I wonder if those entrees would be more appealing if they were pouched rather than trayed.

... I was thinking of this pouch :lol:

Those are great pictures, norge. I'm amazed you ate as far into that ration as you did. Again...too bad we don't have "scratch n' sniff" for the web. :-)

Why did you use a MRE spoon?

Great stuff, Norge. Thanks

Nice to see the M&M's.

The Mars Corporation jumped into the former Soviet Union immediately after the fall of Communism and has built a strong market for their candy there. I have read that Snickers and M&M's are very popular now.

Funny, it looks like the corned beef & rice I cooked for my lunch: it tasted OK but looked terrible :lol:
