I really wish Ebay made it easier to report asshats like this misrepresenting his product. Some newbs are gonna get ripped off - not to mention food poisioning if they try to eat these after 2010...

I wrote to the guy and, after comparing what he was selling to the MRE menus, told him how old those were.

I also asked him if he ate the #2 meal, Corned Beef Hash.

No reply.

Still, "expiration date 2010"??? Where in world did he get that?

I ate a 13 year old Corned Beef Hash MRE a while back and it was still good. :-)

How'd he get that expiration date of 2010? My first guess is that he pulled it out of his ass. But then again, maybe he saw the inspect date was 1990 and figured they were still good for 20 years. Uh huh.
