As long as people have been eating, they’ve been preserving food by salting, smoking, jarring, fermenting and canning, but every food has an expiration…or does it? Many foods from our past still exist sealed in their original packaging -- buried in bunkers, rotting in cellars, forgotten in fridges, or collecting on shelves. Potentially dangerous to eat, it’s being rediscovered, shared and traded amongst passionate collectors to see if it really has survived the test of time.

In HISTORY’s new unscripted series Eating History, vintage food experts Josh Macuga and Old Smokey embark on a quest to uncover, unbox and eat the oldest, most nostalgic, and shocking foods to have survived history. They take viewers back in time to find foods believed to have been lost to the past, and discover which eats have conquered time, revealing forgotten eras and the stories they hold as they explore history through old food.

Historical eats unsealed this season include a vintage box of Wheaties from 1947, 1940s-era canned grasshoppers, Korean War rations, Star Wars C3PO’s cereal from 1984, 1940s-era Pepsodent toothpaste, vintage NASA rations, and even the notorious 80s flop, New Coke to name a few.
