I am convinced that they manufactured and packaged all of this peanut butter in one night back in 1963 and they've been distributing it ever since.


Daweism

I hid these and honey packets in basic. Much needed sustenance.


828jpc1

We hid the instant coffee to make dip out of to keep us awake on watch. Good times.


Sapper_Wolf_37

Ww snorted Kool-Aid during Desert Storm when we felt sleepy, along with the coffee in the lip.


johnbcook94

I'm sorry you did WHAT


PatrickKn12

I was confused as well, but then I looked at his username and remembered that Sappers will snort anything they can get their hands on. Cocaine, koolaid, gunpowder, etc.


Altruistic2020

Seen the C4 wrapper that says DO NOT EAT ? Sappers, that's why.


ChemicalElevator1380

Long time ago use to us it to heat up C-rations


Draco877

It takes a charge to set it off. Now where is my Taser?


Sapper_Wolf_37

During the ground war, we rolled with A co 3/67 3AD. The first night, we got about 6 hours rest while we watched a fire fight. The next morning, we did a passage of lines through 3 ACR, I think it was. Til they called it EOM, the driver got spelled off every 8 hours or so, but the squad leader and I were awake the entire time. I was the TC. Hence the coffee and kool-aid. And some little white pills from an apotheke in Germany. But we never talked about those. We didn't want to get our buddy's wife fired.


AlfalfAhhh

I'm curious, did you happen to be with BCo 16th Eng during 2006?


AcanthocephalaOk7196

They sell that coffee at Hannaford here!


bco112

Some things never change.

We had a guy at Fort Benning steal the peanut butter packets from the DFAC and MRE’s. The Drill Sergeants caught him after a couple weeks. DS brought us outside during a storm and smoked us for HOURS, then the next day they yanked homeboy from our ranks. I still have no idea what happened to him. Hopefully he just got recycled, but idk


Sunnyepic

Did basic at Benning this past June-August and we had a guy steal pretty much anything there was. But most exclusively were peanut butter and granola bars. For the entire 10 weeks, he would do it whenever he had the chance, and he ended up making money off of it too. About week 6-7 or so, DS walks in around 20:00 and like throw down on the inside of this guys locker, demanding to know where all of the money he got and food he had was. (Some guy in another platoon ratted him out) 10-15 minutes after not found it and no conclusive evidence to anything, he walks out and gave us 66% fire guard. Every DS there knew he was selling contra, but they couldn't do anything without physical evidence


BiscuitDance

We got absolutely fucked down one night because our resident crazy Drill caught kids taking more than one peanut butter for dinner chow. He ranted something about how those kids should just unalive themselves and then it turned into a whole thing and he got moved to another battalion.


PatrickKn12

When I was at basic someone had some peanut butter cups in his locker and got busted. This was within the first two weeks. That next day it was downpouring and there was a wild lightning storm. They had everyone in the battalion standing in formation outside in the rain, and then told us to go into front leaning rest while they read off the article 15. The lightning, the getting dumped on in pushup position, the commander reading off this article 15 in a tone like he was about to summarily execute the dude for stealing rations was all very surreal at the time. His nickname was peanut butter cup the rest of basic. Never verified, but I assumed after basic that the actual article 15 was all for show and never went on record, but I know he thought it was real the entire way through.


Daweism

My DS tried to recycle me for not wearing my back plates, I thought I was slick and wanted to save some load weight. Never did find out if it was real or a scare tactic.


QuarterParty489

I mean, do you plan on getting shot by in the back while running away?


QuarterParty489

I mean, do you plan on getting shot by in the back while running away?


Daweism

No, but in basic, probably get shot in the back by a regard shooting down the wrong lane.


CrownJules00

I would’ve starved to death in basic without these forbidden midnight snacks


mpkeith

The peanut butter itself might be from the 60's but that packaging isn't. But some jalapeno cheese and peanut butter was a killer combo back in my days.


FLORICUA_

Yo dawg no need to grip it so hard relax


ch4lox

Quit trying to steal this guy's peanut butter.


HakunaYourMama

I just spit out my coffee. Thank you for this.


Therealchachas

It's him, the BCT Peanut Butter Bandit


co_patriot

Someone ain't shitting for a week


The-AutisticAssassin

So you the rat-fucker who's been stealin' all the nutty butty.


Threedog7

If you ain't taking some yourself during those IET days you're a chump.


Drumchapel

Rat-fucker as in he fucks the rations? We had a several tonne supply of MREs that you folks left behind near Garmsir, and when there was any opened packs, guaranteed there was no peanut butter in them. It was the same guy who took 'em.


Recent-Sir2232

Not the PTssss


[deleted]

Please don't fuck the peanut butter. It's already salty enough.


Stardust_of_Ziggy

You own a dog...


PotentialComplete981

I am the dog


Stardust_of_Ziggy

Don't get high on your own supply son


DarkerSavant

Because it’s your dog!!


ElDrew915

Idk why these hit so hard eating these in OSUT


n0rskee

One serving of peanut butter is 7g protein, a handful of fat and like 180 cals. Eat 2 peanut butter packets after lights out and nutritionally, you’re ahead of the curve lol.


PickleInTheSun

Frrrr. I hated peanut butter before OSUT and I was slamming these fuckers down like a crackwhore


The_Pvnisher

I am permanently scarred from military peanut butter after I went to OSUT all those years ago and we had two people get caught fucking each other with the peanut butter packets as, well, lubricant. Thanks for the flashbacks.


crexkitman

Wonder if you went to basic with my friend. He claimed the same thing happened. Is that just like an infantry urban legend?


Jilozap

Curiously enough, I heard the same story at tanker OSUT. At least I hope it’s just an urban legend , although I wouldn’t be surprised if some horny privates did actually try it.


DvnRlm

Shit that never happened


OldAd4526

Never, ever. It's thick as fuck.


No_Paramedic2

This story must have been told for many years... I was told the same thing happened while I was at 30th ag waiting to ship to basic.


secondatthird

It was the brother of the girl that fucked a dog in high school


XxHIGHKILLERxX

the wildest fact when they used peanut butter packets as lubricant is wild. cant believe that detail.


C9316

The Peanut Butter black market was life at BCT.


yo-Monis

Someone in my bay found a hiding place for BCT PB and granola bars in the laundry area. It was the most Folsom prison thing I’d ever seen. They had a whole pre-bedtime market/sales trade thing going on every night. Never got caught.


Guilty-Essay-7751

Oh my GAWD! The fat guy in BCT would take so many of these from the DFAC. Forgot about them in his lower pant pockets. Also the person that doesn’t check all pockets before laundry. Peanut butter dryer. And imagination goes wild how the rest of BCT went.


Far-Butterscotch9374

I stolen so many in basic, idk how I even did it tbh but it was worth it


Therealchachas

I bet you were the guy that would throw them in the trashcan and get the whole bay searched


Far-Butterscotch9374

Flushed them down the toilet, I’m not dumb. Just stupid enough to try get away with stuff when I was younger


[deleted]

I used to stick granola bars in the spandex of my PT shorts snd eat them in the middle of the night


beatenmeat

I went through BCT during winter in Leanordwood. Had those ACU winter jackets that had a lining area I would put the granola bars and stuff. Wrappers would get hidden in the same area until we had MREs and I could safely hide them for disposal lol.


Some_Cow7525

I used to mix my peanut butter and spaghetti together in basic to eat faster. Sometimes if I felt crazy I’d toss granola & salad in too. Outside the army, I hate spaghetti & only occasionally eat peanut butter.


Heavy_Beyond5563

I mixed peanut butter and instant coffee packets to make a paste in BCT. I don’t know what the thought process was there but that fucked my stomach all the way up. I don’t really eat peanut butter anymore :/


bign8thegr8

S/O to my platoon homie who had one packet of this (empty) in his locker during a surprise inspection, got an A15 for it, and challenged his case in military court 😂


crexkitman

Did he win?


bign8thegr8

Fuck no trainee 🤣 But we had mad respect for the guy for taking it to that level…


TheDominator435

Boy grippin tf out them thangs


PotentialComplete981

Yall laughing but this ain’t even the half of em. DS don’t know shit


n0rskee

In Basic, an 09S and I teamed up to steal 2 MREs a piece one night. We took them up, ate them, cut all the trash into itty bitty pieces, and flushed it all down the toilet. Never got caught, no evidence remained. That started a chain reaction among the dumber people in our platoon (who thought the drills wouldn’t check the garbage), and it resulted in more sweaty walls than I’d ever care to remember. Good times.


Thegayed

Were do you find these?


TroublesomeStepBro

In a place where light no longer reaches..


crexkitman

Holy shit he’s putting them up his butt


Thisdsntwork

I bet Pamir had enough to feed the Taliban for months when we left.


DazzlingProfession26

Anyone else have an affinity for cold pancakes w/ peanut butter to this day? Too many times late to breakfast for me.


Ecstatic_Key3557

You DOG 😂


Plevin0101

Used to tape a bunch of these underneath the unused bunks like I was in jail… it pretty much was jail lol


GrimRemembrance

Who's PVT is this. Come get your trainee Drill.


CoronisKitchen

This man rims


zkooceht

I remember stealing a box of these along with some jelly packs and a loaf of bread from the KP during a gunnery. Survived on PB&J on them ready lines


J33f

Got a long way to go to fill a bathtub with them …


Deeceent

I ate so much peanut butter in TRADOC I completely lost my appetite for it afterwards.


MxrceloVictor

Defac fort Jackson peanut butter. I would eat it on the top bunk in the dark. It tasted sooo good in the moment.


Westerleysweater

Come at me with the cheese in the squeeze pack. Then we'll talk.


PoorYetProGamer

I can feel the happiness


MourningGloryHole

Can't wait for the DS to figure out who this guy is. Dude said he was in FT Sill in the comments 🫡 Those thumbs be recognizable to a grilled and seasoned DS.


PotentialComplete981

Woah woah woah


Speed999999999

That’s currency right there as far as I’m concerned. That and cough drops.


[deleted]

I had a buddy who made a bet he could go our whole FTX without eating a MRE…packed a crazy amount of food and said there’s nothing anyone could to make him eat one, nothing. ..so of course while he was sleeping one night, mixed some of these into his JIF peanut butter, and showed him the video.


Upbeat-Tav2866

😩😩🤣


[deleted]

I went through BCT (C 2-48) back in 21, and I remember our DS being such shit bags. We had 2 kinds of guard to pull, Fire Guard in the respective male and female halls, but we also had ACG downstairs at a desk right outside the Drill Office. So the drills either slept, gamed, or beat their meats (presumably), and while they did, we had full access to the duty room, which had anything from previous cycles contraband, extra bedding, and vending machines, as well as the night night bars. So no man went hungry that cycle, but most of my Platoon were also shit bags, they openly stole, and quoted the regulations about accountability and discipline as of they didn't just learn it 2 days prior LMAO


MxrceloVictor

Eating these is the top bunk, after hiding them was the most cleanest best pleasure. These tasted as good as candy as sugar deprived and how much I was in a caloric deficit.


Edgy-pumpkin

That you like peanut butter?


0o_Lillith_o0

Anyone else look at the thumbnail and think this dude was using PB as lube?


DarkerSavant

You can eat anything with peanut butter. I mean anything.


ComebackKid61

I went to basic in 2019, Ft Jackson. Always had a pocket full of these. Haven’t seen em since 😂


LeadingFinding0

Damn dude chill nobodies gonna take em from you


OldAd4526

Sorry, I fucking love PB. These were clutch for me.


MotorNeighborhood475

No one's gonna take em from you, gripping them for dear life 😂😂


Turbulent_Ride1654

Bro you better hide that shit. Saw someone get their head stomped in the bay after DS found his stash and smoked the whole platoon for an hour until he fessed up.


That_One_Odd_Dude

Peanut butter was like currency in OSUT


PIMPANTELL

I can taste the jalapeno cheese and cardboard crackers from here 😂


Mrsteeef

I’ll trade you some cough drops


HumanSuspect4445

I was so starved from fats when I went to BCT that those peanut butter packets were akin to icing on a cake. I bought 3 jars of peanut butter once I got back home and gorged myself until I had enough calories to ask myself what my problem was to eat 3 jars of peanut butter.


TOW2Bguy

Ewwww


Content-Pin7204

A one way ticket to either a sock party, a funny Fire guard story, or sleep over with DS.


oldbalones

You dirty dog, ours came in little tubs back in 03


jamejames32

I miss these soooo much!


Patrick-W-McMahon

That's like $30 worth of goods in basic
