InstaMash is a pre-war instant mashed potato product, packaged in a small, rectangular cardboard box with a retro-futuristic design. The box features vibrant, faded colors, predominantly orange and yellow, with bold, atomic-age typography and a cartoonish illustration of a steaming bowl of mashed potatoes. The surface is slightly weathered, showing signs of age with creases and minor tears, reflecting its post-apocalyptic setting. The box has a matte finish with a slightly rough texture, and the edges are slightly rounded from wear. Inside, the powdered contents are contained in a thin, crinkly plastic pouch, visible through a small, transparent window on the front of the box.
