>>I actually had an experience with that. I was in the military and out in the middle of nowhere and our rations were 'rationed.' I nibbled on mine to keep mine going and others did not. Everyone was told to make theirs last, but some folks just won't do it. Needless to say after 3 days when no support arrived it was expected by general consensus that I would share mine and if I did not, then there was something wrong with me. I did share my rations, but it always irked me that it was 'expected.'

Ah yes. We all received the same rations initially, but some used their rations up faster than others so those that managed their rations had to give some up for the abusers....
