Does anyone know how old this is?

Post by Darthatron » Sun Feb 17, 2019 5:44 pm

Hello, I am new to the forum, and I don't know much about MREs. I bought a pack of military candy at a thrift store. I asked the owner how old it was, but he said he didn't know the exact age, just that it was pretty old. I was curious if anyone could identify it or if anyone can tell the age of it. I attached two pictures of the candy. Thank you!

It's probably meant to be Civil Preparedness carbohydrate ration
