There are a couple other flavors for the Millennium bars, like Orange if I recall. I have been using them for hiking, and I have a bunch in each car for backup. They actually taste pretty good to me, but, I'm usually eating one when I am on a trail taking a break from hours of hiking, so that may affect my perception on quality and taste grin

Any earlier post mentioned the Survival GP-I ration. They were designed to be an ejection seat ration for the USAF. They are supposed to keep you alive for 5 days under all survival conditions.(That's pretty open ended eh?) The Natick Army Labs are up here in Massachusetts, and they test all this stuff in some pretty amazing simulated conditions. My brother worked there for a while... oh the stories about the stuff that didn't work out... I'd tell you, but, then I'd have to kill you wink

I'm at a loss. MRE's, dead moose, and Thanksgiving dinner are all edible. Where the hell does fruit cake come in?

First Strike Rations.

Weird, First Strike Rations are meant to be high density energy rations. In the video, you can spot Fat Free Mayonnaise crazy.

Apparently Kraft make a Fat Free Mayonnaise Dressing for fat people. Could it be the same stuff?

Where are the pringles and Slimfast milk shakes when you need them.

BTW what ever happened to the ration the folks from Natick developed, that you could urinate on to rehydrate. Must of been a salty affair. sick

You use pieces of the fruit cake for ammo in your improvised slingshot to kill the moose.

OBG,

That can be interpreted in many ways....

Nonetheless, you need help...

"...you need help..."

That is a given, but has nothing to do with fruitcake...
