Reply #9: Oh, I've had some of them too

[Frank Cannon]

I don't know where he got them, but a friend of mine in high school had a stash of CD food goodies in his basement that were at least 20 years old (his dad did work for the city and probably got them from a demolition project somewhere). He assured me that these things were designed to last something like 50 years and that they were okay to eat. Well, for reasons I won't go into, we were starved, so we decided to dig in.

The meal I had featured one of these wonderful crackers. You know those "buttery" Club crackers? Well, magnify the butter/oil/grease content by about 20, and you have one of these. It actually wasn't half bad, considering how old it was.
