    They both messed them up. The new guy didn't take all the adhesive off the first pack and the old guy didn't fold over the packet top.

      Issue on the new one is you can only heat up one part of the meal, the old one you can take out and put in or just put in two parts of the meals

      It's cool until you're actually trying to rely on heating up an MRE. During basic, you're always eating it cold, and when you can actually use the heat pack, it works like 70% of the time lol.

      They just fill the inside of the packet with an element/substance that makes a chemical reaction which emits heat, and it emits heat because the element/substance reacts to air or water depending on which MRE

      Jennifer, i would go with the old one. Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe. Hence why it's first on the periodic table. The plastic bag is recycable. The cardboard can biodegrade, or for soldiers be used for tinder (starting a fire). The one with the water pollutes less.

    I'd stick with the water-activated warmer, unless its on specific environments. The water one is not shiny and not reflective to give away the soldiers position if they were behind enemy lines. The water one wastes less. Id wanna use the water one when it's cold as a hand warmer, too. The "new" one that is air activated also doesn't make sense. If it's air activated, it has to be extremely corrosive... Oxidation chemicals would ruin electronic components in a sealed enviroment in a sub/aircraft. Albeit a short term and small exposure, but if the whole crew has to use these for an extended period damage would be don

      Magnesium is also much cheaper to source and to process into a powder.
