Ausgezeichnet!

I should take a picture of some of the stuff I have, too!

Even though many of us have seen the individual rations, it's nice to see them together for their relative sizes.

Thanks!

You have a great collection, Rudi! It's too bad we're stuck in north america where all the european rations are so much harder to come by. But what is the ration in the top center?

Anyway thanks for the great picture!

the ration in the top center is the 24 hour ration of the netherlands:

Aah right, the one with the mentos! why don't our rations have mentos?

I think it would be great for morale!

I still can't believe that some nation still packs dextrose tablets into field rations! My granddad used to talk about those in WW2!

What are they supposed to do?

I meant that dextrose tablets seem(ed) to have gone the way of cigarettes in rations!

No what I mean is what's the purpose of dextrose tablets?

They're Vitamin C tablets, supposed to make your body retain more water (in other words, so you drink less water).

They used to be labelled as "thirst suppressant tablets".
