Review: There MRE’s not McDonald's fast meal - Their eatable, better than the C can rations I remember from the 70’s.
Review: As expected. Genuine MREs. - I will start off by saying, I don't know what kind of shipping service they used, but kudos to the guy that dropped this stuff off at 10:08pm. Now to the good stuff. I got a good variety out of the 8 that I got. Most were packed in 2015, some went up to 2017. Which is insanely fresh. 2015 is quite young by MRE standards. Depending on the meal, 2012 or older is where I'd start asoing questions, but these guys seem to have pretty new stuff. Mine were all sealed and undamaged. As for the good, these are genuine military MRE's complete with all the components. Generally it will come with an Entree, snack, cracker or tortilla, spread or Jam, a dessert and an accessory packet with drinks. If you do not get crackers or wheat snack bread, it is because if you got a tortilla, that is the replacement for them. Some of them are genuinely very delicious and filling. They are high caloric, high sodium and sugar food items, I would not recommend eating these if you are not active often; I personally use these as emergency meals. Irregardless, this is military food, not Gordon Ramsay pre-made meals. Some are good, and some are bad, and that is no fault of the seller. It is military food, plain and simple. But generally, it's personal taste. As a tip, if these clog you up, eating 4 of the chiclets in the accessory packet will act as a laxative. Now to get the unpleasantness out of the way; The "Commercial Sale is Unlawful" tag on the bag does not apply to you or the seller. It applied to the Military personnel it is issued to. Because it is their free ration, they cannot SELL it, or they can be held accountable by UCMJ. But there is nothing wrong with GIFTING it to someone for free... and maybe collecting some cash later as a "Birthday gift" as a legal way around it. It's completely legal in that manner. All in all, 10/10 from me. Everything is as expected.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do I still need a stove to cook some of these items?  I know the main entree doesn't but not sure about the other stuff?**
A: While you can heat the food in the mre by adding water to the heating pouch it comes with, it is not necessary to heat or cook any item in the mre.  You can open and eat every item as is.

**Q: Shelf life?**
A: 3-5yrs after Inspection date is best. Colder they are kept, the longer they will last. People have eaten MREs that were 10+yrs old with no issue.

**Q: What flvors are in the 4 pack?**
A: This is for a 4 pack of assorted flavors and they are picked at random!

**Q: Description says 2016 or newer, but details say 2012. Which is it?**
A: 2016 would be inspection date and 2012 is manufacture date.
