Cool - thanks for the link! Too bad it's not available as a Buy-it-Now.

Are they packed in regular paper bags? What would be the shelf life? Similar to MRE's?

That item has been replaced with Split Top Loaf Bread and DSCP has that listed as having a 2 year shelf-life. I guess in eBay terms that is probably interpreted as being around 10 years.

I have the wheat (not white) bread.

They came in an ordenary card board box:

This boxes contained:

four paper bags

Each bag:

12 single packed breads, same as the MREs wheat snack bread

Early brown MRE bread snack

Anyone knows the exact difference between wheat and white bread?! Or is it just the name?!

I decided to eat one for supper!

The taste was not better or worse than a “fresh” one. Just a little bit strange

Thanks - great pics! I always thought those "Fresh Pax" were kind of chewy and tough to get down. :-)
