MRPs: Meals Ready to Pee On

via Gizmodo & Blackfive:

The US Army's Soldier System Center in Natick, Massachusetts has created a pouch filled with chicken and rice that can be rehydrated with a soldier's own urine. Or the urine of their crushed enemies. Anything really, even the muddiest swamp water, as the pouch uses a special filter that uses osmosis to remove 99.9-percent of bacteria and toxic chemicals from the water used to rehydrate the food (Now with 0.1-percent Deadly Toxins!). Of course, regular, non-lethal water should be used in optimal situations... You don't want to know what has to be done to make the Tootsie Roll chewy again.

BLACKFIVE:BLACKFIVE: How To Make MREs Worse...

:: I'm a goat. I'll eat anything. Usually, if I'm desperate starved enough to reach into the butt-pack of my 24 hour gear for a MRE, I'm hungry enough to think that it tastes pretty damn good.

But I will say this... The civilian versions of MREs seem to suck. The true military ones (which you cannot buy on the market legally) have much better goodies, heaters, etc.
