Coleman without question is an old company that really doesn't cater to backpackers. They have been for years - marketing to the back of car group.... but here they are, Freeze Dried Pro Packs

Dogs are excellent judges of character, this fact goes a long way toward explaining why some people don't like being around them.

certainly looks yummy in the photos...thing is though it's easy enough to make your own - cheaper too!
Unless I missed some, I think they are dehydraded, not freeeze dried. Made by Enertia Trail Foods

The trouble I have with campfires are the folks that carry a bottle in one hand and a Bible in the other.
You never know which one is talking.
A "max patch mac n cheese." They're targeting the AT demographic

I've tried a couple of the Coleman meals and they're nit bad at all. Same price as Mountain House at my local Wally World. I prefer the Mountain Houses though.
Most of the pics look really gross.
Confirmed they are at Walmart.

Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake! Nom nom nom
Owl, I have several Coleman (exponent) products (stove, backpack, and hiking poles) and IMHO they do quite well in the backpack department. They really should focus more on the demographic.......but food?? I just don't know.......
I have a kick-ass Coleman backpacking stove--I like it much better than the pocket rocket, so I'm pretty sure they dabble in the backpacker demographic.
I found these same meals at Walmart awhile back and tried a few. The chili is actually pretty damn good, and the lemon/blueberry cheesecake is a favorite with my circle of shelter-mates. I bought a few others, but haven't tried them yet.

Like anything use less water then labeled. LOL I'll eat anything on the trail.
I have tried the Cilantro lime rice and beans. I really did not like it. It was not all that hot, but hot was the only "flavor". I was glad to have an extra Cliff Bar.
I tried the Mac and cheese; it was pretty decent.
Since other folks have given the chili a decent nod, I might give it a try. I do like putting my own stuff together though; that way I can cater to my own tastes.
Give Me Mountains & I Am Happy!
A few months back my local Target had Coleman branded foods on sale for $2.50 a pop. Bought a few to try and just wasnt that impressed. And the chili?? Well its not really chili, its a bean soup. Chili is chilies, tomatoes and beef. Anything else is just filler.
