Let's see...

1) I opened up an MRE that was Corned Beef Hash just a few months ago that I bought in a case of MREs back in the very early 90s. 93 was the last year of production for that treat. So, at minimum, we are talking 15 years old. I suspect it was older than that. MREs were always stored in a cool basement. Food was still good. Crackers were still... well... crackers... Jelly was still good. I was very impressed!

2) No Imodium needed. I never had a problem eating MREs.

3) My wife has tried MREs with me before. I even gave her dad some Minestrone ones and he has taken them to work to eat and enjoys them.

4) I eat them when I go camping typically.

I also like the dehydrated Mountain House meals. I guess something has to be truely vile for me not to eat it. A few "camping" meals I've tried fit that bill.
