Hello again!
I got case of MCW:s and since I never had these before lets try them together!
Image
Packet feels much lighter than regular mre:s, everything is freeze-dried I guess. But lets see...
Image
From Left to right, first there is main meal. Freeze dried chicken.
Image
Pouch is hard as rock, just add hot water. And what is 16 ounces in litres? And that is.....hmmm...lets see.... 16us fl oz = 0.47318L... says the allmighty internet!
Big meal, almost half kilos of water and 150g this dried stuff. Over 500g food in here!
Up and left there is cool ice cream sandwich, is this like those astronaut ice creams?
Image
This baby is light, 28g....
Left and down is Fig bar? Totally new to me, energy bar thing maybe?
Image
In middle there is Lemon-Lime flavored, no-fruit juice. Thank god, no real fruit were harmed to make this juice..... :shock:
Image
Last there is huge pouch, chocolate dairyshake powder. This baby weights 100g and with 6 oz (0,177l) water there is 0,277l drink.....
Hmmm, sounds quite dense dairyshake.... :? But we will see that later.
Image

To Be Continued!!!!!!!!! Stay in tune! :P

Here we go again!
Yes, dessert sandwich was on my top priority. This is my first time than I see or eat freezedried ice cream.
Image
To my surprise, that was actually very nice. Whole cookie/ice cream thing was crunchy and delicious.
Ice cream was vanilla flavored and placed between two chocolate cookies. Very unusual stuff.....
Image
I found similar thing from internet, AMNH Shops sells these at 4.99$. Pricey.

Ok, next in line was Fig Bar, had no idea what to expect.
Image
Ordinary biscuit with sweet filling.
It was just nice, very soft and crumbly. Littlebit cinnamon flavour in the filling. Just good with morning-coffee.
Commercial counterpart maybe:

one of my favorite sayings...." A pint's a Pound, the world 'round..."

16oz- 1pint. Find a pint can, fill with water, best measuring device around... :wink:

They also do the Astronaut brand, and some freeze dried stuff for MCWs. Hence my statement.

Next in list is drinks, chocolate drink first.
I made It as instructed, used very little water. ( 6 oz)
Image
That was almost like meal itself, veeerrryyyy thick and creamy.
Image
One of the best chocolate drinks ever! :wink:

"Lemon/Lime no fruit whatsoever" drink in other-hand was just another plain tasting thirst remover.
Did that just fine. Enough said.
