Bought this because I’m a GenX who grew up during the 70’s and I remember my grandfather taking me to his small town’s CD(Citizens Defense) depot and I saw PALLETS of these! Just a reminder of a different era. My grandfather was tasked with checking the CD depot and inventorying the contents every quarter. He volunteered for this duty and was unpaid, he considered it an honor. Good times. We need those back.

DO NOT EAT. AP is not liable for upset stomachs or any other issues caused by consumption of these crackers. Please note that we do not accept returns on this product.

Back in the 1960s Civil Defense and preparedness for nuclear catastrophe was all the rage. The US government began preparing for such a calamity by producing millions upon millions of crackers and other types of non-perishable, vacuum-sealed food.

Comes vacuum sealed in a 9.5" x 9.5" x 14" steel container weighing 18 pounds. Most of these tins were sealed in the early to mid-1960s and have not been opened since.

These are a collectible and are not fit for consumption.
