now all they need is for McD's to come up with the Pizza Cheeseburger.

Pepperoni or Hawaiian, anyone?

oops, my bad.. yeah the date codes say 8xxx which means they were probably made in 98 right?
but anyways, how about the ameriqual ones? are they new?

got my hands these four rations recently: http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y159/rationboyd/DSC00218.jpg http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y159/rationboyd/DSC00217.jpg has anyone heard of these? The date codes on them is 4xxx but not sure if this means its '94 or '04. Also, haven't seen the wornick on...

"well honey, it begins when two mature, responsible adult tabasco bottles decide they love each other, and then they..."

or, they could come from here:

[quote="jndallas"]I read all the post and longlifefoods seem to take a beating. They are too high, their shipping is high. What noone bothered to point out is they are the only ones who offer the ice tea (at least as of last night). [quote] dude, just wondering, whats with the drink powder obsession...

medical fees? for what? you gonna get a whoopass from your sarge if you take rations?

found this site on the web, seems they make combat rations for the Singapore Army...

hmm, after sampling another few items in the packs mentioned, it turns out that the differences are limited mostly to the entrees after all. The fruit bars turn out to be the same type of commercial bars wrapped in a retort pouch, the fruits are very similar, and the crackers are well, all crackers....

tasted the second ration (sopakco). just as bad as the ameriqual one :p
ouch!
thanks goodness for the tabasco then

I just had a closer look at the packets, seems that the three different packs are of different "vintages" haha.

The Sopakco is the oldest ('01) followed by the AmeriQual('02), and finally the freshest is the Wornick('03)...

Interesting..

That has to be 80 deg C and 178 deg F? Haha.. don't think anything can take 800 deg C or 1780 F
