interview with Gerry Thomas, the inventor, of the Swanson company
views of the original pewter tray
Its a pleasure being identified as the person who did this because it changed the way people live, he said in a 1999 Associated Press interview. Its part of the fabric of our society.
I really didn't invent the dinner. I innovated the tray on how it could be served, coined the name and developed some unique packaging........ If I'm the father of the TV dinner, whos the mother? I think its ludicrous.

Great invention...Just don't make a habit of eating them too often. Loaded with chemicals these days.

I miss the metal trays! Stick them in the oven and wait 15 or 20 minutes. Then peal the foil back and look out for steam. I wish that they would make them again. That would be cool. You know, you can still get Jiffy Pop in the metal pan. Pops up just like it used to. Wal-Mart has it! Expensive, but worth it. Cool stuff and good memories!
