Actually, i'd rather eat those biscuits then eat maggie
mee...AFAIK, there are several advantages:
1. You don't have to cook them (of course you can eat your maggie
raw but with the seasoning, you'd get more thirsty after that -
which means you're drink up more of your bottle - thankfully, if
there's one thing the storemen excel at outfield, its providing
plentiful supply of water)
2. There is something they put into the biscuits that does
something to the digestive system.... i don't know about you
people, but eating the biscuits reduced the need for me (and quite
a few others in my platoon) to visit the field toilet.... which is
another good thing when you are outfield and have not enough time
or are too bone tired to go to the toilet or dig one for yourself
with your ET tool
Personally, if i were given a choice, i'd rather survive on
biscuits then eat the new-fangled SFI rations (there was a time i
got nothing but the ration pack with the 'glutinous rice with
chicken' and 'chestnut chicken rice'.... bleh!)
