I know its meant to represent 1987 but why canned?
I was born in '87 and I distinctly recall eating a lot of canned veggies growing up. I'm sure it's what my mom grew up (in Newark, NJ) eating, and so it probably just passed on down when she was a young mother. I'm curious if canned veggies were just the rage at the time or if it was so because access to the fresh stuff wasn't as available.
I grew up with frozen vegetables, my wife grew up with canned... Just one of our many incompatibilities...
Similar experience in rural Michigan, same time period. I'm sure that's how my mom grew up as well. Fresh veggies were quite available out there, but we still got canned. My grandma wasn't a great cook, and even though my mother has a ton of fantastic skills, cooking isn't one of them.
In Europe it would have been a thing because of Tschernobyl blowing radioactivity across the land for a while.
