As advertised, thanks.

Actually, these are pretty excellent. Good taste. Dry, but only takes a normal amount of liquid to quench your thirst after.

Only downside is they are too thick to easily eat and they don't cut well at all. But I would say this is probably all you need to backpack for a month or more. Weighs about 35 pounds for the case though. You'd need ziplocs to keep the partial bars in after opening,because you AREN'T going to eat one entire package in one go. Might take a day and a half.

They are good for what they are. Unless you happen to stumble across some cheap cans of spam at costco or the dollar store this is a cost effective way to store some doomsday calories.

These food bars, sold by Always Be Prepared, were drop shipped directly from the factory the day they were ordered. They were current month production and should be good for the next five years.

They have the consistency of thick shortbread cookie, with a single 400 calorie serving being about 2 inches square and an inch and a half thick. The mild taste is similar cinnamon-apple.

I've tried other emergency bars and prefer the taste of Mayday's product. Yes, I did do a three day test with one 3600 calorie bag, along with water. Not high cuisine, but it was fine.

My nitpicks about this product are that the Mylar bag they are vacuum packaged in is not resealable, so have a baggie handy to protect the unused portion from contamination. You'll need a knife or scissors available as package is near impossible to open by hand. Also, though each bar is scored for its nine servings I would prefer they were pre-cut as they tend to crumble a bit when cut, again requiring a knife be on hand.

For a garage backup supply, this is great. I tried one and I could imagine not hating life eating them.
