First strike ration substitutes?

Post by Stcal1309 » Thu Feb 29, 2024 3:23 pm

Hello all. I ordered a case of First strike rations with a prod date of 2022. Noticed that the menu 1 should have a cheddar bacon breakfast sandwhich, but has been substituted out for a different sandwhich. I got curious and hit youtube, and i can't find a "recent" review where the menu 1 was correct (with no substitution) and has the breakfast sandwhich. Anybody know what's going on with this? I can see it being substituted from time to time, but it seems like a pretty consistent issue. Did they discontinue the item and are just using up the old bags? Any info would be great.

Ps in the case I bought, there were 2 menu 5's and no menu 7.....is a whole meal substitution common?
Thanks for any info yall have.

None of those “sandwiches” are anything to write home about anyway. :lol:

Thanks guys, I figured that was the case. I think most of the sandwhiches are pretty good, just want to try them all lol. Got my first case of normal us rations on the way, cant wait to dig in. Think my next target is a k ration
