C Rats held out til the mid 80s. MREs were like getting Burger King.

Correction you got several boxes to last 3 days resuplied every 3 days

Nothing but a rep-off of the Recollection Road" series of videos, BUT along with the extremely annoying voice, and idiotic narrative, he adds segments of his other videos to extend the length. INTERESTING subject, BUT the annoying voice, and idiotic commentary make his videos virtuallly UNWATCHABLE.

Kool-aid

Interesting subject, ANNOYING VOICE and IDIOTIC NARRATION!

I'll go for the beef bourguignon. :)

One of my favorites was chicken ala king. Freeze dried pork patties weren't bad. I liked the blocks of freeze dried peaches and strawberries.

Im so glad they retired thos 113s. I was a Bradley scout, good protection on them.

OMG, I definitely REMEMBER those old wringer/washer clothes machines! My grandmother owned one during the 1960s. Yeah, I got my fingers caught on 'em!

I don't know where you got your info from but the ham and eggs were a favorite for a lot of us, I'd trade whatever I had for those. The one I didn't like at all was the spaghetti.

Green eggs and ham, yummy:-( Chiclets was the big treat for me, and the pound cake with coffee.

I really wish these AI videos would just go away. They're terribly scripted, the pronunciations are off, and the droning speech is super offputting. At the very least, put some effort into them, so what is shown on the screen is at least tangentially related to what's being talked about in the scene. If you can't create real content, just leave it to people who are willing to put in actual work.

I'd be happy if today's appliances lasted as long as the old ones.

I remember when I had to fly to Saigon Vietnam and the airport there looked like a mess and smelled like it too in 1968.

Remember service? Well now on 8 track tape and stereo recordings…

The real cars are often EVs and the rental companies will have you arrested for Grand Theft Auto if you don’t get your car back at the very moment it’s due.

I think some airlines just pour your drinks into your open hand? 😂

Grace You mean the flight attendants were named “Grace?”

Some of the meals were part of C Rations from the army.

During the pandemic the airline would throw you off the plane if you didn’t have a mask.

According to an episode of twilight zone, you could even look out your window and see a monster about to mess up one of the planes engines. Talk about entertainment! Wowzer!

Are you still a captive audience of CNN like you were the last time I flew?

I can’t even park across the road from the airport in Rockford Illinois and watch the planes. The airport police came and told me to move along. Rockford is not such huge airport.

I loved the observation decks at Ohare in Chicago!

You missed the kids being allowed to visit the cockpit & even hold the yoke & fly the plane a little. And then get their "pilots wings" pinned on by the pilot.

We need a serious & comprehensive industry standard for service that has as its aim to Make Flying Great Again. Bring back most of these things!

I don't miss the smoking!

I'm just jealous of the spacious seats

It wasn't bad, better than what our brothers are getting overseas nowadays...

My favorite was the Maple nut pound cake in the flight rations. The can of OJ replaced cigarettes. The chocolate fudge was passable.

The freeze dried LRP rations were provided by Oregon Freeze Dried Foods. When government contracts slowed down after Vietnam, they turned to the exploding outdoor and backpacking market under the brand name Mountain House.

I still have 5 p38s on a safety pin fron those rations.

Pig-in-blanket or “pig” is still found in many eateries here in Holland, Michigan. Available with smoky link or Dutch sausage.

Beanies and weenies were my favorite.

Chocolate with celery. I thought I've heard it all.

My favorite are Rumaki, love them

GREAT JOB

All this stuff was pretty good if it was made correctly...just wait, it'll all come back in vogue

My older brother joined in 1980 for a long career. He sent home some of those C rations. Ham and eggs were excellent, but those chocolate fudge covered crackers mixed with regular ones were excellent. Better than most off the shelf cookies. He managed to get all the old ( historic/classic) stuff from the last generation. Only thing real old he did not care for was the big knife in the leather sheath. Too heavy and too clumsy. He purchased something more practical. Even his issued jungle boots were from the 1960’s! Anyway those canned meals were a delicious treat, and helped me deal with my big brother being away. He retired 30 years later. Amazing career, anytime there was violence in the news, he was in that country operating. Sometimes I wonder if he started it to get someone else in trouble- no wait, that was me the little brother!

My favorite was fruit cake. Garlic salt made thing taste better.

1:23 Outfit? Guys don’t wear “outfits”and these were uniforms.

Vietnam was such a shame and blight on this country. Evil beyond evil.

1955 Rusted Cans of C-rations, everyone fought over the Beanie Weeny rations one in each case.

Whatever happened to the GE wall refrigerator?

I would trade the eggs for the roast beef. A lot of other Marines liked the spaghetti. Nobody cared for the pound cake.

Don't forget the Ayds diet plan they were still advertising in gthe '70s

Deus abençoe América 🙏🏼🇺🇸🦅

The ONLY bad meal, was the one you went without!! Even ham and mofers, were better than going hungry!

In memory my city uncles we called them and friends, scar you to death with stories on 7th and central
