In the original novel and film, Hawkeye is given to frequently uttering "finest kind" as a catchphrase, and throughout the latter, he produces a distinctive whistle (which is appropriated by Radar O'Reilly at the film's end). The whistle does not carry into the television program, however, Hawkeye in the first episodes of season one and two does use the phrase, "Finest Kind," referring to their homemade gin (in the season 4 episode, "Dear Peggy", the term refers to Hawkeye himself). In "The Interview" the phrase is used to refer to the entire staff of the 4077th. The phrase is not used often and is more of a hat tip towards the movie and novel.

It ties for my second favorite flavor (chocolate is first, then bacon and peppermint, depending on the time of day).

Let's all shout BACON!!
