Survival Kit History teaser

[Bishop]

What 24 hour survival kit always contained a cotton face mask, purple hooded plastic raincoat & Hershey's chocolate..?

Hint: nothing to do with covid or any other virus

 

[oldtimer]

Cold War Civil Defence?

 

[Wildgoose]

US coast guard?

 

[Woody girl]

Granny's handbag?

 

[daveO]

Is it the survival kit the first class passengers get from Ryan Air?

 

[Toddy]

Sounds American....raincoat not cagoule and Hershey's.

No idea. Intrigued about why the facemask though ?

 

[Woody girl]

This question is worrying me. I've tried to google it(yeah cheating I know,) it hasn't helped, all I'm getting is a story about a baby being found in a washing machine!
Is there a macabre connection somewhere?

 

[Broch]

Paddington Bear's day out kit?

South Korea Civil Defence??

 

[Jared]

Not for some natural disaster is it?

Japan takes their earthquake preparedness seriously and every household expect to a kit, and have quake simulations for training.

Edit: though not historical so... no idea.

I also started with the Idea of Japan and Tsunamis etc but the Hershey chocolate didn't quite fit.

South Korea has a large Pro-American tie however. I still am probably wrong.

 

[Jared]

Just hope it's not for something horrific like a nuclear strike or chemical attack.

 

[Toddy]

I was thinking something like Woodstock

 

[daveO]

Isn't Hershey's a bit like Terry Pratchett's dwarf bread?
"No one ever went hungry when they had some dwarf bread to avoid. You only had to look at it for a moment, and instantly you could think of dozens of things you'd rather eat. Your boots, for example. Mountains. Raw sheep. Your own foot..."
Maybe it's included as an improvised weapon?

I think you are supposed to give it to Dogs. Dog Chocolates.

 

[Toddy]

As in it has no chocolate ? (theobromine can kill dogs)

 

[Lean'n'mean]

Does it have anything to do with zombies ?

Sorry Toddy, bad joke. I always thought Hersheys tasted like Doggy Chocs.

( Don't give Dogs chocolate )

It's not cheating WG, question specifically chosen to be unfriendly challenging to search engines.

One person is really close, shall I put you out of your misery now or let it ride for a few more hours and reveal around 9pm?

 

[Woody girl]

I'm thinking toddy's suggestion of Woodstock is the most likely.
It was notoriously dusty at Woodstock and they did also have heavy rain at times turning the site into a mud bath.
A hershy bar is obviously american.
I go with Toddy.
Woodstock for me!
