Review MRE Caffeinated Chocolate Pudding

A mini review of the 2015 production MRE Caffeinated Chocolate Pudding, a brand new item here at TheEpicenter.

We recently received a shipment of First Strike Ration components, including this interesting side dish. Here's what we thought about the MRE Caffeinated Chocolate Pudding:

Jenny...it's NOT chocolate gravy!!!

If you ever need a little pick-me-up, try this "big kid" version of ready-to-eat chocolate pudding with caffeine (equivalent to about a cup of coffee). Surprisingly, this side dish received all thumbs up from the three taste testers here at TheEpicenter!

**UPDATE** — the Caffeinated Chocolate Pudding is no longer available. The military has replaced this with the MRE Chocolate Pudding with Protein.

This 4.5 oz First Strike Ration component contains 180mg of Caffeine per serving (single-serving pouch), and can be used as a dessert, snack, or supplement. This ready to eat pudding can be eaten cold or warmed up.
