Post by norge » Sat Mar 13, 2021 3:17 pm

Been looking for the starch jelly candy in the old brown bag mres for a few years now but the closest is the charms from the mid 80s and up.
Have anyone found this Starch jelly candy in the old mres from 1980 to 86?

i see the menu listing for the acc pouches point out the different candy types and the starch jelly is there but not found...

*Candy
vanilla caramels
choc toffee bar
choc fudge bar
vanilla fudge bar
starch jelly :D :D

cheers ken

I've never come across it in my experiences. I bet they're referring to the Chuckles candy but I wonder why it's listed when it's incredibly rare or never existed in those MREs.

I love Chuckles! Hard to find in the US, they show up in random places but luckily a gas station near me sells them. Also, between E-bay and Amazon, its not hard anymore to just order some. Kinda takes the thrill of tracking candy like this down though lol

I've only ever had 1 pack, they came out of a 2012 MCW that I had a few months back. I forget the menu, but think it was a breakfast (egg and bacon maybe!). Had those, the blueberry granola and a poptart. I thought that was a decent haul :D
