Default But where have all the crackers gone?

Actually, as it turns out, under the Brooklyn Bridge.

Quote:
Survival blankets and crackers dating back five decades to the Cold War have been found in a long-forgotten storage room under New York's Brooklyn Bridge.

Officials believe the stash, discovered during a structural inspection, may be one of many created in the US in the 1950s amid fears of a nuclear war.

The provisions include 350,000 "Civil Defense All Purpose Survival Crackers", medical kits and now-empty water drums.
So, in case of nuclear war, it seems that crackers do matter after all.
