I started eating sloppy joes at our school cafeteria when I was about
6-7, back in the 50s (vague enough? . This was back when lunch was
a quarter and milk an additional nickel. Anyway.... it's originally
from Hunt's Foods. I suspect Hunt's was making this exact same canned
sauce back when I was a kid, only in #10 cans, cuz it tastes exactly
the same to me.

I did eat some sloppy joe's, homemade by a friends wife, that were
different, yet very good. It had whole corn kernels and bits of onion
and grn ppr. Very tasty, to say the least. SJs really are open to
huge variation. I always put, at the very least!, fresh onions in my
Manwich SJs. Otherwise, that canned goodness in close to perfection,
IMO.
