Weird MRE Beverage base?
Weird MRE Beverage base?
Today I had 2016 MRE Beef Ravioli and everything was normal except Cranberry Grape beverage base,SUGAR FREE.
i already experienced several MRE SUGAR FREE Varients (like lemonade,orange,grape...) and no problems so far,
but this one is different,it tastes like chemical and extreme tartness tortured my tongue.
does anyone had similar experiences?

I love that flavor and would buy them if I ever found them for sale. You can get all the other flavors but it seems they are the only ones that make this flavor.

That's the best flavor (imo) by far. I'm just not a fan of calorie free or ersatz in a survival ration. What were they thinking?? There isn't even any vitamin C (ascorbic acid) included, which would at least offset the lack of any food value.

That and the lemonade are the best ones, lucky find

Reminds me of the time I ate a dry lemonade drink mix powder, my taste was screwed for days lol.

Interesting! I hadn't seen that flavor yet. The raspberry and lemonade ones aren't too bad. I've got a ton of unopened accessory packets, I'll have to dig through them to see if I can find one.
