Accessory Packet B surprise

Post by oktoberskyline » Mon Jul 24, 2017 10:56 pm

So I recently decided that I would stop trying to sell the three remaining dark brown bag MRE's I have have and just pop them open to explore myself. The one that I had was a No. 1 Pork w/ Rice in BBQ sauce, the Acc Pk B held something that I've never seen before, I've seen the M&Ms, lots of Charms, but never a Mars Bar. Not only was it different, it still felt to be in one piece and not melted. Has anyone else seen this before?

I remember having a Mars bar from the old brown bags, but I don't remember it being the solid one. I do remember some of the late early 90s ones having a few different kinds of candy bars.

I haven't opened it yet, but when I do, I'll snap some pictures of it.

Very cool! I have seen those before. In fact, I've got one in my display collection that I got out of an old brown bag MRE in the past year. Nice find! :)

What year was that one? Because I can't find any info on them. Mine was marked from 92, but it also didn't have a heater in it.
