I've got four items and I think two are from Gemini (the person who gave them to me thinks all four are from Gemini).

One is "BEEF WITH VEGETABLES" 3 oz. water 15 - 20 minutes WSD 15.

Another is "TOASTED BREAD CUBES" WSD 14 Serial No. FE 990.

These two have white labels and use black velcro.

The other two items look newer to me. One says "BEEF BITES" and "R134029-1"; the words are written directly on the plastic packaging in black. The last item actually has a fully printed large yellow label. It says "Potatoe Pattie (precooked)" and has a listing of ingredients, etc. It also gives the company name: Freeze Dry Products, Inc. in Evansville, IL. This package is actually opaque.

How can I find out more about these items?

I never knew Dan Quayle worked at NASA.

Oops! It actually says "potato" - no "e"...
