For this is what the future was meant to be like according to Nadia Berenstein:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Imagine a multi-course dinner materializing from a series of aerosol canisters. Elegant canap\u00e9s crowned with gobbets of liverwurst and cheese-spread, sprayed from a can. A pair of self-heating cans deliver the main course: a cloud of fluffy mashed potatoes alongside a slurry of barbecued meat, finished off with a misting of hickory flavor &#8220;for a gourmet touch.&#8221; For dessert, how about a spray-on sundae? Ice cream, banana whip, chocolate sauce, maraschino topping\u2014just push and go.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>What happened? She explained:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Inspired by the success, after World War 2,\u00a0of whipped cream in a can, food manufacturers looked to push the boundaries of meals that could be aerosolized.<\/li>\n<li>Ideas that made it to market included: spray-on martini, spray-on barbeque sauce, spray-on coffee, and spray-on cake batter.<\/li>\n<li>Food engineers believed that such innovation would go as far as space, giving astronauts an easy way to consume a variety of foods.<\/li>\n<li>But while manufacturers loved the idea, families were less enthused about giving children food in cans that could be sprayed all over furniture.<\/li>\n<li>The marginal amount of convenience that food in spray-cans offered, also didn&#8217;t quite justify the added cost of buying gas-pressurized foods.<\/li>\n<li>And for many there was a lingering unappetizing\u00a0link between aerosol cans and hygiene products like hair sprays and deodorants.<\/li>\n<li>The final nail in the coffin for spray-on meals though, was a shift in societal preferences for more natural, less proceed foods.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Read more about some of the early engineering challenges that spray-can food manufacturers overcame, and the possibility of a spray-on renaissance in the years ahead, over <a href=\"http:\/\/luckypeach.com\/history-push-button-cuisine\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/luckypeach.com\/history-push-button-cuisine\/\">Lucky Peach<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To this day, in the aisles of supermarkets around the world, you can see in Cheese Whiz and Reddi-Whip relics of a bygone golden era of food in spray cans.
