I found this posted to reddit and as you would except, there's a string of somewhat amusing and obligatory comments related to Steve1989.

RationCon 2019 is about to get really really interesting.

From what i hear ( via local army navy store) that the cookies and crackers have gone off, due to extreme temperatures and poor storage conditions. My local army navy is selling $50 per case! I wanted in until i heard what people were saying about them. I hope not all are in that condition!

My rough calculations on the number of meals stated and winning bid says someone paid about $3.53 a case.
Before shipping.

"The agency said it has more meals on the island with 2020 and 2022 expiration dates."

I suppose someone has to ask the fundamental question: If they have that many unused meals in PR, why are they still sending more there? More to the point, if people there are starving, why are there any unused meals?
