From the 2017 packed case I opened, they dropped the net content weight of both the peanut butter and cheese packs to 1.0 oz. from earlier 1.5 oz. WTF Over? 2 of the best mre comfort food components.

The newer tan packs of spray-dried should hold up forever, just like the old school packs from MCI's and '80's MRE's. The tan packs of freeze dried will hold OK as lone as the Mfr./packing process was in spec for the particular batch.

Now that #7 is interesting, man. Beef strips in a tomato sauce? Sounds like they tryed to copy the German EPa Hamburgers in Tomato Sauce. Seems the Germans discontinued that main for a couple of years, then brought it back, due to popular demand. I'll be looking for that #7 and yes, probably be disa...

Too bad we can't go back to the late '70's. Cases of MCI's at commissary was $15.51.

Interesting new item from a 10/2017 packed case. Menu #5. Trail Mix, Recovery. Contains pretzel balls, peanuts, almonds and cashews. I give it a thumbs up.[attachment=0]Recovery Mix 002.jpg[/attachment][attachment=1]Recovery Mix 003.jpg[/attachment]

I'm still trying to figure out the purpose of the Type 13 Chi-Com ration. Contains 2 320 gram mains, a tiny vege pack and a drink mix. WTF? Over.

it's real simple. They "SUCK", to begin with. They should get the British or European Orifo kool-aid packets. Even the Canadian drink mixes are superior to ours. I'm on the phone with Trump now, complaining about it.

I've eaten a bunch of British rat-packs over past couple years, thanks to Foreignmre and other suppliers. I agree with Rahzmataz on these. Maybe good for last resort emergency food kit only. The British Army should coat their grenades with this stuff for extra fragmentation effect.

This one had odd 'over-stickers' on most items. I carefully peeled back the '4035' sticker on the outer box. It had '3189' printed on the box. The cornflake bar had no sticker, and had a tiny stamp '3031'. I tryed a shortbread bar today at work. Not a problem. Taste the same as the day it was packag...

Had 2 of these, decided to bust one open. This one had 2 Shortbread bars, 1 Choc. Chip Desert bar, 1 Granola bar and 1 Corn Flake bar.[attachment=2]Surv. Rat 006.jpg[/attachment][attachment=1]Surv. Rat 005.jpg[/attachment][attachment=0]Surv. Rat 003.jpg[/attachment]
