MREs are certainly much better now than they were when they first came out. I liked the Thai one; it was all right. And mixing up the graham crackers with the peanut butter and hot chocolate was fun...a smore without the marshmallows.
I happened to be cleaning the trunk of my car and found MRE crackers and jam in my emergency box. Since I got out in 2001, these guys must be at least that old. I put them back; never know when they'll come in handy.
