I found these (or something like them) here in the US 4-5 years ago. Was a coffee, cream and sugar. It heated everything up very good, and tasted decent also. At the time, I think I paid something like $2.50. I agree it would be a nice morale lifter if you have the space availble to store it.

Only found them once, I think I bought 3 of them, have never seen it again.

I think something similar was posted here awhile back ?

the first self heating can was invented in the 1890s.

they been touted as a recent development many times [ e.g. new york times, 1941], and where used in ww2.

i believe the reasons they have never found mainstream success is a combination of safety issues and production expense, though with technological progress making just about everything cheaper [read: more willingly wasted, IMO], they will probably take off for good before long.

There are also food ones, they're quite popular over here with outdoorsy types.

it was for food rations that they where used in WWII, by the British army i believe.

sorry, that was the first world war for the russian army, and second world war for the british army.
