Watch out!!!

Post by housil »

This:

http://cgi.ebay.de/SURVIVOR-EPA-Typ-1-T ... dZViewItem

is called EPA by the seller, but this is NOT genuine German Army!!!! :shock:

All the items are regular supermarket stuff!!!!
Just another try to make money out of the word EPA. (btw, the correct abbrevation is EPa, not EPA)

The word EPA isn´t a trademark, you can call everything "EPA". It´s like MRE, that means also just "meal ready to eat". You can call every convenienced food "ready-to-eat-meal" also (I guess)

Hey Oli,

Well, at least these "EPa's" are packaged better than the other copies that you've showed me.

By the way how is everything?!

i have to correct you: "MRE" is a trademark now....

only "meal-ready-to-eat" isnt one.

its nearly the same. the mainmeals are from the same producer - only best before date than the production date, the bread WILL NOT STAY THAT LONG as the bundeswehr (german army) ones in alu cans. all other are commercial items too.
