Hey guy's look up rations in EBAY and look at the stupid listings for MRE's...One listing has 9 MRE's for about 189 bucks the last time I checked with 10 dumb bidders; another one I saw said authentic IMP rations and they were just some mre rations that were repacked by some other company and the kid wanted over 200 for them.....
What the hell is going on all the sudden...it seems like the stupid ration prices are becoming more of a regular thing

I saw those "IMPs" - they were actually Meal Kit Supply MREs - which are repackaged Sopakco Sure-Paks. They're pretty good MREs...but they're not IMPs.
As to what's going on...hurricane season, my friend. If you have your eye on any MREs, but them *NOW* because once/if Gustav hits Louisiana, I'm guessing MREs will skyrocket back to their $80-$100/case prices like we saw back after Katrina.

Will make me either a rich or a fat man...
I´m happy we don´t have neither snow storms nor hurricans like you know in North America
Not just for the rations, but all the destruction and casulties

(You better say
Main with capital "M". It´s the name of our local river over here, not the english word
main (= haupt)...)
At fall we have more fog over here as we can need, but it´s just "wet air". Nothing to worry about if you aren´t a life flight crew member
