Would you eat this Sea Ration?

You got that backwards. I ate some a few years back. They would be good to eat when you are not going to be around a toilet for a few days.
When the World War II era rations were made, did the mfg's specify how long their shelf life would be? Like the modern MRE's and SHTF meal kits?
It would be pretty bold to go ahead and dive right into something from so many years ago...I am on the fence with this one.

As kids in the Boy Scouts and cub scouts we got tons of that stuff through the local CAP... one of their guys was Scoutmaster. Wonder how parents would react today to giving kids dinners that included a three- pack of unfiltered Camels?
As for eating that today??? When I can have grilled short ribs in Thai red curry? No brainer... someone else can have the antique SoS!!!

God forbid you have enough of them to eat so you have enough combined toilet paper.
That always pissed me off that there was never enough toliet paper.

That little roll of toilet paper wouldn't even pass for single ply. They would have done better to put a single sheet of Bounty paper towel in the bag, and maybe one baby wipe.
Holy fuck, they had Charms then too!? I heard some guys that went through basic the year before I did were given C rations once --this would have been in 99, 00 or so.
Got this one beat though, by about 15,000 years. Some scientists found a Woolly Mammoth completely preserved, basically flash frozen, and decided to eat a piece. They said it was "a bit rancid but edible". Damn.

No. I knew C Ration personally, and there's a limit.
That can is dead, dead, dead!
...Or, rather...; it isn't and it needs to be...

I remember getting out of the Fleet in 1985 and joining the Army reserves around 1990 because there wasn't any Marine Corps reserves in the area.
We went to Oklahoma for our two weeks and I brought a bunch of canned stuff,I pull out my John Wayne and this kid asked me 'What is that"?
I was are you kidding me?

Posted to the Embassy in Liberia circa 1990 I found some early 1950s C Rats in one of the storage rooms.
Ate two or three of them during a lonely mid shift mainly to get the can opener out of them and also out of curiosity.
Two or three were opened and eaten fresh as the day they were packed.
But I pushed my luck with a can of meatballs.
I sunk the P51 in that can ans immediately it started to release an enormous amount of PSI through the tiny spike hole in the can top.
It carried putrid meat sauce to the height of the white drop ceiling tiles in the Post 1 guard enclosure at the front entry of the Embassy.
I retreated from the enclosure to avoid getting rained on with 40 year old meat sauce instead of doing the smart thing and throwing it into a trash can.
I guess Im not the guy that will roll on the unpinned grenade.
Anyway it was a meat sauce eruption to the extent a stalagtite of sauce formed on the ceiling tile up to the point the can pressure was relieved.
Enjoy your C rat.

Born Ft. Bragg dad brought home stuff to eat the biscuits I called crackers were my favorite. mom wouldn't eat some of it because it tasted like cigarettes probably why I'm fucked up? Circa a long time ago
More like biological fueling.
AOC should eat a can to promote her green new deal.
