today I opened a MRE PINEAPPLE NUT CAKE with DATE OF PACK 1982. The outer cardboard was unfortunately missing, but the date code of the inner pouch said 2286, so it was packed October 13, 1982, about 29 years old when opened


Some photos:
Pouch front side with date code 2286

Pouch rear side, that time the inner wrappers were still glued into the cardboard, here the you can see some leftover of glue

The three following pictures show a cake in perfect shape and appearance, nearly as baked yesterday




The taste was awesome as always, even 29 years after packing




So long mreheater72
