The D ration was basically a bitter chocolate bar with a high melting point. The bar was deliberately de-sweetened to discourage soldiers from snacking on them.

One example of this is the infamous D ration emergency chocolate bar from WW2 which has evolved into the modern granola/energy bar in every gas station you walk into.

Reading “Combat Ready Kitchen” by Anastasia Marx and it’s all about how the development of military rations has shaped what we buy in the grocery store today. #books

I wrote this article! 🙂
This is IMO one of the biggest discoveries of the year, but you haven’t heard about it bc of a NASA press release/embargo stuck bc of the shutdown. I however have no such constraint (we’re tracking it in radio but haven’t finished the paper) so got to write about it! 🔭🧪
