The majority of historians don’t consider Egyptian papyrus to be paper which by definition is a material made of cellulose pulp. Papyrus ‘paper’ is made from cut-up papyrus plant. Writing on Papyrus is considered the same as writing on tree bark or animal skin.
@MarikasRoom i would think that it uses the same principle as our soldier’s MRE heaters.
China didn’t make paper ancient egyptian’s did china made paper PRINTING
THIS = GIVING TERRORIST IDEAS
it isnt the heaters that make the food mediocre tasting. its the long shelf life required of such products that makes them bland and mushy for the most part.
could the little heating pouch thing have the same chemicals that are in the hand warmers that u take out of the package and they get warm?
its gonna explode.O.O
I thought she said “I’m Sky Cannabis”
us had these long time ago. especially for soldiers
Americans had self heating cans. They just fell out of favor after the second world war and were forgotten. They were at first described as novel, but later as overpriced and mediocre tasting (Early use was back in the 1900s).
what an alien
Whats Next “Self Eating Meal”?
where does she work at??
self-heating meals that use water to heat it is nothing new. The US military’s been using them in their MREs for years.
Lol, it is just not common in the society doesn’t mean that it was new…….b/cos it doesn’t need this stuff for an sophisticated society which this stuff….It commonly use in chinese millitary for their long train journey in wild place which takes time to make hot water…
I also STRONGLY dis-like her lol
Probably fake chicken
Basically an MRE…
did she die?
can the heating system for food be used again if not then it wiil create more waste and that we dont need another trowing junk everywhere.
wow lol
for some reason i strongly dislike her? =S
hahaha XD
my invention is better….self eating meal
This isn’t “China’s Latest Invention.” This has been out for 1-2 years now. Also, China wasn’t the first to use/create self heating meals, it was the IFT(Institute of Food Technologies) which is a U.S military based program. You’re whole “Chinas Latest Invention” heading is therefor incorrect, negatively reflecting the professionalism on your journalism.
