Wise food company free sample

[kiddchaos]

I had tried a sample.
It was ok, but I'm sticking to a normal rotation of store bought dry/canned foods.

I got my sample the other day and tasted it (lasagna -- yum, right?). It was...it was pretty bad...scratch that, it was awful. I literally couldn't see eating this in any long-term survival situation. I'm curious about the Mountain Houses and the other brands out there. I wish they had free samples before I go dumping money into them.

And FYI, I'm by and large (heh large, cuz I'm fat) not a picky eater (cuz I'm fat), so when I say they sucked I truly mean it.

Mountain House doesn't have free samples but individual packs are available at a reasonable cost at most camping supply stores, (even Wally World). Buy a couple and try them. I've eaten MT. House before and it's always been pretty good.

Get one from walmart. I also have like 5 extra packs if you want to try them. I would give you a deal. I think I have scrambled eggs and ham, a ice cream sandwich, chicken teriyaki and chili mac. Ill double check if you are interested.

Do not eat the MH chili mac. It causes deadly intestinal gas attacks! If you're in a tent you will probably puke your guts out, too. Been there done that! LOL.

I have not tried that one. Thanks for the update. I have only eaten the eggs, and the teryiaki. Chili mac seems popular so I got some. Good to know.

Just requested the sample. Waiting on the call back.

I asked Mike Sanfrosky (SP) about their 25 years claims and the Oregon University study. He hasn't replied in one week.

I was actually going to post a question about this study - good thing I read all the posts before doing so I look forward to hearing their answer to your question - assuming you get one.

IIRC, didn't Mykel "Go Hot!" Hawke and his hot-but-stupid wife endorse Wise Food? That'd be reason enough for me to buy Mountain House right there.

 

[Never A Victim]

They emailed me instead of calling (probably because I didn't give them my real phone number) and they said the free sample is in the mail. The prices looked very high in comparison to other long term dry foods out there, but I'm willing to give it a try.

I've had Mountain House, Saratoga Farms, and Wise, and I thought the Wise food tasted like crap. The Mountain House and Saratoga Farms were pretty good. I know there's a ton of different foods, and I only compared a couple of types, so take that for what it is worth.

I went with Mountain House for my primary stores.

Nice to have an opinion of the comparisons. I just got a sample pack of six (2 each of 3 things) and a friend of ours is getting comparable "dishes" in another brand in the same amount (maybe Mountain House, I think). We're gonna divide it in half and swap, so we can each try comparisons of both brands side by side without having to spend a ton of money and get stuck with things we may not like.

Got my sample in the mail.... Will be trying it for lunch tomorrow... Beef stroganoff.

Just submitted the form, and received a phone call within 20 minutes. Was told that I should receive it within 7-10 business days.

 

[IndyGunworks]

when I submitted it I got a phone call in less than 5 minutes. Food was there in a couple of business days. They told me to expect a follow up phone call. I almost feel bad that I just ordered 6 cans from mountain house because of their 50% off sale.
