You may have seen the various emergency rations for sale online and wondered if they tasted good.  I figure it would probably be better that they just taste OK as opposed to good to discourage consuming them too quickly.  But, the question remains - Do these things taste alright or are they super gross?

Well, the folks at Popular Mechanics did a small taste test for us to help answer that question!  They tested the ER Bar, the Datrex White Ration, and the Mainstay ration bars.

The results are interesting, but I'm still going to order some and conduct my own taste test before buying a case of the stuff.

The favorite turned out to be the Mainstay bars, but they may not be for everyone.  Click here to read the piece at Popular Mechanics for more information.  It is short but interesting.

I will post my personal reviews of these products as soon as I get to test them myself.
