With all the talk about the P-38 and after I dug mine out the other day, got to take a close look at it this morning. Noticed it was marked:
U.S. SPEAKER
Are your P-38's marked with the same thing ? Just curious...

C Rats
Biggest thing I remember were the 4 pack of cigarettes. They were so old when you lit up it was like a fuse on a firecracker. If you got 2 drags you were lucky.
SEMPER FI!!!

Dunno if C-Rats would keep forever, but a few decades did not seem to be a problem.
I only remember one incident of a meal that, actually, was bad. One of our guys opened a can, I don't remember what it was, but all the can contained was the skeleton of a bug. Apparently there had been a pin hole in the can and an egg was inside. It seemed to have hatched, consumed the contents, died and dehydrated over the years. It was quite a conversation piece for a while.
Personally I liked, most of them. Found the Ham & Eggs were best unheated. Never cared for Lima Beans but enough hot sauce can make, nearly, anything edible!

I didn't mind any of them but the Ham and Eggs Chopped was my favorite if you didn't have a lot of time for heating and fixin' they werent all bad cold.
