I went to military school in the late nineties. Several of my classmates enjoyed the experience so much that they signed up for ROTC, so they could do the real thing. They would go on field training exercises, during which time they would subsist on MREs. Hanging out with one such friend after one such exercise, we cracked open a spare package. Inside was a baggie of M&M’s, whose labeling included advertising for a sweepstakes to win tickets to the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics.

This was in 1998.
