My favorites are the Russian and British ones.
Least favorite ones are Spanish and French.

Gotta love those Brits for packing a ton of (good) drinks in their ration. I hate it and don't understand it when there are no drinks, not even an isotonic or coffee.

Definitely the ORP drinks. I love how mild, natural, and not overly-sweet they are. Also, I have always been impressed with the British focus on hydration in general. Their rations are always drink-heavy, which makes sense when it comes to keeping a working force hydrated.
My least favorite? US (fake and overly sweet) Spanish and French (just weird).

Really see that trend with the ORP drinks for favorites and really seeing the "bad" with french and Spanish!
I just tried for the first time the US MRE Sugar Free "Lemonade" beverage base. It was probably the best I've had out of a US ration for straight up beverage base powder. A lot like crystal light if your from the states.

To me the worst are the US "carbohydrate electrolyte" ones. They taste like "salty soap"rareauldmealtimes wrote: ↑Tue Apr 28, 2020 1:45 pmReally see that trend with the ORP drinks for favorites and really seeing the "bad" with french and Spanish!
