Well - how does it taste? I can't help notice the lengthy ingredients list. It even includes "Wheat Snack Bread Premix".

I swear, all the new items are just the old ones re-packaged into new stuff. "SSDS" aka same $&@t, different sauce".

I actually quite like the Wheat Snack Item, with PB & J...but they can't really call it bread simply based on its shape... :lol: They did try to mold it into some sort of bread slice shape configuration. I don't think it fooled anyone. LOL. Snack bread just has this weird flavor, texture & gnarly a...

Later iterations, they aren't much different than cardboard. I thought those orange Cheese-It style crackers were ...

Wilson's Meat Bar - now there's a blast from the past. Colin Fletcher, considered to be the "father" of backpacking, was a big fan of these. He hiked the length of California in the 1950s subsisting largely on these, and mashed potatoes & "gravy" made with dehydrated soups. Maybe it tasted better th...
