FUN FACT: I joined the Army right around the time they were phasing out C-Rations and going to MREs (Meal, Ready To Eat). I never met an old-timer who thought MREs were an improvement. Us newbies didn’t much care for them either. Everyone had their own jokes on what MRE really stood for. My joke was to call it MNQRE (Meal, Not Quite Ready To Eat).

Which is why we were amazed to find out MREs were a popular item at Army surplus stores.

Anyway, the history of it is quite interesting.

A tonic for the troops,
