Honey Garlic Chicken 200gr - we were pretty hyped for this new main and honestly it was a let down. 

• Very watery, more like chicken stew
• Same cooked chicken as any US/Canada MRE, very chewy
• Potatoes was an odd choice, did not seem to fit
• There was a sort of strange artificial honey flavor but it wasn't nice

Hamburger Bun - been an IMP standard for years. We made a PB and J hamburger sand which. Basic but very good. Better PB than USA MREs.

Wunderbar - the best part of this MRE. It's a Butterfinger wrapped in a Baby Ruth. Very very good! Wish they were in the US! 

Held up great in the hot temps.

Apple Slices - Just OK. Basically shelf stable McDonald's apples. 

Small portion, not much flavor. Fruit is always welcome though.

Almonds - Basic but good. Interesting flavor of salt, soy and sugar coating almost like Cracker Jacks. 

Ice Sports Drink - Like blue PowerAde but not as sweet. Good. 

Beverage bag -

• great design for hot or cold drinks.
• Very strong and can be reused.
• Very good gusset lets you set it down to pour. 

New Bag Design -

• long needed change from paper bag. 
• Nice zip-loc seal can be resealed. 
• fully waterproof, very strong unlike the old bag
