I dont know all that much about WWII meal kits but I remember my Vietnam Vet Neighbor said that the food was so bad on the boatride over that he constantly had to write home for Garlic salt to help out his stomach.

The GI's in Vietnam also had alot of explicit names for the Charlie ration kits, like beans and dicks (Baked beans and hot dogs) and beans and motherf***ers (Lima beans and Ham).
