Government cheese is basically a staple at the food bank here.
Also stuff like govt surplus garlic powder. Every once in a while (thankfully very long whiles) we get to repack about 4 cubic feet of powdered garlic into 1lb* bags for distribution at the food share store. The powder goes everywhere—your clothes, hair, nose, behind your glasses. You smell of garlic for days despite showers and laundry.
* not sure about the weight. Might’ve been less.
