Emergency Food Ration Bars, Mushroom Flavor Survival Energy Bar Supply for Outdoor Camping Emergency Snowstorm Earthquake Disaster Preparedness Kit with 20 Years Long Self Life, 120g/bar

Bought one to try, will be buying more. Lions main flavor(excellent) tried out of package plain, lots of crumbs and with hot water, made more of a porage meal(recomended) two individualy wraped "biscuits" to a bag, ate both and feel satisfied.

I purchased these purely out of curiosity - for a long time I've been wondering when someone would create a truly generic "nutrient bar". Something like Soylent in the form of a bar; sort of bland and enriching, without any conspicuous flavor. These seemed like a promising candidate.Honestly, they are close. They are not a nutrient bar by any stretch - these are pretty much all about the energy needed to survive. I wouldn't want these as a meal replacement bar. However, I think they'd make a great quick energy bar while hiking, backup meal for my laptop bag, or an emergency ration bar for my car, the sort to keep you going in a difficult situation. In flavor, as others have said they are basically a shortbread cookie, a blander, milder, drier, somewhat crumbly shortbread cookie. However, they have a mild savory undertone - so a shortbread cookie made with beef tallow or ghee or something like that. They are modestly sweet. I think they could have used a little bit of salt, maybe to turn of the savoriness just a hair, to make it easier to survive on these for more than 24 hours.They are dry and crumbly, but surprisingly I didn't find myself parched when eating one - I could easily eat it without any liquid, though I'd probably want some after the fact. Easy to bite into, chew, and swallow, but durable enough that they don't just dissolve on contact with your fingers, they only break up once you bite into them.In terms of digestion; I have had no issues after two bars, and a family member reports the same after one bar. I didn't feel bloated, and felt no discomfort otherwise, it didn't interfere with anything. I did feel satiated - really satiated after eating one, but the family member did not report the same. They may have been more active than I was that day. I was wary about trying Chinese ration bars, and will try to find an equivalent bar made in the US, but so far these are fine.I would prefer to find some which are individually vacuum sealed; these come 4x to a vacuum sealed pack, which is enough for a day's energy at 400 kiloCal per, but that doesn't really work if you just need one in the midst of a hard hike. The vacuum-sealed pack was very durable and felt tough and secure. The bars are individually wrapped in a clear plastic envelope, which is about enough to keep the water and dust off them and keep them separable from each other.The price is too high. You can get these bars (individual, not four-pack) for about $0.60 apiece through other suppliers. If you want to actually store these for emergency rations for yourself or your family, I would recommend going with a different route. However, if you just want to try a pack to see how they taste, this is fine.Broadly; would recommend for short-term, non-critical emergency rations. Maybe they would be suitable also for critical need, but I don't know enough about them to say one way or the other. I would not go with these for my emergency food reserves at the house, there I'd keep canned goods and self-stable foods instead.

A easily to grab emergency food while on boat or driving a semi-truck. Keeps for years at time great to give to the homeless before the due date gives out.The whole point of haveing it is to make sure you do not get into a situation like after natual disaster, stuck a sea, stuck while driving across the southwest and braking down in the middle of nowhere.

Like Graham crackers but more yummy like a nilla waferI tried 3 different kinds by three different brands so far and this ones my favoriteFor the taste and for the priceI will say A++Also it is compressed better and packaged tighter more than others wasy to store more than others i boughtI will definitely want more of these in the future as long as they stay at the 10 dollar or under priceBut personally i believe these guys could get away with selling it from 15$ if you get someone like me who falls for the taste like i didI for real had to go get some milk to eat em with, honestly get em for a snackIf youre into body building and working out they are great to gain calories with for sure

Haven’t tried them but I’m sure they will be handy in case of emergency!

Not a lot of flavor, but not bad.

Don't know how to rate this. My fault for not checking how much I got. Since it's for emergencies I can't tell you how it tasted. I think it was too expensive for what I got.

Can't speak to the taste because I haven't used it yet, but it's stored away for an emergency.
