I Hate Green Beans

Posted By
Greybeard, USA, I Hate Green Beans
I remember a frozen food product marketed to help Parents of picky eaters eat vegetables...They were called I Hate Green Beans, Corn, Beets and Peas. They were french fry type food I think made from those vegetables.

Does anyone else remember these or am I the only one

I totally remember my mom buying these for my picky brothers. They actually tasted pretty good. I have also never been able to find anyone else who remembers them. I am now the mom of a picky eater and wish they still existed. I can not even find a mention of them anywhere or what company made them. Can anyone help????

I remember too, They wee advertised as french fries with the nutritional value of hated veggies. I wanted mom to buy them but she didn't. I remember from the commercial there was I hate peas, I hate carrots and I hate corn. As I kid I loved corn kinda like carrots and hated peas, except for the dried kind used for soup - the whole, not split- go figure.
any how i remember the theme song from 30+ years ago:

"I hate saying my ABC's , I hate washing my elbows and my knees, I hate saying thank you and please, but most of all I hate peas!"
At the end of the commercial a little kid said "But I still hate broccoli!"

Even more scary, I think I can actually CORRECT the lyrics that you have!! It actually went "I hate saying my ABCs, I hate washing my elbows and my knees, I hate saying thank you and please, but MORE THAN ANYTHING, I hate peas!"

My mom bought us the peas and the carrot ones - they were HORRIBLE!! Even dipping them in my at-the-time-favorite - ketchup - didn't help...

I remember them, too. According to CNN.COM/Food Failures, They were made by American Kitchen Foods,Inc in the '70's. We tried the "I Hate Carrots" even though I really ate my veggies as a kid. I was just curious as to how they tasted. I seem to remember they weren't that bad. I even remembered the commercial with the kid saying,"I still hate brocolli." to which the voice-over guy says," We're working on it."
