>>1032177That sounds pretty fucked up for the guy who forgets that and just wants a little gum to suppress his appetite. But I was talking UK ration packs, the gum in them is Wrigley's, the same brand of gum you'd buy any place.
>>1032193As for bulk I don't see what exactly would be so much of an issue. I don't know how american rations are contained but british ones are in foil bags which are more or less flat in profile, pic related is from the iraq/afghanistan stuff back in 2009 and I'm sure they haven't changed since.
I suppose not being dehydrated is not the most efficient but loads of stuff aside from the main meal seems pretty convenient like soup powder, isotonic drink mixture, and they come with waterproof matches and water purification tablets which is neat.
I guess they're a little pricey from what I've seen so far though. I can get 10 of them for £100, which isn't cheap compared to stuff you can prepare yourself. But it's not extortionate.
