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'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
