Chesterfield Kings!!
I stated smoking Chesterfield Kings in The Nam becaus of their availability--Sundry packs had 10 cartons in them and 2 of them would be Chesterfield Kings.
Everybody else would be arguing over splitting up 2 cartons of Winstons or Marlboros among 10 people while I'd just rucksack the CKs.
You could depend on the 101st to be late for resupply so at the end of the cycle, I'd be trading back packs of CKs for peaches and poundcake. I smoked CKS all the way up to the time I quit (1974--Yay!!)
Can you believe they even put cigarettes in LRRP rations?? Sorta failure to grasp the concept there but maybe the concept was to get evryone addicted in which case it was superb.
As for tropi9cal chocolate, that was one of the things if you tossed to a Vietnamese kid, they wouldm toss it back at you, you numbah hucking ten GI!
Stay good all
James
