If it's of any help, I remember tasting some of those components.
The frankfurters - Four Fingers of Death
The fruit mix - similar to canned fruit cocktail after rehydration.
The crackers - same as c-rat crackers in different packaging.
Cigarettes - same as in c-rats

Hey MCIera,

Just wondering if these were issued out to regular soldiers on the ground or if these were special issue for select forces?

And when were these first issued? was it in the beginning of the war? or later on?

Thanks for your help

Mike

I wouldn't know. I tasted them after coming back to the world.
Don't know if they were ever issued, per se. As for the "beginning of the war" that could technically go back as early as 1954 when the French left Viet Nam.
