I don't know how modern those things are in the USA, but certainly, when I was a youngster in the UK, olive oil was only found in what we called chemist shops and, I believe, you call drug stores. For removing ear wax! (Of course, there is nothing modern about olive oil at all; it has been used for millennia.)
Canned sardines were around, but I don't know if the canning process today is what she means. I had never even heard of anchovies, canned or otherwise, until I was well into my 30s. No idea about mayo.
Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed as much as I did.
Public Domain Review is well worth following - some stuff is culinary; most is not. But always something interesting.
