No its a barrel of hard tack (aka crackers). Supposed to be old timely grocery store version of a water cooler.

Hard tack is absolutely not crackers, lol. You will chip a tooth trying to bite into it. Best to soak in your coffee first to soften up.

Best improvised weapon available. Nobody expects a hard tack to the head
