Everyone has a story about 'that time when I had that MRE.' What is your most memorable moment with an MRE? Any particular way you consume the contents - such as adding coffee tubes to the pudding , or pouring the phony grounds of caffeine directly onto your tongue? What about using the heating element and bag as a 'fun diversion ?' Ever mixed all the little packets together, that come in the clear plastic packet, and consume as a 'hangover' remedy ?

The matches in the MRE's are also a bug repellant. My Drill Sergeant told us about this , At a meal bite off the tips of 2-4 match heads and swallow with water - kind of like little pills. The chemicals in the match heads come out in your sweat and the bugs don't like it. I always found that the bugs pretty much left me alone when I was doing this - even when others were complaining about the bugs/mosquitos/etc. Whenever I didnt eat the match heads I would get various bug bites.
So I don't recommend this as it has been proven false.

The gelatinous sludge the five fingers of death were embalmed with repelled ants. Used it to keep ants off of us at a ARNG training area on Cape Cod.

2LT Chris Loomis Sir are you even old enough to remember dehydrated pork or beef patties? They went out in Desert Storm.

My favorite MRE experience was when I saw about 200 boxes of em locked up in a water shed to be forgotten in lieu of a dining facility.

C-Rations were pretty much uneatable unless "blended" with other boxes. The folks at Tabasco used to send over cases and that was the magic ingredient about 99% of the time.
Is that still the deal?

Do the tabasco folks still send the bottles?
If so I'm going to go out and buy a couple of bottles just for support
