Photo Challenge!

Capn Poolie is having a photo challenge. The premise of the challenge is to go into your own cupboard and find the most unappealing and/or lame-ass cheap food item there. Take a photo and post it. I'm entering these:
















How's that for lack of package design? Want to know what they are?

















Civil Defense All Purpose Survival Crackers made by the National Biscuit Company, New York, New York. How old is it? I really don't know but I can make an uneducated guess... No zip code on the can. That means they could be from 1963 or earlier. I'm sure everyone didn't start putting zip codes on their stuff the same day so it could be younger. My conclusion? Inconclusive.

I found them on the street in San Francisco about 10 years ago. They have been a door stop, an end table and toe stubber since then but I just can't bear to part with them.

What's the cheapest lame ass thing in your cupboard?

    Thanks gals! I just love that can of crackers.

    Poolie, dinner is usually sometime between 6 and 8pm :) I was lurking around your blog and I saw this challenge. I thought, sheesh, all my stuff is raw and comes in bulk, I don't have ANY good packages anymore :( But then I remembered, my old friend Survival Cracker. The photos are terrible cuz I used a camera with a broken screen.

    Cheers!
