Military VS Civilian MCI Comparison -1979 Commercial Meal Combat Individual

Post by ReadinessReviews » Thu Oct 08, 2020 12:32 pm

Ever wonder what preppers stocked their bomb shelters with during the Cold War? Well these would have been an option. I managed to score a full case of commercially produced civilian Meal Combat Individuals (MCI) also known as C-Rations. I took this opportunity to compare them side by side with their military counterpart from around the same time. This civilian MCI case was packed by Sopacko in 1979. The Military MCI's in this video are from a 1980 case. I wasn't initially planning on trying anything in this video but I couldn't resist trying the 40+ year old Instant Coffee. I do intend on doing full reviews of a couple of these rations in the future so stay tuned!

Thanks for Watching!
