Jianas Brothers Packaging Company Beverage Base Powder Tropical Punch

Jianas Brothers Packaging Company 'Beverage Base Powder Tropical Punch' is one of the things in both U.S. Military M.R.E. and EverSafe meal kits designed to encourage proper hydration. It tastes like Gatorade to me and as I never voluntarily drink Gatorade I have to say that's a bad thing. I'd much rather have the orange or lime. 

Jianas Brothers Packaging Company Beverage Base Powder Orange

Jianas Brothers Packaging Company Beverage Base Powder Orange is a fancy way of saying Kool-Aid. I'm reasonably sure that these are the result of service people being forced to drink chemically purified water.

Keeping hydrated is a struggle for most Americans and for soldiers that must be even harder. These things are good to put in a water bottle and shake the hell out of it to mix it well enough.

I put this in my refrigerator for more than 24 hours and there was still stuff at the bottom. Stirring just isn't enough to get this whole thing to dissolve.

Taste wise these are okay. They get the water down which is what they are made for. 

Jianas Brothers Packaging Company Strawberry Banana Dairyshake Powder

Jianas Brothers Packaging Company's Strawberry Banana Dairyshake Powder is one of those 'huh' items that comes in M.R.E. and I was kind of surprised to find them in my EverSafe Meal Kit.

I've always been the kind of fellow to 'Pack Out' and dump my trash at home, but with these things I say you just dump the trash because it can get stinky. 

Other than that, these have four grams of Trans Fat which is know to be an unhealthy killer. I will never eat one of these on my own but rather share them with my brother to spread the trans fat out between us.

Maybe I should give these to the homeless or something. I mean, if you're starving you can't have fat build up in your arteries can you?
