Looks remarkably similar to the beans and rice sides that Lipton (now Knorr) used to sell for a buck (similar to the noodles/pasta/rice ones they still sell). I still have some of them. Bet they haven't sold them (here) for 20 years lol. Mmmm, vintage beans and rice, that's like vintage scotch, right? I'll eat just about anything, and have a cast-iron stomach...

I got hungry just looking at the pics (yup, I don't watch food commercials...) and am considering the old Lipton stuff. It is kept here as emergency emergency food, to go with the old emergency bottled water...like for when death is the alternative. Better to have and not need...they're sealed so how bad can they get???
