I received these this morning and tried one right away. The taste is decent and the texture is a bit crumbly but good. I like that the bars are wrapped separately instead of one big block you have to break apart, and the sealed package is inside an outer box to protect it from damage. I would like to see a zipper seal on the package so you can close it back up after you open it, but I can put it in a bag for now.My only real concern is that something described as having a 5 year shelf life was already 2 years old when it was delivered essentially giving it a 3 year shelf life.I will probably order this again.

I usually go on a restricted simple diet for my road trips, cutting out things like heavy fast foods that can add to drowsiness. This trip was 16hrs each way across the 3 days. Snacking on this instead of meals (with slight additions of 4 coffee's; 3honey stingers; and a bag of pork rinds) I maintained alert driving, didn't feel hungry, and didn't tire of the taste.The taste is like a flour-y shortbread cookie. My kids tasted it and approved as well.The texture is powdery, but firm enough.You can eat it by itself in small pieces, but water is recommended with it.If needed, I think it will be good as emergency rations by itself, but I'm going to use them to supplement other canned goods to keep calorie intake up.

As the title says it. I only bought these because of childhood memories and of course a good snack but seems to have almost 5%of the flavor and taste it used to have about 25 years ago. I was really really hoping these would be the same but unfortunately not.

I was looking for these biscuits in the whole of Ottawa and luckily found them on amazon, the image looked slightly different from those back home so I was sceptical that they may taste different but they taste exactly the same!! These gave me great joy because they are my favourite biscuits ever! The price is too high though. That sounds the only downside, everything else was 10/10

There aren't enough reviews on this, so I'll try to be detailed. This comes with 3 boxes of 9 individual survival bars. They are well packaged to last a minimum shelf life of 5 years. Each bar is wrapped in paper, then all 9 bars are shrink wrapped together in plastic (the ends are open), then that is vacuum sealed in an airtight foil pouch. That pouch is tucked up nicely in a cardboard box, and three boxes are shipped in a tight fitting corrugated box. Each box of 9 rations is just over a pound and can easily fit in my hand. So yeah, these are dense. I have no doubt they will last 5 years, if not more.As for the actual food, I did crack open a box to try some. It tastes reminiscent of a gram cracker...and sawdust. Take a big enough bite and it's similar to the cinnamon challenge. These bars don't have any moisture whatsoever in them, as to maintain shelf life. And if you thought nature valley bars were crumbly, these are the OG f*kin crumbs everywhere bar. I ate one in the kitchen and I'm sure there are crumbs upstairs by now. It sounds like I'm complaining, but really they taste way better than I anticipated. It's a neutral flavor that most people can stand to eat. Imagine toast with a hint of cinnamon sugar, a drop of honey, and ALL the crumbs from that little tray on the bottom of the toaster.As an added bonus to combat the dryness, the packaging suggests to add the bar to hot, potable water to make a type of porridge. I used cold water. Not because I'm a friggin animal, but for science purposes. Although it's possible with cold water I recommend hot water. Firstly, it was difficult to break up the bar after I poured the cold water on it. You know what's worse than dry crumbs everywhere? Crumbs that are simultaneously WET AND DRY at the same time everywhere. The bar would shatter and send watery dryness everywhere. After I scientifically determined my method sucked, I used a grinding technique and worked the corners off into small chunks. Then I crushed the little chunks with the back of my spoon. I soon ended up with a puddle of wet cement. I was unimpressed, but as I kept stirring it turned more into a bread dough consistency. Add a bit more water and I would actually eat the finished product for breakfast. It has the same gram cracker-ish taste but more of an oatmeal texture to it. As a scientist, I recommend breaking up the bar before you add hot water.The food has a good balance of macronutrients, but lacks vitamins and minerals. You can read the nutrition facts for more info. I don't know if it's gluten free, but it is made in Norway. I also have no idea how long the bars last once the foil is broken open. I probably won't wait around to find out either, because I'm not actually a scientist.
