You laugh about "Puppy chow". I can remember a boy scout camping trip (I was a tenderfoot at the time) where my patrol leader ate a milk bone on a dare - he said they were pretty tasty, that the "Plain" were fairly good, the liver were yuck, the beef OK - he ate about 1/2 the box - and the dare was for 1
So I guess Milk Bone dog biscuts...
When I was in Little League, (my son would say "back before electricity" or something), our baseball coach gave us each a Milk Bone before a playoff game... they were supposed to make us mean and nasty...

I can't recall if we won or not, just remember that we were all surprised that the dog biscuit was not really that bad.
