Surely the order would be the other way around - condensed milk and lemon juice.

Torpedo juice - or alcohol - and fruit punch.

Correct! Well, as far as we can tell.

The milk that is being poured in the video I am familiar with.
But our Subsim research intern says that the can matches this:

and that says condensed milk. I guess it is unsweetened condensed milk...?

No idea why a U-boat would have condensed milk aboard, maybe for making cakes?
I can see why they would have evaporated milk, just add 50% water and you have milk (but not very tasty milk).

Good call, Steve!

Next Subsim Trivia question will surface within 12 hours or less. Usually less.

Don't forget to ask your shipmates if they are jealous while you drink it.

Water is best left for the batteries and not powdered milk. Condensed milk would be better for cakes.

And in the US Fleet Boats? What was the cocktail? (Really I don´t know the answer; the ice cream was a hit, but...).

Regards.

Why would there be one? That was either made up for the book, or more likely just like in the movie one guy did that and gave it that name. The PT-boat guys made "bug juice", or "torpedo juice" made from torpedo alcohol as described earlier, but there may not have been and "official" coctail for either US subs or u-boats. It's all just sailors doing their thing.

Exactly - just like the aft torpedo room jokes........ far, far away from the control room.
Could probably make some fruit cocktail ferment but where could you hide it?

Happy Hunting!
