i've been buying MRE's from a Miltary surplus store and when i open them up the tabasco sauce is bad... and since i buy the Mexican style stuff this really ticks me off. its only the tabasco sauce... anybody else have this problem?
(GODDDDD)
you'vegot tp be kidding me
Hi Gmz1023. Wow, that's some pretty bad luck with the tobasco sauce. Maybe all 9 were from similar cases that had been stored poorly.
The tobasco sauce quality seems to be hit or miss lately. I could probably go open up any 1991-1999 MRE and the tobasco sauce would be still be good (and in the bottle). It might be a little dark, but it would still do the trick.
But it seems around 2003, they must have started manufacturing the tobasco sauce bottles differently because I started running into a bunch where the tobasco had escaped from the bottle. I think part of it has to do with the way they shrinkwrap the tobasco label over the bottle - the top must be able to work itself loose either before it gets put into the accesory pack or shortly afterwards.
The problems seem to have gotten a little bit better lately but I'm still finding the occasional tobasco bottle only half-full.
