Yes, I believe it's real. Just before they switched over the Hooah! bars to be "First Strike Bars", they were talking about having two types of Hooah! bars - "Hooah!" bars for the Army and "Ooh-rah!" bars for the Marines. It looks like Wornick decided to save on inventory costs and just printed both slogans on their packaging.

No matter what the packaging...they are nasty!!!! yukkkkkkk :P :P :shock: :shock:
I rather have the ol' enhanced chocolate bars of early MRE's and RCW's..... :roll:
By the way.. this past weekend I opened a ol' Menu B RCW from 91' i got from ebay and its chocolate bars and brownie tasted ten times better than those HOOAH'S... :wink:
Peace!

Yeah, if that Chocolate Hooah! bar is antying like the Chocolate Sports Bar in some other MREs, it's a nasty piece of work. There's chocolate in there somewhere but it mostly tastes like a bar full of chemicals.

Guys,

Hate to tell you it's real as can be....I found a few digging through some opened MRE's and your right they're just down right awful! :oops: I liken them to those original Hershey Power Bars except these ones are like getting a wad of chocolate flavour sawdust and a sore jaw. Why the military spent the time and money on these bars.....IDK. Seems like waste of money.

You know for the life of me I can't figure out why the big 3 MRE manufacturers can't update the powerbars like in the civilian community? I mean, look at how many varieties they are out there besides the original Hershey power bar. Hell even something like a CLIF bar would be nice to see. :)
