Description

"Not so tasty, Charlie Duke, Apollo 16, LMP"

Sealed package of Apollo-era space food containing ‘Corn, Cream Style,’ measuring 3.5˝ x 11.5˝, signed in black felt tip, "Not so tasty, Charlie Duke, Apollo 16, LMP." An instruction label to body reads: “CORN, CREAM STYLE, 3 oz. water, 5-8 minutes, NAS-9-3420.” In fine condition.

The food for the Apollo missions was prepared and packaged by the Whirlpool Corporation in conjunction with the U.S. Army Laboratory in Natick, Massachusetts. A wet-pack example like this cream of chicken soup required the astronauts to inject water into the food bag using a water gun. The package would then be cut open with scissors and consumed.
