Me and some people I know used to eat them all the time. We also thought that the directions called for too much water. We just cut down on the water and eat it cold. Just take the bag and go to the nearest water fountain and put a little in it. I used to just put in enough to feel it cover the bottom of the bag a bit.
Then just use the bag to mix it up a bit and eat it like the old peanut butter tubes that used to come in MRE’s. I don’t eat the oatmeal’s any more though. Mostly I eat peanut butter right out of the jar. I don’t have to fridge it, it never seems to go bad, and I can just get a spoonful here and there when I want.
The problem that I had with the oatmeal packs was lack of self control. I love that they come in small portions and are rather tasty for a cheap food, but I went overboard. They taste soo good that I could eat bag after bag and still want more. Somehow the peanut butter fills me up more and in the end seems to cost the same.
