Lol so strange.
Article in March said beloved bottles were returning.
Then article comes out about the packets a month later. :lol:

...hopefully they are back for good and let's hope they are less leak prone than the old ones.

Mind you, there's nothing like opening an MRE and being greeted to the smell of a leaked tabasco...... Ahh the memories :mrgreen:
Ha! Nailed it. I opened a menu 9 beef stew this morning to a not-unpleasant foody aroma. The pack is dated 1061 and the Tabasco had indeed leaked. Nothing in the pack seems destroyed, but the Skittles in the commercial packaging have absorbed some of the moisture. The other items in the bag have a very slight tacky feeling.

I've seen reviews of some of the newer menus that seem to have the powdered hot "sauce" so looks like the bottles were only back for a year or so.

I had heard they were bringing them back. Nice to see they have arrived!
