I've seen a lot of the military version up close, consumed parts of some
of them as well. Overall, better than C-rats but not worth writing home
about.

Relatively locally made still, but not in state?

Citrus Magic is all natural; I think the one I get at Lowe's is also.

Ours is one we picked up at the H Mart in MD while visiting the Shipps.
It's like a regular toaster oven turned on it's side so taller than it
