    Boba/Bubble-Tea

    I purchased & tasted Boba/bubble-tea for the first time this morning. Overall, it didn't appeal to me; the tapioca-balls' aftertaste repulsed me & ruined the flavor of honeydew that I usually enjoy.

    Hot Tub

    This morning, I relaxed in the hot tub for about 45 minutes (8:30-9:15AM); I rarely use it, but my muscles felt unusually tight on Friday. I suspect running around & lifting boxes at work after enjoying a leisurely week away on vacation caused that uncomfortable stiffness.

I started watching videos about MREs · 1:33pm Mar 6th, 2019

About a year or two ago, Space Nutrients Station sponsored Funhaus & Rooster Teeth; I recall James Willems & Burnie Burns drinking the beverage on video & discussing their space-food: James explained that the drink-mix served as an efficient liquid alternative to a meal, in a bottle. Simply, you combine the powdered-mix with water, & you have a full meal in (mostly) liquid form! It was like a nutritious astronaut's smoothie. :pinkiehappy:


At the time, the product & its cool advertising & packaging intrigued me, though I decided against purchasing the stuff to save money. Recently, I attempted to order that product online, but learned the company no longer produces or sells that space-food drink. :[

However, I archived that product's website when I first found it; so, you can check it out below:

So, what is actually in the bottle?

Flax seeds, Hemp hearts, Organic Sprouted Rice flour, Dextrose + Vitamins & Minerals according to 2000 calorie diet are the basics of 100%FOOD. Then natural flavors added to fit the taste to your choice. Gluten & dairy free.

Whilst trying to find the videos wherein James & Burnie drank the liquid-meal, YouTube recommended one of
Steve1989's videos about MREs to me, probably since I recently watched other related content (such as videos about the Eastern Front in WWII, videos from Military Arms Channel (MAC), videos from DemolitionRanch, & reviews of the DP-12).

I subscribed to him & highly recommend watching his videos as he accurately describes the food's consistency, smell, & taste with entertaining voice-over, films himself preparing the food, & provides close-ups of the food as well. Also, Steve smokes the cigarettes included in the rations & reviews them as well (despite the fact it seems he doesn't regularly smoke); seemingly, he simply respects the historical significance of the product, evaluating it as a part of the MRE.

Before watching his videos, I was ignorant of the fact that MREs sometimes include accessories & toiletries in addition to food, such as matches & toilet-paper. I enclosed examples of his videos below:

United States' ration from 1984, with crackers that resemble buttered Club crackers:

United States' 1943 Army ration, in a can with cigarettes:

Nazi Germany's 1942 Wehrmacht chocolate- & cigarette-rations:

United States' 2000 Humanitarian Daily Ration (foreign aid ration for refugees & victims of natural disasters):

CrazyRussianHacker also uploaded videos of MREs (with subtitles, since he sports a thick accent):
