I was hoping that, with all the feedback, Mainstay had improved their packaging....  They hadn't.  The additional nutritional information, the composition, the absence of tropical oils - all interested me over the competition.  I ordered two packages.  The first one came out of the box with the vacuum seal broken.  The second package lost the seal the next day. I had high hopes.
The Pro's:  Better nutritional info.  I appreciated the shape - better than the competition for packing into a bag or a cargo pocket.
The Con's:  The dates were rubbed out & hard to read on the packaging, but seemed pretty close to new.  The seals both failed - 5 years shelf life wasted.
I had to break down and go with the competition - tropical oils and all....
