  • Ok so today I'm looking at a 1964 C Ration. So as it turns out the stuff that I thought would be good were bad and the things that should have been bad were good. Kinda crazy I know but, I just love the history of these things and, the cigs that are in them very cool.

      Be careful with smoking older filtered cigs some of them have asbestos in the filters

    • @Oldsmokey1
      @Oldsmokey1  7 років тому +1

      The only old cigs that I know had the asbestos filter was the old Kent brand cigs. They only made them for a number of months.

    • @sarjim4381
      @sarjim4381 7 років тому +3

      Kents contained crocidolite, a form of asbestos, from mid-952 to mid-1956, when Kent's own research showed some crocidolite could break off and get injected into the smoke stream, especially for smokers who's draw was higher than average. They then switched over to cellulose to the complaints of then current smokers. They knew the draw had become more difficult and the taste had changed. It appears from research that you would have had to smoke Kent's from that entire period and be one of those smokers that really drew deep puffs within the first two drags to substantially increase your chance of mesothelioma. Assuming a smoker started when they were 16, the youngest smoker of Kents from 1952 would be 80 years old today. Very few people with mesothelioma make it to 80. Every other filter cigarette used some form of cellulose rather than crocidolite. I have no idea why Lorillard, the markers of Kent, thought using a form of asbestos in filters was a good idea.

      @Saimyoshu 8 років тому +2

      oldsmokey if I may suggest anything from some of the videos I watched. It's strictly my opinion and what I like from what I've seen from other reviewers. But I really do enjoy maybe a short history brief on the ration or food, maybe a small short story of a take you've heard or read about soldiers who've tried it. I really love that about these videos besides the reactions and the rations themselves. It's kinda cool to hear what you have to say about others who have experienced it or what they've done with the rations. Kinda like when how they used to call Ham and Lima(Ham and MotherF***ers) or that they would melt the cheese spread into the ham and Lima beans. Idk. I think stuff like that really adds flavor and really gives me more reason to dig my head into the videos. But again. Just my opinion! Love the videos regardless and you've definitely deserve every sub you get

      I will definitely take that advise for sure. Next vintage review I do I'll include some more stories about that particular ration or mre. Thanks for the advice I'm definitely open to it. As I stated I'm kinda just getting started I think I'll get better with time that's my goal anyways. Check out my review of the 83-84 from Stickyfingaz745 I tried to add some stuff about what was going on those years. But yea I'll definitely be doing that in the future. Thanks again!!

      Yeah mine were actually chocolate cream cookies. Made by the same company that made and still makes girl scout cookies. I did some research after this video into the cookies. Mine were perfect as well just chocolate cream. There was chocolate cream, lemon cream, and vanilla of course. The chocolate and vanilla were most common the lemon was pretty rare I guess.

    no offence to Steve but I like your videos allot more, your normal. Lol. not a square,goofy,shaking weirdo. but something he does that I see you won't Is actually eat more then just a nibble and drink the stuff you paid hundreds of dollars for.

      @Oldsmokey1  7 років тому +2

      +Ericdawg420
      Oh no I eat it. I just don't want to make you guys set through me eating a whole sit down type meal. I think I should just give the flavor profile and move on. I try to knock it out so it's still hot when I get done. If not I've got to heat it back up. But as for Steve you couldn't ask for a more normal dude really. I happen to know him really well and he's as laid back add they come. As for him being shaky. If I were opening up a ration like the stuff he has I'd be shaking to. Not only the historical value but the monetary value as well. That's enough to make the best profesional nervous. I mean he only gets one shot to get those rations on video. It's not like he has an extra if he messes up. I'll say this even with a simple ration you still get nervous before starting the video. Also check out the end of some of my videos I sometimes show the tray after I've finished the meal.

    Weston's is a bakery company that was originally founded in Toronto. It opened a bakery in Virginia after WWI and prospered making packaged cookies for the expanding world of self-serve groceries. Cookies (or biscuits in Canada) were usually sold in big barrels to grocers. You decided how many you wanted and the grocer put them in a bag. That obviously wouldn't work for self service so Weston's started putting cookies in consumer size boxes. Their real success came in 1949 when the Girl Scout cookie program started and Weston's became the exclusive supplier. This success impelled them to open four branch bakeries in different parts of the country to meet the demand for Girl Scout cookies. They still bake Girl Scout cookies today. Because of their success in high volume quality production, they were also chosen to be the cookie supplier for C rations. If that cookie tastes familiar, it's because it's the same recipe used for Girl Scout Sandwich Creams.

      That is some awesome information right there. Next time I get these in a video I will mention this. I will add that the info was passed along to me by you. That's so cool thanks for sharing. Thanks for watching also. Later.

    • @sarjim4381
      @sarjim4381 7 років тому

      You're welcome. I used to get roped into helping my nieces with their Girl Scout cookie sales and dealt with Weston's several times. They sent me a history of the company which I still have around here somewhere. It was good trading material when guys got the Weston's cream sandwiches in their B-3 unit. There were only three out of the twelve menus that had cookies, and they always came with the cocoa beverage powder. The rest had crackers and usually cheese spread in a can. The jam in yours was usually used on the bread or saved for crackers. There were several makers of C ration cookies. Jim Dandee is one that comes to mind, and none of them were as good as the Weston's cream sandwich. It came in several flavors, including vanilla, chocolate, and coconut. Since there was only a 25% chance of getting cookies, and a much lesser chance of getting Weston's cream sandwiches, smokers could almost always find non-smokers with a sweet tooth willing to trade off their smokes for cookies. I don't think a C ration ever got eaten as it was packed.

      I was actually taught on here that they were and still are the manufacturer of girl scout cookies. They used like 3 or 4 different brands but this Wesson was supposed to be the best.

    I always wondered why they never had cigars in these rations. I know there were cigar smokers in the military at the time.

    • @Oldsmokey1
      @Oldsmokey1  7 років тому

      That's a good question but my guess would be maybe because of the size of cigars and the packaging they came in. But idk honestly. I'd say they were available to most guys somehow.

      Looking forward to it. It seems in a lot of reviews that the entree is the first thing to go in the MCI's. A guy I know recently lucked onto a large supply which had been stored in a basement and so far they have all been good according to him. Thanks for the quick response and have a great one.

    • @Oldsmokey1

      You mean still edible??? You've got to hook me up with a few of those from this basement. The one I just done still had the fruit and the entree in it. Seriously though I'd like e to get some good entrées. Those usually go because of the fruit going takes them out usually.

    • @harrisonblackwood2378
      @harrisonblackwood2378 7 років тому

      If they were mine I'd seriously hook both you and Steve up with a few. Yes, edible. He's eaten a few and his kids eat them. He say's theyre fine. I've told him he should sell them on Ebay, that theyd go quick. I didn't know it was the fruit unit that caused the problem.

    • @Oldsmokey1
      @Oldsmokey1  7 років тому

      Tell him to get ahold of me. I'll buy some for me and Steve. I'd love to actually try an entrée. Yea the acid in the fruit is usually what does it to Tomato sauce stuff.
