What happened to the Tabasco?

A great part of the MRE accessory packet was the little bottle of tabasco sauce.

Now I get my hands on a new MRE (BBQ rib) and... NO TABASCO!! What is the world coming too!?!?

Do any of the MRE's now still have that tiny bottle of taste left? Was I just unlucky or have the blandness-police purged that final vestage of flavor?!?

Update:

Does anyone know which meals still have the Tabasco? I need to get one with little bottle for my son's backpacking friend - who has a trail name of 'Tobasco' :)

    Just like the army to cut spending in the wrong compartments, -_-

    Man Im a Mexican, and if i were to join the troops then I wouldn't be able to run at 100% without some sort of spicy sauce to add on top.

    Viva El Tabasco

    -------------------------EDIT

    You Can get some Authentic Tabasco Sauce from MRE's at this website, they even have a Green version, The link is at the bottom, if you don't automatically get directed to the sauces just scroll down the page, It is about 3/4 of the way down, It's a long page but it has a lot of other stuff too, even MRE tortillas o.O

    Hope I helped, ☭ Good Luck Comrade

    P.S

    The reason that you are finding it harder to find MRE's with Tabasco sauce if that only 2/3 of all MRE's have tabasco sauce, though, at least they are not trying to get rid of it,

    Considering an eye contains hundreds of tiny blood vessels, most likely excruciating pain. The kind that makes you want to want to tear your eye out if only you could see. Of course I wouldn't know because I wouldn't inject tabasco sauce in my eye...and neither should you.

    I have heard they are doing that to cut down on prices. I have seen the little glass bottles before, but glass kind of expensive. Maybe they phased it out instead of switching to packets.
