US military has been using this tech forever in heat up MREs

We used to have HotPot’s when out camping ⛺️ , 20 odd years ago, and think the Police & Army used them too whilst out on patrol here in Northern Ireland.
Basically they were large round tins with the food inside. They had a thick layer around the tin, which held the chemical that heated your food up.
You used like a nail to put a hole the seal at the top of tin, and did this a few times around the circumference of the top of the tin.
This allowed the air in to react with the chemical and it began to heat the contents up!
Sometimes they were damaged and you got no reaction and had to heat the contents on a stove!
They where pretty heavy too!
That was back then, jump forward now and this is what we have.

We were on a mountain restaurant in Switzerland. Stanserhorn. There was a set of Asian people who had something like this and it was steaming like crazy. The entire restaurant was curious to see what was going on.

These meals were once available in the Netherlands. They were banned shortly after because of safety risks

The sodium in those babies is high.
I know a Japanese guy who started one of these outfits 20 years ago,
Food was good the first five times after that I gave them away,

My dumbass read self eating and I thought those two brown stuff were slugs eating the vegetable, and I was confused on why this existed, until I read the title again

Even more trash and more chemicals to leech out in the rain and runoff

Americans would eat the mixing chemicals and die. No idea what they are, just certain some Americans would intentionally eat them and ruin this for everyone here.

You’re on the train minding your own business and some mf starts heating up his fish supper with an FRH stanking out the whole car.

That food looks bomb!
yummm melted plastic 😋
Self-hating lunch boxes, a true 21st century phenomenon
These self-heating boxes are neat. This is the least interesting video I’ve seen of them.
in the bottom, water with some chemicals
Same technology as MREs
This has to cause cancer somehow
How does this work?

What a fantastic use of resources
too wasteful
Plastic and heat, see you in hell
This is so wasteful and unhealthy.

Heated plastic tastes so good.
