I wanted to share these with you.
awhile ago I managed to dig up some additional 'emergency biscuits' / crackers tin's from 1961 and '62.
the tin is from dec. 61. so I figured I would celebrate that by eating some
.I opened up the tin in the poorest shape, also since it was the only one missing the actual opener , which normally is attached to the lid. Since the date is hardly visible I have a 1962 tin next to it.
By openeing it give a big ssssst ( so vacuum was OK). Crackers were still crunchy and smelled like there were supposed to I guess (probably not quite but ok), But tasted really plain. Some spread would help consuming the whole lot of 72 biscuits.
oh, and a gallon of water
Here's the pic's:
