Here"s another MRE review that has been in storage at 80 + degrees most of the year for as long as I have owned them.
2008 MENU 20
SPAGHETTI WITH MEAT AND SAUCE: Tasted okay, had flavor but not much of a smell. Could feel the chunks of meat still solid. Topped off with the greenTabasco sauce. Bottle appeared to be half full and there were no leaks.
CHERRY BLUEBERRY COBBLER: This had a slight odor and was hesitant to eat it. Did take a few nibbles. Was kinda of clunky and very very dark.
BAKED SNACK CRACKERS: These were still crispy and had plenty of taste.
Like the Blueberry I couldn't say much for the CHEESE SPREAD. It didn't smell bad, was rather dark at the outer edges and somewhat clunky/hard. It tasted okay.
The CHIPOTLE SNACK BREAD did have an odd odor like of a vinegar type and looked rather dark. I took a few nibble and it really didn't taste right.
LEMON AIDE DRINK was hard but dissolved with 16 oz of water and tasted very good and sweet.
OVERALL: I would say the meal was starting to fail and in a survival mode it would of sufficed.
