I imagine the smoothie is considered a snack, not a drink. I imagine if they were handed out you would also receive a few bottles of water. Excellent review. 👍👍👍

I think I could find a way to heat the main even if I just put it in the engine compartment of my truck.

Very cool amigo. I tried the A Packs, A few Yrs. ago. Not bad, but nothing special either. Most civilian rations are lightweight. They serve the purpose, indeed. Smoothie is different. Components look good. FRH, par for the course these days. I have to try one next time, to break my curse of dud FRH'S, LOL. In survival situations, this would be A blessing, agreed. Glad you had some fun with this ration, even if not gourmet food. It would work in A bad situation, and be A life saver. Peace from Ky. Stay safe, John.
