Before I retired from construction we used to look solvent/chemical containers for " not for human consumption labels". We soon quit being surprised!

At the casting bench in the sky. RIP Bret.
C-rats, one meal had these chocolate covered coconut discs, man were those good! I was far happier with C-rats than the dog food turned out the field mess as long as I didn't the the ham and eggs (barf!) or the so called spaghetti and meatsauce (gag!). Usually I could trade to someone who wanted that stuff. But I still recall trying to eat frozen spaghetti one sub zero South Korean night...

C-rats were better because you could open the cracker can and put half a fuel tab in it to make a stove to heat up the meat can.

The one that had apple sauce in a can was always rotting and popping open.

There was a batch of Spam made in 1940 rumor has it there are plans in motion to make a second batch .

A friend of my Dad's went to an auction and bought a pallet of C and K rations . Then he found out he had bought a whole lot.......like 5 pallets of each .
They weren't bad but I had maybe 3 in 2 weeks in deer camp and 4-5 more over a month or so not every day for weeks .

I have 2 cases of MREs that ride around in the trucks from October thru March we probably ought to just bust them out and replace them .

Jerry Lewis song from the 50s (?). I'm not 'at war' with anybody. Our chow was good. Milk lasted a day, fruit a week, peanut butter and grape jelly disappeared before it got to the reefer. Anything purchased outside the US was fish food before re-entering. 1940 something steaks were decent if you cut off the freezer burn. Or drank too much beer! Or just didn't care. Sometimes on night watch 'cookie' would make pizza or warm bread. Cereal and biscuits had weevils, extra proteins. Went from 130 to 140# in 4 yrs. so I guess the chow was OK.

I just remembered the line, probably saw the movie when it came out, just forgot. Old age does that to you. Didn't get the meaning of your comment until I looked up where that came from. I'm sure it was a hilarious comedy. Probably had Dean Martin in it also. Every once in a while I find an 'our gang' on the tube. Guess that's too woke for these days.

Popper, yes . . . life is too much for the world today. Everybody gets so offended by everything!!

I miss the old days when two of us would get in a fight and then go have a beer together. We all just got along mostly.
