That's a good point. For most situations, I would agree, however, I'm curious if this is true for Martin's MRE's? The metallic layer of the retort pouch is supposed to be gas impermeable, which is primarily why it's there (and why you can't microwave the pouches).

Anyone ever eat an MRE that smelled or tasted like gasoline, diesel, etc.?
