasy, action and danger portrayed in the films,” she said.

Just think about all of the other potential immersive adventures that Wick could inspire! Some ideas: “Wick’s Water World,” a water park that doubles as a fight demonstration, or “Wick’s Wags,” a dog hotel for strays. Or a real-life Continental hotel that also serves free continental breakfast!!! The ideas are all there. Now they just have to be implemented.

The Deadpool & Wolverine trailer slammed into the Super Bowl earlier this week, but fans are still poring over every tiny little detail looking for clues and Easter eggs of what to expect. As the only Marvel movie of 2024, a lot is riding on the third Deadpool film, which will not only bring the Merc with the Mouth into the MCU, but also Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine.

However, based on the trailer, the film’s leads won’t be the only characters from the Fox films to make the jump, and fans are convinced there’s a significant big baddie who’s along for the ride: Doctor Doom.

The speculation kicked into overdrive thanks to a quick shot of the figure below:

Marvel fans are convinced that the masked figure is Doctor Doom, who has yet to appear in the MCU. The character has appeared in the original Fantastic Four films for Fox as well as the ill-fated reboot 2015 reboot. Thanks to the Disney-Fox merger, Doom is now in play, and there have already been reports that he could be tapped to be the next Thanos-level threat after Jonathan Major was fired from his role of Kang the Conqueror.

Is the masked character in the Deadpool & Wolverine trailer actually Doom? We honestly don’t know. He appears to be riding on some sort of heavily modified tank, and Doom is a brilliant inventor. However, the shot also screams random henchmen, so it could go either way. That said, it would be extremely hilarious if Doom makes his MCU debut in the Deadpool movie of all places.

Of course, Doom isn’t the only wild fan theory kicking about from the new Deadpool trailer. Marvel fans are becoming increasingly convinced that two different Wolverines were shown. Before we see the shadowy claws-out reveal in the end, there’s a tuxedo-wearing version of Logan shown earlier in the trailer. Obviously, this is an homage to Wolverine’s well-known alter-ego in the comics, Patch, but fans are starting to speculate that the actor shown isn’t Hugh Jackman. Instead, it’s Daniel Radcliffe, who’s long been rumored as the potential new Wolverine for the MCU.

Radcliffe has denied that he’s taking over the role, but Marvel fans have heard denials before, so that didn’t stop them from going crazy on social media. You can see some of the reactions below:

Deadpool & Wolverine pegs into theaters on July 26, 2024.

There was a brief, beautiful moment last year when everyone on X was sharing 30 Rock clips. I can’t think of a better use of social media. Hopefully the “working on my night cheese” renaissance — and a move to a different streaming service — can help another show with Tina Fey’s name attached to it.

The third season of Girls5eva, about a 1990s girl group (played by Sara Bareilles, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Busy Philipps, and Paula Pell) reuniting in the 2020s, will premiere on Netflix after previous seasons aired on Peacock.

If you like 30 Rock or Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, you’ll enjoy Girls5Eva, which is produced by Fey and created by former Kimmy Schmidt writer Meredith Scardino. You can watch the season three trailer above.

Here’s the official season synopsis:

The members of the late ‘90s girl-group Girls5eva – Dawn, Wickie, Summer, and Gloria – have reunited and recorded a new album, Returnity, so it’s time for the next logical step: a comeback tour. With no plan, tour manager, or venues secured, the ladies pile into a van and hit the great unknown, doing their damnedest to promote their album and get back on top. In the process, Girls5eva will grapple with life on the road, see their relationships tested, play a billionaire’s birthday party, sow their oats, confront parents they believe held them back, cross paths with the biggest pop star on the planet, and question if they really want “the big time” again. Will Girls5eva fast-track their comeback and sell their tour documentary in the process? Or will the road destroy them?

Girls5eva season three premieres on Netflix on March 14th.

We finally have a release date for X-Men ’97. The hotly anticipated project is a direct follow-up to the classic X-Men: The Animated Series that hooked a whole generation of fans on the Marvel mutants.

Originally slated for 2023, the Disney+ series was delayed due to the SAG-AFTRA strike. Now, it’s on a track for a March 20 release date, which was announced in a new trailer that is absolutely brimming with nostalgic vibes.

If X-Men: The Animated Series was your go-to when it aired on Saturday mornings on Fox, you’re going to feel right at home with X-Men ’97 as Cyclops leads the iconic line-up that includes Jean Grey, Beast, Storm, Jubilee, Gambit, and Wolverine. There’s also a few new mutants along for the ride, and of course, Magneto is back to thwart the students of his old adversary Professor X.

Not much is known about the plot of X-Men ’97 except that it will pick up directly after Professor X left Earth for the Shi’ar homeworld. (The trailer makes it looks like he died. He did not.) However, it appears Magneto will take control of Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters — per Professor X’s will, no less — which is going to make things very interesting for the X-Men.

The project also marks Marvel’s plan to lean heavily into the Fox X-Men films, which were directly influenced by the animated series and its slamming theme song. The Marvels already saw the return of Kelsey Grammer’s Beast, and the Deadpool & Wolverine trailer went heavy on pushing the Fox universe into the MCU.

Earlier this week, Rolling Stone unveiled its March cover featuring Kristen Stewart declaring her desire to push the boundaries of her career by doing the “gayest f*cking thing you’ve ever seen” as she promotes her new queer thriller Loves Lie Bleeding. Right on schedule, right-wingers immediately began freaking out.

Conservatives not only began targeting Stewart for being proud of her sexuality, but they also viciously attacked the cover image by claiming the actress looked “miserable” and “disgusting” in the provocative photos that clearly triggered the weirdos on Twitter.

“‘Queer’ is an ideology, not a sexuality—and it appears to make people miserable,” Christopher Rufo tweeted. “They put dismal pictures of Ellen Page or Kristen Stewart under headlines with words like ‘joy,’ ‘family,’ ‘happiness.’ Propaganda that intends to demoralize.”

Libs of TikTok and noted anti-LGTBQ crusader Chaya Raichik called the cover “disgusting” while right-wing provocateur Ian Miles Cheong asked “What did Hollywood do to Kristen Stewart?”

As the MAGA faithful lost their minds over the cover and/or predicted that Stewart would “come out as a man,” Rolling Stone writer Miles Klee fired back:

Conservatives’ newfound fear of Stewart as a harbinger of apocalyptic gender fluidity makes about as much sense as Trump’s unnerving interest in her dating life more than a decade ago — or, for that matter, the right-wing conspiracy theories positing Taylor Swift as the key player in an NFL playoff season scripted to help reelect President Biden. But, if nothing else, raging that a famous lesbian has graced the pages of a publication you already hate for being part of the “liberal media” is one way to get through a lonely Valentine’s Day.

Love Lies Bleeding opens in theaters on March 8.
