The ones I had in '74 were made for the Korean war. The were made before I was born. -- Lead free solder is Belgium's version of 'Hold my beer and watch this!'

I used them for hunting and fishing trips they weren't that bad. They provided incentive to catch fish anyway's. ;-) The meat Taco Bell uses kind of reminds me of the Salisbury steak you get in C-Rats. I ate at taco bell once. I don't know about US rations but Salisbury steak was just ground hamburger or a poor facsimile of it smothered in what is supposed to be gravy. On the plus side you always got some stale chiklets or a chocolate bar.

The ones I used were so old they were packed with a few squares of TP and two cigarettes. :( -- Lead free solder is Belgium's version of 'Hold my beer and watch this!'

I'll bet that it is at least 6 months. Of course by then the unit (or even one determined individual) will have gotten to everything else available within reach of half a days march or more.
