Hey there, everyone - here is a very quick (under 2 minutes) video of a RCI from the Korean War Era.
Fascinating stuff!

Far removed from the sight I had opening up a case of 56 RCIs... what a mess that was! The ones I opened from 55 fared much better, but were still more than 50% of the cans were destroyed by time. In one case most of the B units held up ok, but in the other case I only kept the 18 spoons and 1 water purification tablet bottle. All of the cans, accessory packets, boxes, etc were completely decomposed. Thankfully the outer box was able to be saved before it too was ruined.
