No, they don't have "Ham and MF-ers" any more. Two great VietNam Aircav guys I met in Bryant Tx regaled me with a hilarious story about a guy that always got to the rations after everyone else, and used to bitch and moan religiously: "Awwww man, NOT 'HAM-and-MF-ers' AGAIN!!!!". Then one day, he was digging through the food for an unusually long time, and finally exclaimed in exasperation, "Awww, man! I can't believe it! NO 'HAM-and-MFers'!!!

You're probably going to hurl, but I LIKED ham and MF-ers. I heard that some guys found another use for them. The M60 machine gun had a bad habit of jamming if the belt didn't feed in just right. They took a full can of ham and MF-ers and fastened (welded?/brazed?) it to the feed tray. The belt rolled right over the can and fed into the gun without any stoppages.
