At least the Skittles may still be good.

I purchased this case of 1977 LRPs today. I did a rough count and there are about 30 unopened rations. I paid $4 each and couldn't say no to that. It's not as exciting as the RCW items I found that I mentioned earlier in this thread but it's still a good find IMO!

oh man, this thread never ceases to amaze.
most wanted: RCIR, MCI/B units, IMPs, anything old, and a packet or two of RAFCO soup. PM if you've got these, or anything else to sell that isn't too expensive.

Very hard to find these cases! IIRC when new they came packed with 40 rations.
I had a partial case like that in the 90's.

Not only is it a GREAT score, now we know the years of the brown bag LRP's.
Thanks for sharing!
