...that can gauge the chewiness of everything from beefsteak to whipped cream, automatic analyzers that can tell how much gelatin is in a batch of JellO, or what kind of protein is in a piece of meat. The laboratories produced all of the seven new products produced in 1959: butterscotch chips, caramel chips, Buffay (a fortified rice), Instant Yuban (a high-grade coffee), Horizon's Italian Casserole, frozen potato puffs, and Prime, a new dog food, which was carefully tested in the company's own kennels...
