Well you had to do something with the gum. If you tried to chew it you'd spend a couple days at dental.

Cocoa I used to make grunt moca with it Cocoa coffee and creamer .

Did you ever get to go to Alpine Warrior in Mn and Alaska? THe Cold Weather rats were unique....had them while in Norway too during Northern Wedding/Bold Guard '86

Camp Ripley Mn 20 miles from no where and cold as a witches .......Well you know. Never went to Norway though but I heard all "and there I was draggin the poke across a fjord when......" sea stories. The cold weather rats were indeed different.

The eggs were horrible....the nuts and raisins were close to real and I like the granola bar....

What the!!!!!!!!! No body likes to eat CRPs it is a matter of having too. So I dont and will not have a favourite ration pack menu as they are all crap. The MREs you guys are raving about are just as bad as our CRPs. Like I said its a matter of having to eat them not because you like them cos you dont have a choice.

YUCK,YUCK and more bloody YUCK

Stand Down Digger. We , if you look at the posts from those of us who had to subsist on MRE's were not singing their praises. We were discussing which was the best if you hadto eat them. We were also smashing them pretty hard.

Hulk I thought the energy (granola bar) tasted like sawdust the Cold Ration were kinda forgetable course it's been almost 20 years. Wasn't there some kinda of concrete chocolate bar?

Lil Hulk 1988 · September 29th, 2004

The energy bar and granola bar ARE different (had to live on these things for awhile) Used to trade the "chocolate bar" to Newbies for their spaghetti, most took the bait at least once.....

And Scott it is a discussion of the hatred of eating these things over and over and over again for extended periods of time.

03, BTW: the drink powder wasn't bad in the LRP/MCW meal, just don't let it sit in a canteen cup, it corroded it horribly...
