20 years of shelf stable food. Just in case. And peace of mind.
I can't tell you what they taste like. They arrived promptly. They are heavy not a bad way. So dense would be a better word. Just from the heft, it's gonna keep you full for a while. They have a 20 year shelf life. The expiration date on the box is 2045. I'm just gonna keep them stashed for the next 19 years. Knock on wood. I have mine stashed in a sealed 5 gallon bucket. Just to make sure no rodents get to them. You don't have to worry about bugs. The wrappers is very sturdy.

Interesting - a mild, savory shortbread cookie - priced to try
I purchased these purely out of curiosity - for a long time I've been wondering when someone would create a truly generic "nutrient bar". Something like Soylent in sold form; sort of bland and enriching, without any conspicuous flavor. These seemed like a promising candidate. Honestly, they are close. They are not a nutrient bar by any stretch - these are pretty much all about the energy needed to survive. I wouldn't want these as a meal replacement bar. However, I think they'd make a great quick energy bar while hiking, backup meal for my laptop bag, or an emergency ration bar for my car, the sort to keep you going in a difficult situation. In flavor, as others have said they are basically a shortbread cookie, a blander, milder, drier, somewhat crumbly shortbread cookie. However, they have a mild savory undertone - so a shortbread cookie made with beef tallow or ghee or something like that. They are modestly sweet. I think they could have used a little bit of salt, maybe to turn up the savoriness just a hair, to make it easier to survive on these for more than 24 hours. They are dry and crumbly, but surprisingly I didn't find myself parched when eating one - I could easily eat it without any liquid, though I'd probably want some after the fact. Easy to bite into, chew, and swallow, but durable enough that they don't just dissolve on contact with your fingers, they only break up once you bite into them. In terms of digestion; I have had no issues after two bars, and a family member reports the same after one bar. I didn't feel bloated, and felt no discomfort otherwise, it didn't interfere with anything. I did feel satiated - really satiated after eating one, but the family member did not report the same. They may have been more active than I was that day. I was wary about trying Chinese ration bars, and will try to find an equivalent bar made in the US, but so far these are fine. I would prefer to find some which are individually vacuum sealed; these come 4x to a vacuum sealed pack, which is enough for a day's energy at 400 kiloCal per, but that doesn't really work if you just need one in the midst of a hard hike. The vacuum-sealed pack was very durable and felt tough and secure. The bars are individually wrapped in a clear plastic envelope, which is about enough to keep the water and dust off them and keep them separable from each other. The price is too high. You can get these bars (individual, not four-pack) for about $0.60 apiece through other suppliers. If you want to actually store these for emergency rations for yourself or your family, I would recommend going with a different route. However, if you just want to try a pack to see how they taste, this is fine. Broadly; would recommend for short-term, non-critical emergency rations. Maybe they would be suitable also for critical need, but I don't know enough about them to say one way or the other. I would not go with these for my emergency food reserves at the house, there I'd keep canned goods and self-stable foods instead.

Pleasantly surprised by this
Now sheer curiosity had me order the 1 box with the metal foil and i was surpised to find 4 bars backed in plastic. i was only expecting 2. now i went into this with low expectations like how can this really taste. smelled pleasant enough and was not off putting hard to break with a utensile but flakes in your mouth when you bite on it so relatively easy to chew. just sweet enough and slightly salty to give you what you need and with a vitamin taste the more you chew and these tastes all mix both my wife and i came away looking stunned and agreed that its not bad. this is not gourmet by any means its designed and compressed for a purpose but keeping that in mind these are enjoyable i will probably finish the other 3 when i want something to much on but cant be bothered to actually cook something. also really enjoyed breaking one up and mixing it in a glass of milk like i enjoyed that alot more then i expected. it thickened the milk up and if i had put more then just a small piece it probably could have made a shake out of it. i will probably pick up a few more of these for my cars for emergency food and camping or maybe just a really bad day stuck in traffic and hangry. Definitely servicable and im happy i tried it.

all things considered these are actually quite tasty. I got one of the peanut ones just to try flavour wise, cause if they tasted bad and I had nothing else to eat at the end of the world I wouldn't eat them. obviously very dry but that's good as no moisture means no mold. they come in a silver vacuum sealed bag with 4 smaller individual bars seperatly wrapped inside. nice and tasty, but crumbly but you'll definitely survive.

A parte che odorano di cibo per cani secco... non sono male. Scordatevi il sapore di caramello e cannella.

Super Produkt! 1,6kg geballte Energie. Einzeln verpackte Riegel, 20Jahre haltbar und zu dem noch wirklich lecker. Produkte anderer Hersteller sin zum Teil günstiger aber meist bekommt man die nur mit viel Flüssigkeit runter. Die Dinger schmecken echt nicht schlecht.

The bars are packed in two's and double wrapped. So if you open the outside packet, each bar is individually wrapped. They have a nice flavour but are very dry. So be prepared to have a drink on hand. I suppose they have to be to have such a long shelf life. Would purchase again.
