Teh Pail... is fail.

What is the most tactical poptart flavor? Blackberry, cause it's the same color as your guns? Cherry, because it's red like your enemies blood?

The one with the most tactical sprinkles, obviously.

Case of APack MRE's is $69.95 + shipping. Buy 200 rounds of Winchester 5.56 from Midway.

Toss in $2-4 pail, it'll be within dollars of that stupid pail from Centerfire.

A case of real MRE's is $110.  $9.17 per MRE. That bucket contains only one (fake) MRE.

Military MRE's, which I suppose are "real MREs" (four lies instead of three?) are not legal for resale. APack MRE's are made by AmeriQual, who is the largest provider of military MREs to the U.S. military. Sopakco and Wornick Company also make civil and military MREs, which I suppose are "real MREs".

Out of stock at the moment, but $69.95 plus shipping. I've seen them elsewhere for $75-90, some with or without free shipping. Mind you, new production.

noob. Flat dark earth, obviously. Also known as brown sugar and cinnamon flavor.

I would seriously love some blackberry poptarts, though, for reals.

The only MRE's that are "illegal" to resale are those stamped US Government Property and were made for and purchased by the USG. The same manufacturer(s) however, produce batches of the exact same product for non-Governmental buyers. Those are the "real" MRE's of which I'm speaking.

Also the link you provided is yet another one of those imitation MRE's. Only 6 different entree items and they studiously avoid stating what the "side items" are. Those side items are crackers, peanut butter, a cookie, electrolyte beverage powder and dairy shake powder by the way. It has a decent calorie content at about 1200 per meal, but rather bland variation with only 6 distinct entrees and the same side items each time. Also makes me question its nutritional balance because of that.

For reference, here's the menu list from the couple cases of MRE's I have stashed (I have one case each of Menus A and B currently, manufactured in 2010), and here's a PDF with a breakdown of some of the MRE look-a-likes.

ETA: Oh, and the price where I got my cases came down recently. $90 per case = $7.50 per MRE, 2010 production.

*shrug* As long as it's food in a pouch that is manufactured by the same folks that sell to the military, and have roughly the same stuff, good enough for me.

I wish one of the silly buggers would just remove "USG" from the bag, and sell the same bloody things. But apparently, no one does.

Ordered a couple on a lark to replace my old camping stash of MRE's that I finally finished off (those were edging on 8 years old and still tasty). The manufacture dates are 2010, and the freshness inspection stickers are still good.

Oh, he said poptart.

I was gonna throw seed money his way, because I thought he said portapotty.

Menu 2

Potato cheddar soup
Patriotic cookies
Peanut butter
Jam Preserves
Crackers
Beverage, carbo fortified

Well, I suppose if pop tarts can be tactical, cookies can be patriotic.

Interesting that 95 was the last year for brown bags. We were eating those in late '97, if not '98.
