A Box of Dented Unlabeled Cans of Food is a box that holds 6 Dented Unlabeled Cans of Food. The cans have lost their labels, so their contents stay a surprise until each one is opened. The box weighs 4.0, which is less than the 4.8 that six loose cans weigh.
The Open Box of Canned Food recipe empties the box into 6 cans. Six loose dented cans can go back into a box with the Pack 6 Cans of Food in Box recipe. A full box is a rare find on counters in old army buildings.
Eating
The food is in the cans inside the box. Each dented can opens with a Can Opener, a Sharp Knife or a Chipped Stone. Since the label is gone, a can is a gamble until it is open. A box of six is still a useful stock of food when supplies run low.
