Dog Biscuits ??? That is what we ate daily in C-Rats.
Ice Cream... That was a treat !! Good old Nutty Buddy ! PX annex had them for 15 cents one block from our motor pool gate at FT. Hood. And a Grape Nehi..
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...

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.

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.
