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! ;)
