I think I've seen the one with cheese. I'll let you know if I run into it again. I think they were about $2 can. How many cans did you think you'd want?

I haven't seen the SPAM individual slices yet.

How's it packed? Would it hold up to an MRE ration heater?

Is there an expiration date?

Here's the thread where first posted about the Spam Singles:

viewtopic.php?t=718

I bought a few and opened them up and took pictures. I'll try to get those posted soon. But the short answer is that it's packed in a foil pouch similar to an MRE entree and should hold up to an FRH.

Awesome. Thanks for the pics.

These will be good for those of us who miss our beloved "Ham Slice" MRE. (Curse you, Natick!)

As usual kman, good photos. I'm going to have to look for those locally. They'll be good for quick lunches.
