Civilians try MREs

Actually, these aren’t *really* MREs. They’re civilian products mimicking MREs. The main entrée is pure MRE, but the rest is a cheaper variant. MREs aren’t bad, per se.

MREs aren’t bad, per se. For a day or two, they’re not bad at all, especially now that they have the flameless ration heater. But after more than a few days, they become very monotonous.

    I showed a female civilian friend the toilet paper packet that comes with the MRE. She was horrified.

    I showed the toilet paper from an MRE to a former paramour and before I had the chance to tell her what it was she excitedly asked if it was a tampon/kotex device for female service members. She just couldn’t get why I fell on the floor laughing my 4th point of contact off!!
