1974 B-2 can
new to the forums and my first review..
So I got lucky and found these babys on Ebay and bought 2 with the intentions of opening one up so here it goes..
I opened from the bottom to save the tin for display and I'm greeted with a nice little hiss
I take a little smell inside and fear the crackers have gone stale
Carefully pull out the crumbled cocoa beverage powder and inspect it over, no rips or tears which is a good sign and put that to one side,
Tip the crackers out carefully and take a look..
Crackers look absolutely fine ! Ok there is an little stale smell but it thought what the heck and take a nibble.. and they taste great phew!
Made up the cocoa and again that tastes as good as the day it was canned! I added some instant coffee to it and it just lifted it perfectly
So now I'm sitting at my desk at work chilling with a cup of 46 year old coffee cocoa and crackers thinking how crazy it is that my parents where like 11 and 12 when this was canned
Sorry for the rubbish review
✌

Just a little stale Norge, but otherwise perfectly fine!
All the best, Gents.
