Emergency bars, emergency rations...

You know what I mean. Those dry vacuum sealed compressed bars. What's easy to get?
Are they all just basically flour and fat and minerals and stuff?
I'm asking because I got this SF-9 (viewtopic.php?f=4&t=7508) and it contains raisins and apricots (look at the photo in the thread, click on it to zoom in)
I want to open it and taste it, but I'd like some reference bars
So, what are the standard ones that "most people" would know what they taste like or that are easy to get?
I've never tried ANY emergency bar, ever, but so far I've found these to seem popular:
German NRG-5

Norwegian "BP-5" and "Seven Oceans"
http://www.gcrieber-compact.com/product ... -products/
US Datrex. Both "White" and "Blue" seem to have identical ingredients and energy value, just different number of bars per pack???

So are there any obvious ones I missed and are there any easily obtainable ones that contain fruit?
