TOTMs

I recently scored a case of TOTMs off of eBay. They were fairly fresh with a date packed of "7225" (August, 2007). Here are some pictures:


I haven't tried one yet but they look pretty much like MREs with just a little less food. Here's the official DSCP page on them:

and these are the current menus from Sopakco (where my case came from):

It's interesting that despite having all the same parts as an MRE, the inspection date is only 18 months after the date packed, not 36 months like with MREs.
