I haven’t had any MRE’s since Katrina. By the sounds of it, I think that’ll continue to remain the same

Real MREs

The ones from Laura last year were not of the same quality.



Low sodium MREs that are made for citizens for emergency distribution.

That's the difference. I did get one box of the real thing last year.

Chicken Tetrazzini, tortellini, and that Thai rice entree were good during Katrina... And I actually really like Ranger bars.

Sheeut, I ate scrambled eggs out of a can in the old C rations. Probably the only thing nastier was the dehydrated pork patty when they first switched to MREs.

Obama ruined MRE's.
I know for a fact they've sucked since at least the Clinton era and something tells me they weren't great before that either.

That heated Hashbrown breakfast hit different whenever you are freezing your dick off at the arse crack of dawn. Chicken Pesto Pasta always had that good arse bread and a packet of instant coffee

Why would anyone let themselves be put in a position where they had to rely on hurricane MREs??

It's not the same. It's almost waxy these days. The crackers also suck.

Does only one company make these or something? I’ve never had or seen an MRE before so I really don’t know about any of the flavors y’all are talking about.

There's like three companies that make them to DoD specifications. There are 24 different menus that are produced. MREs come in 2 different cases, A and B. A has 12 of the menus, B has 12 of the menus.

I get an A and a B case of them every year for hurricane prep. Last year's hurricane MREs get used for hunting, fishing, by myself and don't feel like cooking, etc.

What’s the cost per MRE? They seem way more expensive than I thought they were.
