Tell me about it! I tried to get my dogs to try them, they just wagged their tails and looked confused and these pups would inhale anything on the first bounce. On the other hand I had C-rations beans and weenies at Ft. Knox in 1980 that were stamped 1968 on the bottom, couldn't get the spoon into the petrified mass.

Funny you should get C-rats made in 1968. In 1968 we were eating C-rats made in the mid 1950's.

No doubt. Remember the Ham and Chicken Loaf? It looked, smelled, and (I can only imagine) tasted like cat food. MREs were getting better in the 90s, but I had long since sworn them off. For my last 3-4 years in boots, before heading out to the field, I would always make a swing by the comissary to stock up on deviled ham, canned chili, ramen noodles, jerkey, Gator Aide, etc. These and MRE crackers and hot sauce got me through just fine.
