Some "news." They served these 35 years ago in the dining commons at UMass. I recently found one in a box of old school books. Using it for a lally support wedge in my basement.

US military creates indestructible sandwich The mess cooks on my first ship invented these things years ago. They called them "box lunches."

Do you get fries with that?

The pocket sandwiches won't see action until 2004. But like dehydrated egg, freeze-dried coffee and processed cheese - all originally developed by the military - the long-life sandwich will probably find its way into grocery stores. Twinkies are still the benchmark for extended shelf life. Half-life of 6,400 years or so as I recall. ;o)

Now to figure out how to store cereal in milk without it getting soggy.

Soldiers who tried the pepperoni and barbecue-chicken pocket sandwiches have found them "acceptable". That doesn't sound like a ringing endorsement.

Can we use them to penetrate Saddam's Bio Weapons hardened bunkers?

The Germans had their "pocket" battleships. We have our "pocket" sandwiches. Now if only we had a "pocket" beer to wash it all down.

How much does MI sandwich cost, these days?

MAybe this is a silly question.
Why not irradiate the food and vacuum seal it?

designed to stay "fresh" for up to three years at 26 °C (about the temperature of a warm summer's day), or for six months at 38 °C
After the three years/six months, we give 'em to the USMC.

Soldiers who tried the pepperoni and barbecue-chicken pocket sandwiches have found them "acceptable". They are now planning to extend the menu to pocket pizzas, as well as cream-filled bagels, breakfast burritos and even peanut-butter sandwiches.
From my time in the military, I would expect these things to be labled something like this:
Sandwich, pocket, pepperoni filled.

The soldiers are in for a real treat. Peanut butter & humectant sandwiches are an old favorite around my house.

this way when I find a sandwich in a desk that is from a month ago I will know it is still fresh

/Gratuitous Python ref/ Let me guess the tomato will detect the oncoming impact and eject itself from the sandwich. We need safer food.

will they test it on the prisoners at X-ray first?
To: aculeus
Should I even ask what developing an indestructible sandwich costs? Why am I afraid that these things are $750 per?
