A Flavor Explosion The Pentagon
The Pentagon is still searching for a new color for the food packets it is dropping over Afghanistan, but ruled out light blue because Afghans might object to a shade that dominates U.N. and Israeli flags, a defense official said on Thursday. The hunt began when the Defense Department realized the bright yellow wrapping on the 1.5 million rectangular packages dropped over Afghanistan was similar to the color of unexploded cylinder-shaped bomblets.
