Did these popular foods come out in the 1970s or 1980s?

Think you remember when Nerds, Stove Top and Diet Coke were born?

The Seventies and Eighties were glorious eras for snacking. A new, novel food seemed to pop up every week — sometimes literally, in the case of microwave popcorn and Toaster Strudel. There were innovative new beverages, candies and cereals.

So, think you can remember when certain groceries were born? Here are fifteen favorites from the 1970s and '80s. Try to place in theme in the correct decade!
  1. When did McDonald's launch its Quarter Pounder hamburger?

"You got 8 out of 15. Better luck next time, captain. Guess you had to be there."
I WAS there. At least that's what my drivers' license says. Lookin' back it's still a bit fuzzy.

13 out of fifteen, I don't like Diet Coke or drink beer so those were the ones I got wrong.
