did you ever eat C-rations? I can tell you first had how they rate!


Yes.

Believe it or not, I have a package of pre-Korean War Camel cigarettes
and several packages of green package WWII Lucky Strikes that - get
this - in Vietnam. :)

I had some what I believed to be WWII C-rats. This was probably '62.
All I remember a little piece of chocolate and hard-tack like cracker
which were barely edible. Didn't even try anything else in the
package.
