I read an autobiography some Marine wrote, I think it was one of the Generation Kill guys, but he was telling a story about MREs. They were in Afghanistan at the time so early 2000s and a guy opened his MRE and said “Wow I can win a trip to the Olympics from M&Ms!” Next guy said “Oh yeah? Which ones?” The response, “Barcelona”.

The Barcelona Olympics were in 1992 for you young bucks.

There's a dude on Youtube that eats old MREs. OLD. I think his record was 105 years. It was some kind of ration from before WWI.

That's him.

I think the oldest thing currently in my fridge is some Miss. St. cheese that I bought two years ago. It's even better now than when I bought it. It's starting to get those crunchy crystals that really good old cheese gets. As soon as it gets here, I cut the wheel into 8 pieces and vacuum pack each one individually. Anything that's REALLY dangerous should produce gases, so if the vacuum holds and it doesn't smell or look funny when I open a piece, I'm eating it.

I'm pretty sure I ate 5 year old MRE's regularly early on in Desert Shield.

Throw them on the exhaust manifold of a vehicle for a bit and they were good to go.
