Most of the stuff looks to be in good shape and still usable. I like to see test done on the food and candies.
That could be invaluable research for everyone on this thread and millions of others.
My thoughts exactly. pretty good shape for 50 years old and flooding. (saw some 1950’s barrels of crackers in a cave in Arizona, The “Grand Cavern”)
I have eaten canned cabbage (#10 survuval cans)that was over 30 years old and stored badly, in the garage in a moderate climate (So.Cal coast), and it was edible, I could have served it to people and they probably wouldn’t have asked about it.
About 15 years ago my dad bought a 5 pound sealed container of Civil Defense hard lemon candies. The can was similar to an ammo spam can. It looked like it dated from the 1950’s to 1960’s era.
We opened it and the lemon drops were in perfect condition. We ate them over a period of time and they were as good as any lemon drops you could buy in a candy store.
I like to see test done on the food and candies.
Candies made with real sugar instead of HFCS or other poisons. Yum!
