I've never tried something like this before. It's very interesting, almost like an adult food lucky bag.

The heater packs on US MREs specifically say to lean it against a rock. I would be happy to send Clive a couple for testing/tasting. I'll make sure to include one of the chicken dinners that smells worse than wet cat food. The black bean and rice is pretty good.
2017-10-04 02:23:51 +0000 UTCWhen I was trying US MREs, I found that tilting the heating pack around 30-40 degrees helped avoid overheating the floor or table surface and simplified the venting of the gasses. And now I'm getting hungry.... :)

2017-10-01 00:32:17 +0000 UTCI've commented to Steve1989 that I'm convinced the Zombie Apocalypse is going to be caused by someone on YouTube opening an old ration and releasing something unholy from one of those cans.
2017-09-30 23:34:14 +0000 UTCI can't help but imagine Ashens watching this and cringing as he tends to hate these kind of things, especially the texture of the main meal. However I'll eat anything and the camouflage chocolate bar really sells it to me, although I would worry about putting it down and losing it as chocolate is probably one of the worst things to lose. Very impressed with the prep on this one Clive, Blue Peter would be proud.

2017-09-30 21:44:27 +0000 UTCThe chocolate won't melt at normal transport temperatures. They modify the recipe to make them melt at high temperatures. The Hershey company similarly modified the recipe for their Hershey bars during WW2 so they could send them to fighting US soldiers in hot areas.

2017-09-30 21:43:40 +0000 UTCYes, this is the exact warmer used in US MREs. They used to be a cardboard sachet in the bag and you could remove it, break it up, and put it in a soda bottle to make a nice bang sound. Now the smaller non-woven textile pouches don't pack as much of a bang so you need a smaller bottle. The warmer is actually producing a bit of hydrogen gas.
