MRE Review: Baked Snack Crackers
Baked Snack Crackers By Todd Farino
This review will be short. The Baked Snack Crackers are better known in the real world as CheeseIts. However, the MRE version is not nearly as tasty. To start, the smell like a chemical solvent and not like cheese-based crackers. Then they lack salt, which a bit more would help. Finally, you can taste the chemical smell in them and it leaves a nasty after taste.
You can try eating the Baked Snack Crackers, but you will find that when you get to about the thrid or fourth cracker you won't be able to eat more. Even worse, don't put a handful in your mouth, it will disgust you.
According to the ingredients, Citric Acid and TBHQ are added to preserve freshness. I don't taste citric acid, but maybe the chemical taste could be the TBHQ.
From Wikipedia:
tert-Butylhydroquinone (TBHQ, tertiary butylhydroquinone) is an aromatic organic compound which is a type of phenol. It is a derivative of hydroquinone, substituted with tert-butyl group. TBHQ is a highly effective preservative for unsaturated vegetable oils and many edible animal fats. It does not cause discoloration even in the presence of iron, and does not change flavor or odor of the material to which it is added.
Doesn't change the flavor. Bull. These were terrible. Whatever you do, don't give these to your kids. They won't want them. If you get them in your MRE, trade them as soon as you can. Let the other guy figure out how bad they are. If you have to eat them, add salt and eat them one at a time and take breaks.
