Tried a 1963 Fleer cookie and 1968 Topps gum in the early 80’s. Don’t remember what the cookie tasted like now. The gum was brown and horrendous as one would imagine.

The 1963 Fleer cookie was cherry flavored as I recall. Also, Fleer had the foresight to place a blank card (brown on one side and white on the other) between the cookie and the actual cards. I actually had saved a bunch of the blank cards but sold them years ago.

Ugh, can't imagine trying a cookie that old. Couldn't be a good idea to try eating it.

There's a video on You Tube where a guy opens up a package of 25 year old Oreo cookies. He doesn't eat them, and you'll understand why if you watch the video (link here).

This guy has made other videos where he takes unopened packages of vintage food and tries them. He doesn't do it for shock value or for anything like that. It's done very seriously. If you've ever wondered what it's like to open vintage packages of food, and in some cases taste them, you'll find his videos fascinating.

That was a fun rabbit hole to go down lol. Thanks for sharing

I was like, "Should I watch this?" Then I was all, "I've probably seen worse." Now I'll probably be skipping dinner tonight.

There was a tv show maybe a couple years ago with two guys doing the "open old food and eat it" thing.

It was interesting, and they passed on eating stuff that was obviously bad.
