Cool, cant wait to see it! I'm suprised about the soups, all the old ones ive had have held up fine, only one that went bad was beef and tomato, of which both go bad usually.
I cant believe the size of the of mars bars! Thats only snack size, but its bigger then a normal mars bar today! Look at how massive these 1990s rolos are as well, (1992 Rolo, US matches for scale)
