Put the

diagonally.

around the

can be
>strewn thoughout the carton, filling any small gaps. Tuck the gum into
the
>gaps or wedges wherever it will fit. (The crackers will undoubtedly be
>crushed, but since they will be eaten in soup it doesn't matter.)
> When the carton is packed full (and it will be a very tight
fit), staple
>the top of the carton shut. It's easiest to have someone hold the top
shut
>while you staple it. Next, tape the top with duct tape, then strap the
>filled pop bottle to the carton with the duct tape. Tape menu to each
carton
>and record the assembly date.
> Your kit is now completed. Rotate kits every two years so that
the food
