I loved Carnation chicken Spreadables. It was light and fluffy. I
think the sweet flavor came from capers, but I can not be sure. It was a little expensive at $1.79 in 1972, but very good quality.

When we were kids in the 70’s this was a treat for us. Mom didn’t work and there were 4 of us kids home from school in the Summer. A special lunch was to walk to the store (just “up the field”) and buy a pack of Spreadables, a 2 liter coke, a bag of Munchos, and a box of “Ho Ho’s”. LOL. We LOVED days like that. We didn’t have a lot growing up but we had a lot of fun!!!!!! Good times!!!!

Does any company make a chicken salad spreadable or ham salad spreadable now? I loved the Carnation Brand of the 1970’s. Used to buy it at the Ft. Jackson Commissary.

I think Bumble Bee chicken salad (Snack on the Run Box ) tastes the same as Spreadables. My memory may be off since it was so long ago, but the Bumble Bee is very good.

Where can I purchase the Bumblebee chicken, ham and tuna salad spread? Is it inna can on the self or in the refrigerated section? I used to buy them off the shelf (Carnation brand) at the commissary Ft. Jackson, Columbia, SC in the 1970’s. Thanks for your help!

I hope the company will make them again. Used to purchase them at the Ft. Jackson, SC COMMISSARY in the early to mid 1970’s. Delicious.

I wish Carnation would bring back the ham and chicken spreadables. We bought them at the Ft. Jackson Commissary Columbia, SC. in the 1970’s. I believe they would sell well.

Bumble Bee chicken salad (Snack on the Run Box ) as referenced by “ladybug-60” is indeed the closest I’ve tasted. So much so.. I have been buying them off the shelfs… lol.
Walmart / Publix in Tampa carries them. One with just Chic Salad (3.5oz), Crackers and a mini-spoon (~1.25 ~1.35). They also market a version with an added fruit cup.
Lastly… a very close 2nd is a Chic Salad on the Run under the Aldi’s label “Brookdale” (I think) – $1.05
All in regular – non-refrigerated isles…
Just like the original Carnation.

What happened to why they stopped selling The Spreadables?They were wonderful. So good and would be great during Pandemic and families at home
Got started on this when I was 16 driving a tractor in the summer and never stopped until I couldn’t find them anymore, wish they were still sold, bumble bee similar but not close enough for me to eat regularly.
“Good, Rich Color”.
Looks pretty drab to me!
I remember eating these for lunch when I was in high school. They were pricy and therefore a special treat. I loved Deviled Ham, too.
I think I lived on this while in college. It was fun seeing this again. Thanks for sharing!
I LOVED Spreadables! So good on little “Party-Rye” bread. Mmm.
I remember this. I didn’t like it too much, it was too sweet. Like with Miracle Whip in it instead of mayonnaise.
well, it does state that it IS made with dressing. That could be any type of dressing. So, it could just possibly be made from miracle whip.
I believe the chicken salad was the best one.
I wish that they made these again.
