The Food That Built America

I knew the reputation of the History channel and all their strange documentaries so I would never had watched this.

However, my wife chose it so I started watching under protest and expecting that she'll give up after ten minutes because of the bad quality.

Well, she got disinterested quick enough but I got hooked in that same interval!

I watched the full series in one sitting and even my wife got interested again after I caught her up on the famous people and companies.

It was very interesting, well acted and narrated and the reenactments were of such quality that you could have fooled me into believing it was a normal TV series!

The narrator of this very entertaining story is Campbell Scott, he is one if not the best at telling stories, love all the background stories on the major characters, a well deserved 10

Stunned my co-workers with all my "knowledge." Learn how Hershey, Kellogg, Post, McDonalds, and Heinz became household brands.

I started watching it when I got covid in mid June 2021 and immediately like it. It talks about all of the foods that Americans grew up with from Hersheys, KFC, Lays. Among many many others. It gives people a good insight about the foods they grew up eating as a kid. It's in a great format that keeps the viewer interested to learn about the investors of the foods and why the food was made and the time period and the conflict between the rival of the company. It makes you feel that you're in the time period that there mentioning. Great job history channel keep of the good work can't wait to see new episodes.

If you were less than enthused in history class but love pop culture, this is the show that will turn you into a history buff. And it's genuinely fascinating for true history buffs, Americana fans, foodies, and big business fanatics -
