Click bait, sure, but Leona's posts are food related! It's funny how
these articles try to categorize things so specifically.

Who did they interview to figure out what desserts most people were
eating in a particular year? Did they take a survey and extrapolate the
results? Who did they talk to? What were the demographics?

That Rice Cream (a Swedish Rice Ring) from your birth year was not
something I ever heard of, either. Apparently it was popular in
Minnesota. Okay, cold climate and Swedish or Danes.

The Lane Cake is allegedly southern. I wasn't born in the south
(Southern California doesn't count). Even having lived in the "south"
for decades I've never run across it.

I fully expected the dessert in the year I was born to involve Jell-O.
