Exactly what they are advertised as.
These are for survival only. You are not supposed to live on these. You can not continuously eat these because they contain oils that keep the eater from needing water. That all being said, I have a bunch of these. They are full of calories, they are easy to carry and they are perfect for a 72-hour small bugout bag. I have these, a few bags of water and a few essentials in the bag in my car. It is enough for three days or a few more if need be.These bars fill you up. Once you open the pack you need to use it. They will go bad a lot faster then if you leave them sealed. The bars have a ton of calories so you only need to eat one square at a time. These do not have the best taste but if you are in such an emergency they do what they need to do. The main selling point of these are the size. They are a lot smaller than most marine bars.These work. They do exactly what they say. They are not for everyday consumption. They are only for if you don't have food and are in an emergency situation. You don't eat these every day and you don't eat them for days at an end. There is a reason why you get three days' worth. After three days you can continue to eat them but you take a greater chance of becoming unwell. I have eaten them for a day with no adverse effects. They do fill you up.These bars are exactly what they are advertised as. I will be buying more once my other bars go out of date. The size alone make these a must buy. Yes they don' taste the greatest but they will save your life.

Well then who would thought emergency food would be disgusting?
I spent 3 weeks in Russia and the food was simply terrible but edible. Can you think of one dish that Russia is famous for because it is really good? A dish that has migrated from Russia to other countries? No, you cannot. You think of Borscht but it is known because ONLY Russia produces it and not one other country has a variation of it. I might add, it is not something I have eaten since leaving Russia and did not really enjoy it when I ate it there.So, here we are. Russia has given us its emergency food ratios to try. Think this through because I got caught up in the moment and failed to address the obvious. The country that has no great or even mostly good food has decided to share its emergency ratios with the world. Yes, it is obvious now that there was no possible way this could end well.So, I am just going to jump to the punchline. These ratios smell like Crisco that has long ago past its useful life and they taste like soap. Yes, the "getting your mouth washed out" soap. Perhaps in Russia old Crisco and soap are a delicacy. I would not put it past them. However, I warn you, My Fellow American, regardless of the price or the intrigue of having Russian ratios, you will NOT eat these. Not under any circumstances!! Not if you have been in the woods for 3 weeks without any food and you think these will save your life They won't!

Well If You're Really Starving...
I was wrong. There actually is something worse than starving to death. And that is eating these bars. Comprised from flour sugar, and fat, they look like soap. Each vacuum pack contains three bars and there are three o packs included. The texture is grainy and somewhat dry. It has an odd odor like shortening on the verge of turning. Very bland, they have almost no flavour. They are goid for five years. And should you actually be caught in a zombie apocalypse you will most definitely not be tempted to consume all these bars at once...or at all.the food. Instructions are in English and presumably Russian. They warn not to drink sea water. I will reserve my final pack and update in five years to report whether they improve with age.

Is this how they are going to control the election?!?
Is this stuff even legal for me to own? It is very strange receiving a tightly packed block of material packed in shrink wrapped foil wrapping that looks like a block of C4 with Russian writing all over it. It is really weird. I didn't know what to make of this. I thought an MRE would be like an american one with the food you cook and all the different little things to eat. This is a solid block of god knows what. It says it's "main components" are wheat flour, sugar and fats. No idea if this is safe to eat and no clarification what organizations certified the safety of what's inside. Does the FDA monitor stuff like this? Does the USDA know what's in here? This thing comes with 3 foil-wrapped bricks. Each brick contains 3 separate pressed layers of stuff, each identical to the next. They look like a pressed rectangle of white-yellowed wax with some seeds mixed in there, and each layer is about the size of an iphone 3. Despite it's dubious makeup and questionable content, I took some bites. At first, it tastes a little sweet. The texture is a little grainy but not bad. After that initial taste of slight sweetness, comes nothing. It is utterly flavorless. I kept taking nibbles expecting to taste something so I could adequately tell you what this tastes like, but it is nothing.I mean, if you need some tightly packed waterproof small sized blocks of calories for a trip, this is an excellent choice. It will sustain you in an emergency situation and is shelf stable for 5 years. It isn't flavorful or good in any way, but it is edible despite not knowing what's in it. Good luck in the apocalypse everyone!
