As long as it remained a fart sack over a shart sack everything was A-OK!

Re: German EPa Box Size

Quite a nice photo spread and the translator does a pretty decent job for your review too. I know that Lemon Dessert really takes your breath away but making those sesame bars into a crumble or the cookie things I had and that really helped to balance it out. Thanks for sharing G!!

YouTube Vids

This might not be the exact thread for thi but what the hey. Just was curious to know if any of you ration reviewers that post to YouTube have been noticed out and about in public and what the responses you getor any funny or silly stories.

Re: Time to say good bye...

Interesting I got to eat several of those when I was stationed in Germany in 90-91. Might be fun to take a trip back down memory lane.

Re: Electric kettles?

Here's the kettle I use, however I just use it for boiling water not heating stuff but it's a cheap yet effective kettle, maybe you could get two for this price one for drinking and one to boil rations in?

Re: Ration Reviewer or Critic??

Thanks! That's exactly why I got into this hobby too. Wish I had a larger budget to explore more but this has led me to some outstanding business opportunities not to mention the friendships and camaraderie within the community. Virtually drama free which is exceedingly rare.

Ration Reviewer or Critic??

Here's an interesting topic I have been asked at least several thousand times is what is the best and worst ration I've ever had and why don't I have a rating system. The reason I don't use ratings is everyone's palate is different from everyone elses. I'd hate to bias someone from buying something ...

Re: Favourite ration beverage?

These are my favorite hands down! With the Dutch Hot Chocolate drink in a close 2nd place. I prefer the GIMSOY stuff as it's a substantial amount at a half liter (500 ml/16.9 oz) of refreshing and hydrating fluid.
