Scho - ta- tola ' Chocolate Ration Tin
I wasn't sure if this was the right section to post. BUT. I've had a few of these chocolate tins in the past, but I was very fortunate to get from a dutch contact a full tin - completely sealed and un - opened. I know that no one in their right mind would open it and try and eat it, but I've rarely seen them "unopened" full contents - yes - unopened - no.
Anyone else seen them sealed lately?
These must have been stashed extremely well and forgotten, because Chocolate would have been a Luxury in the immediate Postwar Period...Very Cool!
It's actually called SCHO-KA-KOLA...
I tried some WWII Era Hershey's Tropical Chocolate years ago...It had no taste whatsoever, lol...
cheers, Glenn
Don't eat it unless you want to "buzz your t*ts off", it's packed with caffeine and kola nut!....
Scho ka kola is still made today. I eat it often, especially when I have a long distance to cover in Germany at the wheel.

LOl......FB - on a recent trip to Germany I stopped at a "rest area" - and was confronted with a tin of the said chocolate - exactly the same in design but without the date - and bright red instead of orange - of course I had to buy a couple to try- WOW - it was bloody awful!!Scho ka kola is still made today.

Yes; it's good stuff. I always carry a tin of Scho-Ka-Kola on any trip.
I guess it is an acquired taste. There is also a tin with blue markings, but I have not used it. I use the Wehrmacht style one and listen to Wagner or Brueckner
on Bayern Klassik. And I drive more slowly than I used to, since the traffic has gotten so bad and there are radars everywhere....
I've become quite a fan - it's available from the German Deli near London's Borough Market. It's fairly typical of Continental dark chocolate ( ie very strong ). It's nice to have a tin in your pocket on a cold walk.....
