I'm tackling the CR1M once more, because why wouldn't I?!
This pack was sourced by the awesome ‪@mikekreischerreviews3420‬ and is in much better condition than the first one I looked at! Thanks Mike!

A big thank you to everyone for watching, commenting, and engaging. Much love to you all! Well, most of you, at least.

Cheers!

Vegemite on toast with butter, topped with melted cheese and you're be like.. in heaven...

It’s the 8th of September 2020 production date. We Aussies use DD/MM/YYYY date format. Cheers

Condensed milk in any ration is a win

When I saw those biscuits jam sandwich, I immediately thought 'you lucky bastard!'. We called them fuckoff biscuits (or Biscuits, Fuck Off). That's because if someone asks you for one, that's how you respond.

What makes the chocolate go all powdery is temp changes.

The cold/ hot change breaks the tempering of the chocolate.

Vegemite is gold when eaten correctly

You can use the vegemite as a bit of a shitty stock cube, or if you have some plain flour- an even shittier gravy.

The things we used to come up with in the field with these things...

You can also use the Vegemite as an flavour enhancement whilst cooking like a stock cube or mix it with hot water to drink like a black tea. 36 years ago the fudge in the rations was actually laxative

I’m an Australian and the date is the 8th of September

The cheese is just there so they can keep putting the FRED in there, because if they remove FRED Diggers will absolutely freaking riot.

As a vet, I really do hope you are able to get your hands on an IN Date CRM one day… you’re still able to enjoy the bulk of what’s included, however it does take away from the overall experience when several items are spoiled. Nice vids mate.

Aussie here. Definitely best way to have it toast with butter and just apply the Vegemite sparingly. My American friend made the same mistake as you and tried a mouthful of it. Said it tasted like licking the back seat of a NYC Taxi Cab 😂

I recieved a protype of one of these around 2016 when i worked for isos, majority of the packaging had all the original branding, i was so impressed, was given during a joint american and aussie training operation near rockhampton
