Strange places where you found MREs

[cap174]

I'm just starting this thread because I'll be going to a flea market in Bosnia in a few days, maybe I'll find some MREs or HDRs from the war...

So I was thinking - what strange places have you guys found MREs in? My uncle who was a veteran once found one behind his bookshelf and gave it to me - that was cool

When I was a teenager back in the 80's, I was picking up dog poop with a friend in his back yard. I found a C-ration can of scrambled eggs and ham buried in the ground. I ate it. Does that count?

Well, game over gents. Mike wins.

Oddest place I've found it is on a local buy and sell. Yeah, not very exciting. I mean even our Surplus stores don't have rations.

When you say, "I ate it", I really hope you were referring to the buried can of scrambled eggs and not the other thing.

I was more thinking either or.

LOL, The inner lining of the can was stuck to the edge of the eggs but I ate the rest of it. I always did love C-Rations, including the scrambled eggs.
