What were those dinners that somehow were automatically hot when you peeled back the cover? Are they still around?

I think they are long gone. Don't know the name. Too much like MREs from the military.

They do have some still around, They come with a little pouch of water in them that you pour on the foam plate inside and then close the box tightly, let it steam for about 15-20 mins. and pronto a hot meal. We used to sell these in the truck stop I worked for about 2 years ago and the truck drivers would take some and leave them in their trucks in case they were stranded somewhere, then they had a hot meal. I actually started them doing this. They now also have breakfasts in the boxes, eggs and bacon w. biscuits,etc.
I can't remember the brand, but Travel Centers of America sells them (that's a truck stop, in case you didn't know)
They have some that has an awesome flavor to them.

so your saying the meal was hot, but wouldnt it be burnt or dried out by the time you got to it, sounds funky to me.
