On a serious note, does anyone have a close up of what's written on the sides of those food packets we're dropping?

I've seen it several times, but I don't have a link. There are pictures of people eating the food and instructions (in English which doesn't really matter since 85% of the population is illiterate). There's also the usual "recommended daily allowanc" stuff along with an American flag and "A gift of food from the American people".

The close up looks like the child is eating strawberry jam.

There is also "This is a gift from the American People" stenciled on the outside of these packages. Inside, the packages have the contents described.
