I've never come across it in my experiences. I bet they're referring to the Chuckles candy but I wonder why it's listed when it's incredibly rare or never existed in those MREs.

I love Chuckles! Hard to find in the US, they show up in random places but luckily a gas station near me sells them. Also, between E-bay and Amazon, its not hard anymore to just order some. Kinda takes the thrill of tracking candy like this down though lol

I've only ever had 1 pack, they came out of a 2012 MCW that I had a few months back. I forget the menu, but think it was a breakfast (egg and bacon maybe!). Had those, the blueberry granola and a poptart. I thought that was a decent haul
