So just a tip, when I had this one in the field I would split the muffin top in half and pour the syrup on each side and place the patty in between the half's and eat it like a McD's breakfast sandwich. Also the cardboard sleeve is used to stand the heater bag up. Fold one end closed, squeeze to open, insert heater bag and contents, set down on the folded end to heat up. Also the "main" bag is used as a trash bag for all of the internal components.

I think they doubled down on protein with the peanuts and peanut butter due in fact that it had a grape electrolyte beverage instead of the chocolate protein powder beverage to sorta equal out the packs nutrient table. Looked delicious ill have to keep an eye out for that mre. For the story , it is always a great past time revisiting those times with you and anyone else who shares their stories. If there was more military presence I think rolling him in a sheet and giving him the old soap trick woulda payed off that debt and taught the lag a lesson.
