Everytime I see the term "retort pouch" (which admittedly isn't that often anymore), I can't help but think of "retort" in the response/tsukkomi sense.
Imagine a bag full of Kenichi Kazama's retorts to the insanity around him.

Frozen curry is not that delicious

Why did I think it was Kaoru when I saw the cover.

@panzerkaizer but those aren't frozen curry. They are well sealed and you keep them at room temperature. You just heat it up when you want to eat it so they are nice and hot.

Let's get that on the tray

Any type of curry just gets my stomach going so fast.

This takes me back to the times when I survived in Japan with only pouch Curry, rice, discount bento and instant ramen, those were the days.

I'm jealous, wish my curry pouches had meat

When one makes curry, everyone want curry 😅

You can thank the U.S. Army's Natick labs, for the invention of retort pouch technology.

Developed as a way to create a lighter method of conserving food, as an alternative to the traditional steel or aluminum can, the "flexible can" pouch was developed so as to not only lighten the load a soldier needed to carry their rations into combat, but to also prevent the enemy from using the waste produced from the previous MCI rations (c-rats) against the soldier, i.e. the cans (perfect for grenade booby traps)

The long shelf life was an added bonus, stemming from the high pressure pasteurization process.
