FOOD PACKET, SURVIVAL

I got U.S. survival ration.
They are SOPAKCO packings and have a date of 3323.
The contents are the same candy and gum as MRE, and a string.
What is this string's use?

Length may be insufficient in order to hang me.

Something that was made from rubber for the male may be necessity.

I am not opening the 2nd pack.
However, I found this page.
The opinion of Zizka seems to be a correct answer.

According to Combatindex.com;

The packet contains hard candy, candy-coated chewing gum, and twine. An instruction sheet is included explaining the use of the twine for storing the components after the packet is opened.

Definitely a high-tech solution.

Yes, use the string to save those oh so wonderful Charms and gum...Genius, I really hope I never have to subsist off of that.
