Mini Review: 1987 FRUIT MIX

Post by ElevatorFan73 » Sat Dec 03, 2016 3:34 pm

Hi, back after a long hiatus :D

Bought some old MRE's on ebay.com, all dated from 1987. Decided to give the FRUIT MIX ago, one dry and one reconstituted.

Dry: light, airy crunch. Great sweetness, but kind of bland. Still enjoyable.

Reconstituted: A decent sweet flavor, the same one that's present when dry. Fruit was still a bit crunchy, but was not as enjoyable :( However, I did enjoy the fact that the pieces of cherry with skin on it managed to keep that same texture.

It's pretty good, but would I eat it dry or reconstituted? Definitely dry. Just more fun and a bit better in my opinion :D

I love 'em as well. Only tried these, the peaches, and the pears so far. This one is my favorite so far :)
