 I can't remember the last time I've drank instant. I do have a sealed jar in the cupboard just in case.

 Yep, I drank enough instant while serving in the Army I care not to do it. BTW, one time I heated water using dried camel dung and the cardboard from my MRE to get my fix. We were somewhere in Saudi Arabia circa 1990

 Hahahaha! I did the same thing! SSgt Ness and I would go around collecting all the MRE coffee from the kids who didn't drink it. Ghastly stuff but effective.

 Take about 20 creamers, mix in the hot cocoa and you'll be buzzing for a day. How I don't have diabetes from those days. Lol.

 The cocoa was harder to get but I do remember combining the creamers and freeze dried strawberries sugar and crackers for a bit of an improvised cobbler.
