Great link-

I can't find the spec right now, but I think I read that they are designed to withstand a fall from 20,000 feet.

She "might be willing"...if you bring the money tomorrow? It's not like she's selling some rare and valuable collector's item. If she keeps acting like that, just tell her you might be willing to spend all your money on eBay MRE auctions instead. $5 per MRE is a decent price but it's not like she's cutting you a super-tremendous deal. You can pick up a case of 2009 MREs right now for $40 plus $20 shipping...and that comes out to $5 per MRE.

Well I got them both today! chicken with cavatelli and spaghetti with meat sauce.

there's this kid on my bus that loves bacon so i gave him the cheese bacon spread and he was squeezing it out of the pack and eating it by itself LOL. BTW that stuff smells like a cheezy baconish disaster.

edit: my mom doesn't let me order stuff online, plus out of most cases, i only like like 5 of em. plus, if you look at individual mre's on ebay, they are like 4.00 a piece plus like 5.00 shipping plus I get them quicker lol.

also, its a better deal than the civilian sure-pak 12's without heaters for 6.00 at my local army surplus.
