I opened it and also noticed that the meals w...

QR codes? Sounds interesting, post a pic

Great review! I'm sure just swiping a UV light underneath it a few times would of cleared that stuff right up, Bon Appétit!

That ham was, honestly though, the most scariest thing you've opened up on camera. I can't even imagine the smell that thing must of had.
