What people were drinking when they were eating these dishes, though, feels a bit less vivid. Like us today, they'd often be consuming canned drinks. Which canned drinks were most popular during the 1970s? The likes of Mr. Pibb, Mello Yello, and V8 are still very much available, although they're far less popular than they used to be. Others, though, like Aspen, Rondo, and Quirst, have gone to the great canned drinks graveyard, never to be revived again.
