On top of that once he started rinsing out the sink the color really came to those candies as the acid was washed off and it made me think he would have done much better displaying them if he had soaked them in like oil or wax and then let it harden to make it like an epoxy cast
lol the sour could be citric, malic, tartaric; all used in candies. The white powder was an acid, confectionary sugar, and cornstarch to mitigate sticking.
Imagine being a kid and finding that can in your grandparents garage or basement, and you open it up. I feel like any kid opening that can up would essentially have the exact same experience like that scene from "Pulp Fiction" where they open the briefcase and there's a golden warm glow on their faces. Haha. That's so cool though. I love seeing all these old things get opened up and looked at, and examined. Thanks for making videos like this and sharing them with us!
This brings back memories. Way back in the early 70s I was in Boy Scouts and several Troops were participating in planting trees along the Sandusky River in Fremont, Ohio with the Army Corp of engineers. This was several miles of shoreline. The Army had a camp set up, and we would eat our meals there. There were these exact cans of candy there for our taking as much as we wanted. There were also saltine type of crackers in the same cans. As I remember, we ate Vietnam-era MREs and drank water from huge green cans that had Emergency Drinking Water written on them. And the trees are still there-over 50 ft tall.
@@davidmike3560 They are the round chocolate/toffee bars that come with the C rations that are slightly smaller than the can itself. Probably the only thing in the can that was actually somewhat palatable.
You can pop the round lid off with a screwdriver, but since you are trying to not damage it, I can see why you did not use that method. My dad got three cans of these when I was a little girl. Took us about 5 years to eat them all. I loved the lemon drops the most. Thanks for the memories^^
Could be ascorbic acid (vitamin C) powder, it also has a acidic or sour taste, in a survival condition you would need it to prevent scurvy and is essential in tissue repair and collagen production in the body. The other survival rations were typically crackers which is also carbs but with some fats for calories. These other rations may be lacking of vitamin c so the candy would be a pleasant way to get it and energy calories from the sugar.
I have a tin of the crackers (all-purpose survival biscuits) from 1963. It's still sealed, but I imagine they would taste like the dandruff from a mummy by this point.
it's not like a paint can, its crimped shut like a normal canned food can. So opening it like paint can isn't possible. At least one the ones I've opened/seen, and his looks basically identical.
@@JessHull hmmm interesting food for thought. I truly wonder how does one get it open…..🧐🧐 maybe a bigger industrial can opener😁😀. But! I feel we both can agree that opening it from the bottom was not the intention of the company that made it🕊🦜
The white powder is most likely a combination of corn starch and sugar along with a bit of citric acid. Great find. Don't worry about the red dye. You would have to eat a can full every days for a few years to reach a concentration that would be harmful.
The thought of someone using that tiny can opener to open this absolute unit of a can is hilarious. I guess if you have to hide in a nuclear bunker, time is the one thing you have plenty of.
My dad brought one of these exact cans home in the 1970's. They were great! I've wished I could find a can of these but thought they were all lost to history. Thanks for the great memory!
That white powder is likely corn starch to keep the candies from sticking together. Here in Canada there is an old time candy from Taverners that still packages their hard fruit candies in metal tins with powdered corn starch. Very cool to see these old Cold War relics coming to light. Thanks for sharing.
In 1962, I along with 7 other 8th grade boys were chosen due to our size to help cleanout an area under the stage at our high school auditorium and to move supplies such as the one shown on this video into storage there. The area was basically a dirt dugout left from the days when this building was constructed around 1920. Not sure why it was left as just dirt, without any gravel or sand or other cleaner substance. The dirt was piled up higher closer to the foundation of the structure it supported above our heads. It was pretty hard work because the height was less than our's. We spent the day removing objects left behind during construction and piling them up to make room for the entire student body in case of nuclear war. The food canisters were already delivered so we merely moved them to a location on top of the highest mounds of dirt. It was dusty and dirty and we were covered with the yellow clay dirt dust before we finished. I think they let us shower in the gym and change clothes. Oddly, I can only remember the names of several of the other's who worked together on that project. We were guided by a math teacher who was also a wrestling coach. He was a very large guy and he definitely helped with the lifting. I cannot remember his name either at present. The school was torn down for expansion of existing industry in the area around 1972. So those food items were only there for 10 years when they were either buried or removed. By the 70's the fear of the threat of nuclear war had seemed to wane. So it's probable that the supplies were destroyed at the time the school was torn down. Seeing this brought back a memory from my childhood I had forgotten. It wasn't altogether a fond one either.
I am genuinely blown away at how much candy was actually in there. You can look at that tin and you obviously know there's a lot in it, but the fact that it filled all of those containers is amazing. When I first saw all the jars you bought I thought you'd bought way too many... That you would only fill the two big jars. Well, surprise surprise, I was WAY off , lol. Anyway, I'm not really surprised that all the bigger mason jars were sold out. A lot of people are starting to get into canning and prepping because of the inevitable third world war we are slowly inching towards. Lol. Here's to hoping that doesn't happen... 🙏
Awesome video! I was so surprised to see how good that candy looked after 60 years, wow. Also really loved the clip of you driving back home on that country road, looked beautiful 💯✌
You’re so lucky! Been trying to find a tin of these. The candy was only issued to the very large capacity shelters. The red food coloring is a carcinogen, so probably not best to eat.
Very interesting, I've got a packet of civil defense paperwork about how to set up and run a civil defense shelter. Thank you for finding even more unique food items to show us !!
In college back in the 1980's, I had to clear out an old storage closet at a local state college in Massachusetts. It was full of bomb shelter supplies from 1962. Including silver canisters of candy like the one in this video as well as gold cannisters of crackers, heavy plastic bags for waste and water and basic medical supplies. I kept a gold cracker cannister - never opened it.
The biscuits or crackers were a scandal at the time, huge quantities were procured in a very short time period, some of the contractors were putting out defective product. Rancid. The thing about survival foods, there's often no way to know it is bad until it's too late.

That was cool 😎 hearing them pop in the sink! Loved hearing all the neat facts and alittle bit of history. I learn so much from watching these videos! Very entertaining to watch
when I was in HS in 1990-1994 our school had a bomb shelter beneath it that was stocked in the 50s. One day while I was in school, they called in people to empty it and restock it with newer items or something, they pulled everything out into the halls and they even had people with guns coming through. However I was in my classroom and some military guy comes in and rolls a barrel in, and says here do you want this? Gives the teacher the barrel. It had cans just like this inside with these exact candy supplements, they had opened one of the cans apparently and The teacher took them out and showed us. He told us what they were and why, then asked if we wanted to try them and actually handed them out to all the students. They tasted mostly of sugar, reminded me of the Horhound clove sugared candy they sell in looks but they tasted sweet and mildly flavored after 40 years storage. I bet that would never happen today in school. I have been interested in survival foods ever since.
Are there any other foods you've encountered that really seem to stay good forever? I'm a big fan of your channel by the way and I really appreciate how you document the long-forgotten brand-appearances and can designs
My mother had a tin like that back in the 60's and we opened it in the late 70's. It was packed full of rancid crackers. The tin had rusted very badly due to the humid South Florida conditions. Your contents look much better :-)
Now I understand why he washed the remaining pieces away. On another note, the fire department used to have these very same sized containers filled with these candies. We used to stop by and they’d give us some. I miss the early 80’s.
For some reason I think this would make a cool hand-me-down.. eating a piece a candy from the same jar your grandpa did 60 years ago would be an interesting feeling.
Post10!! Didn't realize you had this channel. This is cool. I love the vintage old school food brands in the background. It was the good old days when Coca-Cola and Pepsi used real sugar in their drinks. They need to go back to that and ditch HFCS. That's a lot of candy you found there. Great content! I watched a recent video you made on your visit to the abandoned Pennsylvania Turnpike tunnel. That was interesting. I guess traffic and congestion became a huge problem by the 1950s for the Turnpike tunnel, so the state expanded bigger highways. That was creepy that you two were being followed inside the tunnel. Good to be on high alert.
I would imagine it's malic acid coating on the candies if they're sour. That's a common sourness chemical. Anyways, great video again. I watch your videos all the time but today I decided to comment and let you know that I appreciate you and your videos. Keep it up!
What a cool can! As soon as I saw that it’s a huge rectangle I knew there was no way even the trusty 80s electric can openers were gonna be able to penetrate it, since they’re meant for round cans, which most food cans are. I had a good laugh when you first tried a puny little P-38, then just said “screw it” and took a huge knife and started hammering into it like you’re hammering stakes into the ground. What a cool find! I wonder if they had a specialized can opener for these in the bunkers or if they would’ve opened them similarly to how you did haha.
The sour coating is extremely likely to be citric acid, the same thing used in sour candies today. I remember having candy like that over 50 years ago, and I liked the sour taste that stopped after you got through the coating. I'm pretty sure they used citric acid as a preservative. Those were great candies back in the dy! Those were some of my favorites. Great video!
If you’re looking for huge glass jars I’d say check out vintage and antique stores. There’s always huge jars filled with marbles and other random things.
Seems like it has enough calories to keep a group of people alive for a while. Absolutely life saving and I can imagine people finding this after a massive disaster and feeling joy.
The top you can open with a flat head screw driver to wedge under the circle and pry open. We do that with paint pots. Hope that makes sense. We used to have tin like that in the 80s and 90s in the UK which was used to store food
Oh wow when I first saw the title, I thought it said eating a 60 year old nuclear bomb! This would absolutely win him the entire internet 🤣 Even though he's not eating any nuclear weapons, I'm still very satisfied with this video! Lol
True story: I found the same can in the basement of the Duquesne University music school in 1988, although I only remember them being red. I ate them every night before going to sleep, and ruined my previously-perfect teeth. I also found a giant bottle of phenobarbital. That was fun.
I grew up near Escondido and I distinctly remember one of my neighbors going to work for Jon Charles after he lost his job as the neighborhood milkman. My mom said his milk was always late and warm. 😀
I recently rediscovered your channel and I'm happy I did! Curious.. was the white powder actually citric acid or was it sugar? It might have even been a vitamin-c powder like ascorbic acid which isn't as sour as citric acid. Thanks!
Very cool video, one of my favourite channels. I love your video style, literally just you and your camera in your all wood room and whatever weird thing you happen to be opening today.
I grew up worried because we didn't have a bomb shelter. I was born in 1959. I sold a house last summer with a shelter underground. would have been a great playhouse in my youth! I'm interested to see what is in this one. late to the game as no notification...again.
He was retired airforce and moved not far from K.I. Sawyer AFB, the last place he was stationed before retirement and one of the souvenirs he got after the closing was about 20 or 30 of those very same cans featured in this video. The last i saw of them was in 1997 shortly before he moved down to Grosse Pointe Park
another awesome video! i’ve been watching your videos for years now and they never fail to entertain me. just wondering, do you have a job outside of youtube or are you able to support yourself with the channel? only wondering because i know how passionate you are about what you do and it would be really cool if you were able to make a living just from the channel itself
Fun video. I was a kid in the 70s & my father was an Air Force big wig. I recall doing some Nuclear drills where we all scrambled to a shelter. There were similar cans to that one stacked up against the walls and in the corners.
IF they are the same, my Nan would give those sweets to me as a child, saying they are good for you. Sweet and a bit of a chemical taste. She called them Pear Drops, (the ones we had, similar shape but definitely not pear tasting). I think it must of had something in them to pep you up. Great video, THANK YOU!! (This was in the UK)
My dad was in the Vietnam war. He always carried a P38 and he also had the bigger one too. Forgot what it was called but I bet it was the P51. That one worked really well for opening bigger cans like the 1 gallon cans we used when we would cook dinner at camp. The P38 was nice but the bigger one was amazing. I hated opening cans after awhile with those things tho. Fingers would end up really sore after a dozen or so cans. 😂
@@NewEnglandWildlifeAndMore hope you do, find the P51 easier to use iirc they were used/issued to mess hall cooks and the p38 was used/issued to GI's TIP: Try placing the thumb on the shank

OMG imagine opening that in a shelter, that would really pick you up! I cant believe how fresh they all look. This is an amazing find!
As someone who's not really into candy, I'd probably be disappointed. I'd much prefer cans of actual food, not sugar candies.
You could’ve used a flathead screwdriver to pop open the lid like a paint can.

It was the good old days when Coca-Cola and Pepsi used real sugar in their drinks. They need to go back to that and ditch HFCS. That's a lot of candy you found there. Great content! I watched a recent video you made on your visit to the abandoned Pennsylvania Turnpike tunnel. That was interesting. I guess traffic and congestion became a huge problem by the 1950s for the Turnpike tunnel, so the state expanded bigger highways. That was creepy that you two were being followed inside the tunnel. Good to be on high alert.
I love these videos! They're so relaxing 😁
Another's prestigious drop from the man himself I been following you over the last two years and love every video
I would imagine it's malic acid coating on the candies if they're sour. That's a common sourness chemical. Anyways, great video again. I watch your videos all the time but today I decided to comment and let you know that I appreciate you and your videos. Keep it up!
There’s so much of it, you should legit sell little bags of it, I’d love to try some of this.
Was just thinking about watching one of your videos!! Perfect timing!!! This is super interesting😳
What a cool can! As soon as I saw that it’s a huge rectangle I knew there was no way even the trusty 80s electric can openers were gonna be able to penetrate it, since they’re meant for round cans, which most food cans are. I had a good laugh when you first tried a puny little P-38, then just said “screw it” and took a huge knife and started hammering into it like you’re hammering stakes into the ground. What a cool find! I wonder if they had a specialized can opener for these in the bunkers or if they would’ve opened them similarly to how you did haha.
We have nuclear missile silos here in Kansas. Some are touched and some not. Now I'm extremely curious about the findings of them.
If you go exploring in them, you may not come back. :(
@@eddtard2686 nothing else to do out here. I have a will and life insurance. Why not 😁
Aren't some of those still operational and manned?
@@toupac3195 lol... that's right by friend why not
'New England Wildlife & More; for instance, washing candy' Gotta love this channel.
The sour coating is extremely likely to be citric acid, the same thing used in sour candies today. I remember having candy like that over 50 years ago, and I liked the sour taste that stopped after you got through the coating. I'm pretty sure they used citric acid as a preservative.
Those were great candies back in the dy! Those were some of my favorites.
Great video!
I love all the vintage things you collect!!
If you’re looking for huge glass jars I’d say check out vintage and antique stores. There’s always huge jars filled with marbles and other random things.
Seems like it has enough calories to keep a group of people alive for a while. Absolutely life saving and I can imagine people finding this after a massive disaster and feeling joy.
Luv how you filled them up properly without spoiling too much.
The top you can open with a flat head screw driver to wedge under the circle and pry open. We do that with paint pots. Hope that makes sense. We used to have tin like that in the 80s and 90s in the UK which was used to store food
Can you imagine how raw your togune would be having to try and survive eating them things not to mention how thirst provoking they would be 😭
Oh wow when I first saw the title, I thought it said eating a 60 year old nuclear bomb!
This would absolutely win him the entire internet 🤣
Even though he's not eating any nuclear weapons, I'm still very satisfied with this video! Lol
Cool and interesting find. Would love to see other cans and their contents. Keep up the great videos!👍
I absolutely love all videos you make on all your channels. Keep up great work.
I love your videos, keep them coming!
I love how your videos are unique, entertaining and informative! Keep it up these videos are awesome!
I swear that i am so happy when you post a new video... I love your videos! ❤
Great vid, not seen one of these opened before.Thanks.
True story: I found the same can in the basement of the Duquesne University music school in 1988, although I only remember them being red. I ate them every night before going to sleep, and ruined my previously-perfect teeth.
I also found a giant bottle of phenobarbital. That was fun.
Nice vid ! 👍 The sour coating is maybe acidic acid to preserve the candys (?)
I grew up near Escondido and I distinctly remember one of my neighbors going to work for Jon Charles after he lost his job as the neighborhood milkman. My mom said his milk was always late and warm. 😀
I recently rediscovered your channel and I'm happy I did! Curious.. was the white powder actually citric acid or was it sugar? It might have even been a vitamin-c powder like ascorbic acid which isn't as sour as citric acid. Thanks!
You should one of those desiccant packs in the jar.
i love this guy so much. interesting content.
❤
Very cool video, one of my favourite channels. I love your video style, literally just you and your camera in your all wood room and whatever weird thing you happen to be opening today.
I love the Tractor Supply, I miss it so much from when I was in the states... your video gave me nostalgia.
These look absolutely delicious. It's like Willy Wonka in a big can.
I grew up worried because we didn't have a bomb shelter. I was born in 1959. I sold a house last summer with a shelter underground. would have been a great playhouse in my youth! I'm interested to see what is in this one. late to the game as no notification...again.
I love you and love how you wanted to use the electronic can opener but couldn't 😂
A local surplus store sold these candies for like 20 cents a pound when I was a kid. Great lemon and cherry hard candies!
Probably the best conditions to be stored in, a dry cold bunker
Aluminum was so much stronger and thicker back then. Canned goods lasted years longer I bet.
He was retired airforce and moved not far from K.I. Sawyer AFB, the last place he was stationed before retirement and one of the souvenirs he got after the closing was about 20 or 30 of those very same cans featured in this video. The last i saw of them was in 1997 shortly before he moved down to Grosse Pointe Park
Had one of those in the 80’s. My favorite candy ever!re sealed it with a cool whip lid. Fit the round hole perfectly.
another awesome video! i’ve been watching your videos for years now and they never fail to entertain me. just wondering, do you have a job outside of youtube or are you able to support yourself with the channel? only wondering because i know how passionate you are about what you do and it would be really cool if you were able to make a living just from the channel itself
You're supposed to pry this in the center like a paint can..
Enjoyable video, thank you 💛
wow! look the shine on that gloss on the wood table!
“ This thing still hasn’t got used to the normal pressure of the earth” 🤣
😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I think you are using the "can opener" incorrectly. I think you are meant to move it forward rather than pull backwards
Fun video. I was a kid in the 70s & my father was an Air Force big wig. I recall doing some Nuclear drills where we all scrambled to a shelter. There were similar cans to that one stacked up against the walls and in the corners.
IF they are the same, my Nan would give those sweets to me as a child, saying they are good for you.
Sweet and a bit of a chemical taste. She called them Pear Drops, (the ones we had, similar shape but definitely not pear tasting). I think it must of had something in them to pep you up.
Great video, THANK YOU!!
(This was in the UK)
16.7kg for metric folks like rest of the world.
Also, P51 are the beefier big brother of the p38. They're both good but the 51 has more leverage..
Good to know maybe I'll buy some of those p-51s and give them a try
My dad was in the Vietnam war. He always carried a P38 and he also had the bigger one too. Forgot what it was called but I bet it was the P51. That one worked really well for opening bigger cans like the 1 gallon cans we used when we would cook dinner at camp. The P38 was nice but the bigger one was amazing. I hated opening cans after awhile with those things tho. Fingers would end up really sore after a dozen or so cans. 😂
@@NewEnglandWildlifeAndMore hope you do, find the P51 easier to use iirc they were used/issued to mess hall cooks and the p38 was used/issued to GI's
TIP: Try placing the thumb on the shank
Post when I was in the military, we opened cans like that with the type of can opener that is often found on pocket knives. It worked pretty well.
Either this is an older video or your hair grows back remarkably fast. Awesome video!
What an amazing find. Thanks for sharing
