MREs. Particularly US MREs. You can eat em as much as you want and you won't have to go for a week.
Fear the end of the week, however
Glad I wasn't the only one to think ration packs. UK ones used to have similar effects
Especially if you don't rehydrate them properly. That's where the reputation comes from at least partly.
Edit: Or so I hear.
What US MRE requires rehydration? Retort pouches are universally used to carry wet rations, I thought the only hydration needed was for drink mixes like instant coffee and drink mixes.
I'm actually just repeating what I've heard. I'll add a disclaimer.
That surprises me, though. It must add a lot of weight. The Canadian ones have dehydrated or partly dehydrated components.
