Food Packet, Life Raft, Aircraft - DoP 1962
I had recently bought 3 of these. Check out what the old Charms Life Raft Tablet Rations of WW2 eventually transitioned into by the early 60's!
It's an old sardine can with the key. Those are always fun to open - it's sharp so be careful if you ever open one.
Here is a full presentation.

More Pics
I took the rest of the mint sucrose tablets with me to work and enjoyed them on my long drives.
This ration is now what, 51 & 1/2 years old?
Neat stuff! Thankyou for looking!

I'm curious to see that those fruit candies have spanish writing on, "Dulce de fruta"- "Marca registrada"
Where were they made? Why Spanish? Interesting.

You are welcome! I feel we have come a long way in our military's survival rations here in the US.
I hope it is okay but I would like to show an example here on the same thread of a newer 2010 Survival ration that has been reviewed before but not one this fresh.
Nowadays, they have those General Purpose Food Packet Survivals and here was one I enjoyed on a lavish evening recently. Saved one of the shortbreads for a buddy.
And thank you for your appreciation on my presentations!

I would like to get my hands on several of those.
I have some but are the old 90's "tin cans" made here in Oklahoma.
Yes, OKLB changed their name to Newview...

I just looked around, but can't find what I was looking at last week - a case of these current issue general purpose food packets. I know someone's got em though, will update again if I find them again

You're right!
It ended and noone bought the case - if noone else on here wants em' I may ask the guy if he would sell me the whole case for a flat 175 or something.
