To whoever wrote this episode, thank you. That was a fun and hilarious trip down memory lane. I'm not old enough to have eaten C-rats, but we did get the T-rats (or tray rations) back in the late 80's. They were a serious bear to try and open with a P38, but I wish I still had my P38.

No crazy caffeine gum for me thanks ,I'll just stick with previtin.

[@salgoudnedrac5489]

Just to clarify gents & no disrespect intended either by the way for giving lesson in the comments section but for the TP you take the TP out of the pack unfold it & wrap it around your index & middle finger about half way up while pinching it down with your thumb.... & Using light pressure in a swiping motion ...use your imagination lol. Ps the packs are small you'll need several to finish the job it's about the length of your index finger / two thumbs wide & a thumb thick lol it's not great, but with practice you'll have clean fingers at the end. As for the P38 P51 they are fantastic. Thank you simple history keep the content coming.

I’m guessing the um has a lot of sorbitol and xylitol in it which act as a laxative, stimulants also induce bowel movements
