HA HA HA HA!!!!!!
Okay - several nasty things about our ratpacks.
1: There's a nasty, tinny, chemical backtaste to all of them except Treacle Tart - which is okay. Some people hated Treacle Tart with a passion, so I would trade-off all my other puddings with those people and would have that as breakfast. I couldn't face the others (bearing in mind that on hard routine they're all eaten cold) first thing at 6.00am. I kid you not - one of them has 'Boiled chicken dump' printed on the foil.
2: The coffee together with two cigarettes will get your zombified internal motor firing again - but it will also strip the enamel off your teeth.
3: All of this is heated by hexi-blocks - a bugger to light in bad weather, and kicks off the most vile toxic fumes imaginable. I remember once at ROTC everybody was brewing up inside this barn in Wales and the air was lethal - I and several others decided that going outside for a smoke was going to be the healthy option.
Army logic - the metal frame is designed to hold the issued mug - but guess what the mug we got issued with is made out of? Plastic! I managed to 'aquire' a metal one of the same design and put a thin strip of gaffer tape around the rim to stop me burning my lips off when I drank from it.
4: They also make you fart - like a tractor, and turn your innards to soild concrete!
Oh well - all good fun and games really!
To those in that club.
