Emergency Food Supply - Chocolate Survival Ration - 20 Years Shelf Life - 1 Day

Overall, I'd say it's worth purchasing. There's a fairly pleasant chocolate scent I noticed when opening the vacuum sealed packaging- as you see in the image on Amazon. The plastic wrap on the four individually wrapped "bricks" inside seems cheap, but holds up quite nicely. The long life - the distant expiration date - is very nice. Taste: just like the smell - honestly, it's like chocolate-flavored cardboard. I hate to say that, but that's my best, simplest description I have. It's not bad! A little on the dry side and it crumbles as you bite into it - I'm not complaining, just informing. Sip on some water as you eat it and you're fine. Good taste overall and not at all unpleasant. I can't speak for the nutritional content - I have no way to prove or disprove what they promote. However, as of this review I've purchased this twice, and I will buy at least two more when I get paid. If you're hiking or working out a lot, highly nutritious food is important. Stay hydrated, do your research on food, fluids and nutrition (especially these days... ) and you'll guide yourself towards a better life.

I think the taste and texture is great! This is a dry snack crunchy, delicious and satisfying. Easy to stash in your back pack, Very pleased I will order more.

Ordered the chocolate flavor and it was surprisingly decent. Not terrible at all. Overall it tasted like a bland and dry chocolate shortbread cookie. It is a bit crumbly and dry so have a drink when you eat them. The seal was intact and felt solid. The overall size fits in the palm of your hand and easily fits in a pocket. Literally something you can fit in any bag for emergencies. The only real disappointment is it’s only 1125 calories. So you’d actually need 2 packages to get a full days calories. Might be best as a supplement rather than a true emergency ration by itself. This is why I’m giving 4/5 stars. Everything else it checks off great.

Expensive but it absolutely do the job. oh wait, this is not self-defend tool! taste very ok, good size brick

Taste fine, packaging is great, just a heavier load of seed oil than my overly sensitive stomach likes to handle...

No long term storage ration bar is good, none are tasty. The need for shelf-stable long term storage makes that basically impossible. But these are the best ones I've eaten yet, the synthetic chocolate flavor isn't bad and distracts you from the texture well enough to get them down without dwelling on what you're eating. Cause if it's enough of an emergency to break out the lifeboat rations you need the nutrition more than anything else.

I dont really do product reviews, but I agree, this is smaller than expected, more like a survival snack not a ration, and didnt even know it comes from or made in china, would never wanna eat anything made there especially now, im not even sure whats actually all in this or if the ingredients are true, if id buy a survival ration thats suppose to help me in the future i wouldnt want it to be made in china ever, i atleast opened one to try it out but if i would of known i would of just spent my money on mainstay rations instead

I think its a great light weight addition to my pack!
