Context on the twitter post referenced:
The first picture clearly shows an expiration date of July 2026 on the side of the canister, meaning that, as of the date of this note, it doesn’t expire for more than two years.
I love how they show an opened picture, like look how bad it is! But uhhh those are the good rations.
God damn, you are absolutely correct. Egg on my face for not checking the source I used. Comment deleted.

A tale as old as time. Even back in Vietnam, we were pulling the same shit.
Willard: “It was the way we had over here of living with ourselves. We’d cut them in half with a machine gun and give them a Band-Aid. It was a lie—and the more I saw of them, the more I hated lies.”

Its not really a tale as old as time if you’re only going back to the 1970s. I don’t think it was very common in the ancient world to provide military aid to your ally while also providing aid to their adversary, unless you secretly wanted to screw over your ally as well.
So there is now a market for explosive rations

I believe they’re standard US military M.R.E’s,
