Popcorn Flavour Emergency Food, High Energy Biscuits, 6,048 kcal

Good for emergencies

I've made this review after concern that every other was a Amazon vine/ free sample review, and wanting to make sure that my purchase was worthwhile. Having purchased packs of the Seven Oceans emergency bars and then needing replacements (they expired after 10yrs) I came across these. The idea of a somewhat sweet treat (tasting) emergency ration bar that isn't the standard vanilla/plain block was appealing and seems to be the case. The bars have a mild popcorn flavour. Sitting in my warm house I'd rather have store bought biscuit, but while stuck broken down on the side of the road, in a power cut or suffering an episode of hypoglycemia these are a palatable alternative. I wouldn't say they're like shortbread nor are they like a digestive, they're soft enough to break apart or bite into but they're also dense like Cobham armour on the challenger 2. The packaging is fine, they arrived intact (at least the one I've eaten), aren't super crumbly to the point it causes a mess like a croissant. The 12 portions are individually airtight wrapped and then the two bars are also shrink wrapped so easily unopened ones are throwable into a backpack. Best before dates are 2046, which may outlast me. The quality of the manufacturing and air sealing process and how long they last is impossible to say, though the airtight pouches do seem to be well done though the cardboard shipping box could become penetrable/worn with age or environment. In all, they're a good alternative to the seven oceans brand, the packaging past the outer cardboard box seems more weather resistant and they feel like they're a tad more expensive (though I bought my last long life bars circa 2015 so it's hard to say) but I'm going to keep them for in my cars, camping and one in the backpack for low blood sugars.

These are essentially very calorie-dense emergency biscuits, with 12 individually wrapped 120g packs in the box. Each pack contains 504 kcal, giving the advertised 6,048 kcal for the whole box. They’re individually sealed in foil packs and have a claimed shelf life of 20 years, which makes them very easy to put away with emergency supplies and forget about. They’re also compact enough to keep in a car, backpack or camping kit, and because they’re ready to eat they don’t depend on having cooking equipment or even water available. Obviously I had to sacrifice one in the interests of actually reviewing what they taste like rather than simply staring at the packaging for the next two decades. The popcorn flavour is actually quite nice. The texture is dry and crumbly and reminds me of a slightly funky shortbread. I wouldn’t particularly choose one as an everyday snack, but that’s really not what they’re intended for, and for something designed primarily to provide a lot of energy in a compact, long-lasting form they’re perfectly palatable. I like that the packs are individually wrapped rather than having to open the entire supply at once. That also makes it easy to distribute them between different emergency kits or take a couple on a hike without disturbing the rest. At £38 a box, they work out at around £3.17 per 504 kcal pack, so they certainly aren’t cheap if you compare them with ordinary biscuits or snack bars. The value for money really comes down to whether you need the specialist features you’re paying for: compact high-energy food, individual sealed packs and, most importantly, the claimed 20-year shelf life. As everyday food they’d be poor value, but as something intended to sit in an emergency kit for years I think the price is more understandable. The slightly unnerving part is the 20 year shelf life. At my age, I’m not accustomed to buying snacks whose long-term prospects may be better than mine. Still, one of us is going to make it to the best-before date, and I’m quietly rooting for both of us. Overall, these seem well suited to what they’re actually intended for: compact, ready to eat emergency calories that can sit in storage for years and still be reasonably pleasant to eat when needed.

When you get something that's an emergency ration it feels a bit odd to be trying it so you can review it, rather than putting it away for said emergency, but I have. Each bar is individually wrapped in an easy open bag(?) and all in all don't take up much room. Once you open a packet the 'biscuit' is wrapped in a further bit of shrink wrap. It crumbles very easily and has a biscuit texture, a bit like shortbread, to it. Surprisingly, the flavour isn't too bad either. It has a bit of a popcorn taste, there seems to be a subtle banana taste too, generally fairly pleasant for emergency food - I assume, I'm not exactly a connoisseur of this sort of thing! With a 20-year shelf life and high energy to each bar these will be invaluable should the situation ever arise when food is scarce, or I've got myself lost up a mountain (unlikely).

Already bought the original flavour version and decided to try the popcorn variety with a fair amount of scepticism, popcorn flavoured survival biscuit sounds like something nobody asked for. But they're genuinely nice. There's a light sweetness to them that makes them feel less like eating cardboard rations and more like an actual snack. Kids have already tried to raid the emergency supply which probably says something. Individually wrapped, well made, and the 20-year shelf life means I'm not constantly rotating stock. A slightly more enjoyable option than the original if you fancy something with a bit more flavour.

I ordered these High Energy Popcorn Flavour Emergency Food Biscuits out of curiosity more than anything. The chances of me being trapped and in need of them are small but not zero (you never know when you're up on Emei Shan and the evil monkeys have blocked the way back down). In the box you receive 12 packs containing 2 biscuit bricks, each brick is individually wrapped which helps keep the unused portion fresh and intact. Once freed from the shrinkwrap you are left with a biscuit that has a very odd texture. It crumbles rather than breaks making it a little messy to eat. Smell wise it certainly has the idea of popcorn but personally it tastes and feels like I'm a very strange HobNob Biscuit. It's not unpleasant, but certainly a combination of tastes that's quite puzzling to the taste buds. Given these last 20 years and are designed to keep you alive if you're out trekking they are certainly a solid choice in that department. After munching a biscuit after a hour or so at the gym I certainly felt much more energised so there's no doubting the energy content. Will they still be ok to eat in 20 years? Who can say, I'm not sure we'll have any left by that time to find out.

Much better than I was expecting. These things are properly sealed and designed to last two decades, which immediately made me wonder whether I’d accidentally bought emergency rations for the forthcoming zombie apocalypse. Honestly, the packaging suggests it could probably survive the apocalypse. Whether I will is another matter. We chunked it up into bite-sized pieces. It reminded us all of shortbread, although the flavour is perhaps best described as subtle. Very subtle. Almost suspiciously subtle. And let’s be honest, it doesn’t exactly look like something you’d choose from a dessert trolley. Wifey took her piece with the sort of apprehension normally reserved for eating something discovered in a bunker after civilisation has collapsed. But then she tasted it. Her expression changed. Actually, quite dramatically. Yes, you expect a bit of a strange texture.. these are designed to live for 20 years for goodness sakes, but chunky shortbread is something we all agreed on as our closest reference Price wise, how do you compare ? I’ve never had to think about how much end-of-the-world rations would cost. So there we are. Twenty-year shelf life, apocalypse-proof packaging and surprisingly decent taste. If the zombies arrive tomorrow, I’m taking this, a torch and wifey. She can carry the torch.

These energy bars are made of wheat flour , palm oil and sugar syrup, and added flavoring. They have a shelf live of 20 years which is very impressive and come packed in a cardboard box that will disintegrate quickly ( as my parcel was left outside the house in the rain) There are 12 bars per box, each one is packed individually in foil, each containing 2 biscuits of 60 grams each, and providing 570 kcals per packet. These bars are made in China.

Ces biscuits énergétiques goût popcorn sont une très belle surprise à garder dans un sac de randonnée ou à stocker dans un kit de secours. Ce qui change par rapport aux rations de survie habituelles souvent très sèches et sans goût, c'est ce petit parfum de popcorn qui rend la dégustation beaucoup plus agréable et gourmande. La texture est assez dense pour ne pas se transformer en miettes au fond du sac tout en restant facile à croquer sans se casser une dent. L'apport calorique est vraiment efficace pour redonner un coup de boost rapide pendant un effort prolongé ou en cas d'urgence. La conservation longue durée apporte une vraie tranquillité d'esprit, d'autant que le paquet compact prend très peu de place et résiste parfaitement aux manipulations. C'est un produit très pratique, rassasiant et surprenant par son goût, idéal pour les sorties outdoor ou pour compléter ses réserves en toute simplicité.

These look to last for a while and have a good taste for rations. They look similar to Rice krispie treats and have a decent value. One bar is calorie packed so you get more than enough for a day.

Ho preso queste razioni soprattutto con l'idea di tenerle come scorta di emergenza. La confezione contiene 12 pacchetti da 120 g, ognuno diviso in due porzioni da 60 g. Sono molto compatti e questo è sicuramente un vantaggio se devono restare in dispensa, in auto o essere portati in viaggio. La lunga conservazione dichiarata, fino a 20 anni, è il motivo principale per cui le trovo interessanti. In poco spazio si ha una buona quantità di calorie, quindi possono avere senso anche per campeggio, escursioni o situazioni in cui serve qualcosa di pratico da tenere da parte. Il gusto popcorn è particolare ma gradevole. La consistenza è piuttosto compatta e asciutta, coerente con il tipo di prodotto. Nel complesso, le vedo più come una scorta pratica da tenere pronta che come uno snack da mangiare abitualmente. Per questo utilizzo, mi sembrano ben pensate.

とは違うけど美味しい！ ER食ってガリッガリに硬くてボッソボソするイメージでしたが、(実際に5年程前に備蓄してた物がそんな感じだった) これ完全にお菓子です。以下食べた時の頭の中。 『え、クッキー。ちょっと硬めだけどホロホロするし、クッキーだ。めっちゃおいしい。』 『…なんの味なの。』←(笑) 甘いのでキャラメルポップコーンイメージ？と思ったが、それでもないような。 ↓ 原材料を見るとアプリコットとカボチャの表記が。 「あぁあ〜！それだ！その味！」 ちょいフルーティーなカボチャとコーンの味がするクッキーです。 なんじゃそりゃと思われそうですが、食べてみた感想としても『なんだこれは。』だったので、あまりないフレーバークッキーって感じでちゃんと美味しいです。 そしてポップコーン要素はまさかのコーンフラワーのみ。(笑) ------------------------ 2026/8月末に注文してちゃんとおおよそ20年期限の物が届きました。 コンパクトな段ボールパッケージにぎっちり空気が抜けた状態のアルミパックに入ってます。 1袋に2枚ビスケット入りでそれが12pc。開けてみるとビスケットは薄いビニールで覆われてるのですが、この袋がピタッとしててめちゃくちゃ開けにくいです！！ 子供の非常用リュックに詰めるなら、ミニハサミとかも入れておいた方がいいって位には開けにくいです。 -------------------------- 【栄養成分】100gあたり 420kcal/たんぱく質:6.0g/脂質:17.2g/糖質:60.5g 食塩とクエン酸も含まれ非常食として優秀です。 総量1440gとあって12pcで割ると一袋の実量120gの計算になります。(アルミパックごと一袋量ってみたら133gでした。) 【栄養成分】改めて120gあたり 504kcal/たんぱく質:7.2g/脂質:20.6g/糖質:72.6g ER食のいい点は、そのコンパクトさと食べてすぐ熱産生エネルギーが生じるくらい高カロリーな所かと思います。 本当に危機的な状況の時に、1日に20gの脂質と72gの糖質を摂れたらめちゃくちゃデカいと思います。 (30代♀細身が食べてみての感想) 1枚(60g)でもなかなか大きさがあって満足感高めです。 ぼそぼそ感はあまり気にならないので、水と一緒に食べなくても大丈夫ですが、1枚食べきった後やや水分は欲しくなります。 さいごに。 私がホロッと崩れる硬さのあるクッキーが好きなので、手で割ることが出来た時感激しました。 ※ただ、割るとパラパラ細かく砕けてしまう箇所も出るので注意。期限が近いものを消費する為におやつとして食べるなら皿の上や袋状態で食べればそこまで問題ないけど、非常時は割れカスを落としてしまったら…と思うと勿体無いです。 味は??でしたが、全然ER食っぽくなくて食べやすかったので満評価です！
