When is National Tv Dinner Day?

Swanson's first TV Dinner consisted of a Thanksgiving dinner of turkey, cornbread dressing, peas, and sweet potatoes. Swansons made the aluminum tray. They also divided each food item into individual compartments.. The cook cooked the dinner in the oven at home. The cooking time was usually 25 minutes. Today, nearly all frozen food trays can be cooked in the microwave or a conventional oven.

They priced them at 98 cents when Swanson's first sold TV dinners. Production estimates for the first year hit 5,000 dinners in the first year. Swanson far exceeded that number, to their surprise. They sold more than ten million of them in the first year..
