Who knew food rations could be edible, and even taste pretty good? :-)
TASTE/TEXTURE:
I tried one, and it is basically a VERY DENSE, thick, mildly sweet short bread. It is very filling and the taste is very mild.
GOOD FOR EMERGENCY:
These rations would serve very well for an emergency situation, especially since they can probably withstand extreme temperatures, at least a lot better than many other foods would. Great food to keep in the car. Like the description says, they don't make you feel like you need a drink, amazingly enough.
EASY TO OPEN/ZIP CLOSE:
It has a top than you tear off, (no scissors or knife needed to open, and it opens very easily for me, who is a person who often has a hard time opening things), and it has a zip close.
SERVINGS/SIZE:
It's basically a brick that breaks into 6 pieces, each piece is a serving. Recommended at least 2 servings per day, I believe. I included a couple pics, next to a soda can for size reference (I had no clue how big they were gonna be before I bought them).
