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. *:)



tom, if you cold get your hands on a carton or pack of WWII vintage
Old Gold's you could move to eastern europe flat broke and be uber-
rich. Well, at least you could have before theSoviet Bloc fell
apart. Right after WWII Old Gold sigs,were handled on the balck
market better than currency. you did'nt dare open a pack. If you
wanted to get to the head of the soup line or get an extra loaf of
stale bread and less watered down potato soup, all you had to do was
have a beat up, yet unopened pack of OG's, hand it to the Kommissar in
charge, and you went to the head of the line. No Kidding!
