We DID have real bleach though which made for a great bargaining chip. When I was in Iraq in 2004, one week in early October, I believe it was, supposedly about 3000 ears of corn went missing from the supplies of our camp mess hall. That's only maybe 1 or two night's worth. Just around the beginning of December of that year one of the folks from another engineering battalion there with us invited a few of us over to their battalion motorpool dispatch. What was offered was held in thick glass jars that formerly held some type of industrial solvent. It was pure grain alcohol and the instant it touched my lips my face went to fire then almost numb. Great stuff.
