[ex-member Raikey]

Damn. Never thought of that. How many brews can you get per tube? Looks like supermarket int morning as i head out.
Should be fun digging the car out first.

2 or 3 inches here. Dunno how many brews per tube, plenty I would think.

 

[persistent king]

can you buy them ? i thought you only got them in supermarket cafes.

 

[mountainm]

You're thinking of Uht milk tubes, have some of those too. But this is a tube of very sticky sweet goo.

I seem to remember that in NZ you could get the same stuff but with coffee already added, a squeeze of that and some hot water and you had an instant cup of nasty, sweet, milky weak coffee. Gopping! but the missus liked it!

Ah. Pretty crappy here to but just replenished the car gear today so happy to get stuck as it will give me a little peace.
Gonna try for a morning out tomorrow but deffo calling for some of these condensed milk tubes. Bet there nice in hot chocky too.
Oh and by the way im sure that necker you did for me hates me. Its forever biting my fingers and leaving claret all over the place. Its had some hammer and still doing the buisness.

That reminds me of "camp coffee"...

 

[Johnnyboy1971]

Gopping. I love that saying.

Ive been doing that for brews for about 25 years , i use the refillable tubes you can open a tin and pour it in then seal the end . does enough for about twenty large cups but then again it might do ten if you like it sweeter .

boil it for over an hour and you get nice toffee like sticky sweets. just drop a can of consd milk In a pan of boiling water and constantly keep and eye otherwise you have an explosive device to blow in your face in camp. cheers the interceptor boy.

Camp coffee and condensed milk - my dad used to have that in the boy sprouts in the 1940's.

Ive been using it for years to, the nestle carnation tube from tesco
it has a shelf life of about a year, once opened only a few weeks.
much easier than using powdered milk, no lumps.

main use is as a sweet treat as its very caramel like, better than buying mars bars, easy to much one handed, have a quick sugar fix then back in pocket, no mess, no chocolate fingers etc.

the mrs uses in making home made posh chocolates, so left over from the tinm becomes a good tv snack

lol, ive only ever managed a couple of days, just far too yummy
the shelf life date, is way more than a year as well, so good to stock up on

we stock up on loads along with part baked bread for if theres too much snow,

I've been using these since about 2005

http://www.mec.ca/AST/ShopMEC/Hikin...016/coghlans-squeeze-tube-with-nylon-clip.jsp You can get them in the UK if you shop around and get two in a pack.

They clean easy to use again and are ideal for SCM, jam, margarine, peanut butter, soft cheese etc.
