1943 Life Raft Rations Army Air Force Survival MRE Tasting Test Vintage Radio & K Meal Unit Review

An in depth review of three generations of the AAF Life Raft Ration of WW2 from 1943-1945, a 1942 K Ration Breakfast Unit, their history, correlations, nutritional comparison, and testing. Also featuring a Vintage survival radio nicknamed the "Gibson Girl" for it's curvy appearance - used by downed Army Air Force crewman for sending out a Morse code signal for rescue on land or at sea. Modern Charms are now owned and produced by Tootsie Roll Industries, and can still be purchased to this day. Who knows, maybe they'll bring back the old formula on a limited run. I still say modern Charms are worth trying out. Wrigley's gum can still be bought, and also Adam's Chiclets (American Chicle Company). Neither have chicle gum base like the old days, though.
