jack rations
Jack rations are the fancy snacks you bring when you're too lazy to eat the soggy old tins the army gives you. Think lollies, chocolate, and anything that doesn't taste like it was buried in a dirt hole for 10 years.
I brought 12 lollies and a bag of chips. The army rations are like punishment.
Jack rations are the only thing keeping me from punching my sergeant.
I’d rather eat a lolly than that stinkin’ meat in a tin.
