I don't know from Datrex but I had a pre-Korean War In-Flight Meal Box (sort of like K-rats) for lunch on a school trip back in 1982 -- roughly 30-35 years old. It was spaghetti with meat sauce, canned fruit cocktail, and I think had a candy bar. The kid next to me offered me his lunch if I'd just throw out the spaghetti after I opened the can. I think it would have been tastier if it had been warmed up; as it was, it was like bland Chef Boy-Ar-Dee. The fruit cocktail was excellent.
