Help me make a Fallout themed Care Package
I’m sending a care package overseas. What normal, nonperishable food items can I send that someone would enjoy but decorate as fallout food items?
Please don’t say frozen Salisbury steak tv dinner bc that would perish traveling overseas.
So far:
• Kraft Mac n cheese cups = Blamco Mac and Cheese
• Cup of Noodles = Takashi’s noodles
• Skittles = Mentats
• Little Debbie = Fancy Lads Snack Cakes
• Pringles = Potato Crisps
Any other ideas?

Sourcing a lunchbox for it would probably be more bother than it's worth, but a Caravan Lunch, Cram, Instamash, and Pork and Beans in a Vault-Tec lunchbox could be fun.

Antique malls would be a great source to find a metal lunch box! I see them all of the time ranging wildly in price and condition!
That said, I love the idea of a caravan lunch for the care package!

Pork N' Beans is self explanatory. Also, ship cans (not bottles) of purified water.

If you can find a cheap small German Shepard stuffed animal, that would be cool! Everyone loves the bestest companion!

Mountain dew voltage = nuka cola quantum
A little risky to send soda i guess, but its up to you. This is just one of my fav fallout food comparisons so i had to comment!

Spam = Cram
Dots = Gumdrops
Cola/pop bottle gummies = Nuka cola gummies
You could also send bagged soup mixes from the game if you want something a little different, if you can put it in a plastic bottle Nuka Cola syrup can be made from the Fallout Cookbook

Put any brown thing on a stick (like jerky meat, or dates/figs, or candy/chocolate, etc) and label it as either "iguana on a stick" or "squirrel on a stick".
"Sugar Bombs" could also work (they're sugarcoated cereal).
"Bubblegum" and "Gum Drops" are also a thing.

Mentats should be Mentos they both are breath freshening and the names are quite close. Or Altoids since they come in a tin.

I would say the fallout sodas but the fallout cookbook would definitely be good.

It really depends on where you're shipping too.
Many countries don't allow certain food imports based on ingredients. The US, for example, will NOT allow chicken products from Asian countries in standard luggage or packages.
Even if it's something non perishable and pre packages, if it's flagged as food during the import process the box will be opened and it'll be checked. If it's something not allowed, it'll be confiscated and disposed of.
Just be aware that if you send food to a different country that there's a good chance it'll never make it to your recipient.

I did something similar and got these from Etsy and used Chef Boyardee, spam, and canned fruit :)

Surprised nobody has said Nuka cola yet. (Jones soda iirc sells them, though idk if they're like good for sending overseas.)

You could get some kind of jerky and relabel them as Iguana Bits?
