MRE...or Meals Ready to Eat are what our troops eat when they are in the battlefield. Most MRE's are good for 3-5 years. They can last longer if they are kept in cold storage. I use them when taking day-long hiking trips. Our soldiers during World War II got cigarettes in their MRE's. Today's MRE's have chewing gum instead.
