      I had MRE during hurricane sandy, when all the electricity was out. and no food stores were opened for a whole week.
      MRE saved my life on food supplies.
      I enjoyed every biting moment, when I had food while others were stealing food from supermarkets.
      At the time I got into MRE, and bought 2 boxes (18 packs each) ... my parents thought i wasted money, until Sandy happened, with MRE being extremely long shelf life, we have it in our basement at all times now. I ate twice a day considering i didnt need to use all that calories.

Engaging in gunfire, all but 1 enemy died who was trying to pull a pin off their grenade. This 1 guy rushed at the enemy before they could do that, and engaged in hand to hand combat, but couldn't get his knife due to his military gear being in the way. And so he grabbed the 1st thing he could get his hands on: his MRE spoon, and used it as a weapon to stabbed the last hostile in the neck until he died. Pretty badass

      It's a laxative the way *all* sugarfree gum is a mild laxative... there's a reason they only give them 2 pieces of gum in an MRE instead of a whole pack like you'd get at the grocery store. I remember learning this the hard way as a kid when my mom was like "oh sugarfree gum this is healthier"... now most of the time you actually can't get normal gum with sugar. :(

      @@atx_recon Xylitol is mild laxative, if you eat like a dozen of those gums it starts to show. It's a misconception that they are deliberately laced with laxative. Xylitol helps to prevent tooth decay as the bacteria in your teeth treat it like it is sugar but can not use it.

      actually in combat environments you generally eat 2 of those mres per 24 hrs and optimal is to include 1 hot meal (fresh food, when possible) and they are made for you to eat in one sitting, tho many of us save some of the snack items for when pulling security or on the move. you may be thinking of the day packs which is not what they have here and those have 2 main entrees and bunch of snacks (more then the 1500 they read) and you eat over the course of a day.
