    I have a big thing of “biscuits” from a cold war fallout shelter. Government one, I remember that much. I gotta go find that thing sometime.

    I thought about cracking it open and trying a biscuit, but honestly it was in pretty rough shape. I kinda doubted the biscuits would be edible, and if that was the case I would have just ruined the can further for nothing.

      You should take a look at SteveMRE1989 on YouTube to see how long those packaged foods can last. He’s eaten rations from the early 1900s without issue usually. It’s pretty wild how well packaged some of that stuff was

        Oh I love that dude! “Nice hiss. Let’s get this out onto a tray.” He will dead ass stop mid chew like, “yeah that’s foul.” Then go back for another bite.

        The issue with the biscuits is that the can is very very rusty in some spots. The biscuits aren’t the failure point the can is lol.
