3.0 out of 5 stars Psuedo-MRE's....close but not quite..., June 6, 2011

This review is from: Sure-Pak Genuine GI Military MRE Meals Ready To Eat (12 Pack) (Misc.)

I know these are packed by the same people who make real MRE's, atleast that's what posted all over the internet, BUT...they are several problems with these.

1. No heaters : No where does it say that. No biggee, you can get a hexamine stove for cheap but you'll have to carry extra water and a vessel to boil the food in. Not a huge hit but it was the first indication that all was not what it should be.

2. Menu selection : This is a good or bad thing. I (luckily) got 3 meatloafs, 2 Beef Enchilada, 2 Chicken, broiled, 2 chick w/tomato sauce, and 3 Beef Stew. God Forbid I had got 3 Veggie Burgers or (gasp) 3 Ham/cheese Omelets (yuck). Not only that but the desert (chocolate cookies) and the Cracker w/ Apple Jelly was in EVERY packet...every single one had them. I know these are supposed to be camping or emergency rats...but some variation would have been nice. No bread (poppy sead or regular) and no cake loaf (lemon)...no fruit, no nuts...no nothing. OH..and they ALL had beverage, orange flavor..that's it...no coffee and no fake milkshake mix. These are definetly COST CUTTER MRE's!

3. The supposed 'real' accesories pack : One thing the internet lauded about these Superpaks was the access pack is the same as the military MRE's...NOT any more. I got a 3 tan kleenex's as my 'napkin'...a salt pack, a pepper pack, a wipe, a spoon (close but not exact).

4. Price : $74 delivered is ok. You can get REAL MRE's (I know they're illegal to sell but they are everywhere) for $85-$95 shipped. OR..You can go to any nice sized gun show and pick up cases for $70. So these were OK...but still NOT a deal..

3 stars...just "ok" is all I can say.

On the upside they were freshly made...so I can get some life out of them...which considering they are all orange drink, apple jelly, chocolate chip cookies...It will probably keep me from eating them.

Update: I just noticed the $57 Surepak page is NO LONGER ON AMAZON...I was directed to this page for my review. This page DOES say NO HEATERS...but $93.50????? REALLY?? Get real MRE's of that "bid" site for a lot less...

5.0 out of 5 stars Not bad for a MRE!, February 22, 2010

i tried these MRE's for the first time. Chicken Noodle. with the chemical heater. simple instructions to use. In a matter of 10 minutes i had a hot meal. Loved the sweeter you add to a 20 oz bottle of water. Made it taste like sweet Kool-Aid. After the main entree. there was dessert. Crackers with grape jelly and a big m&m cookie I was stuffed by then. But i still had left the coffee and sliced apples. i polished them off. And man I was full. I don't know how soliders can eat more then two of these bad boys a day. i recommend this brand. i ordered me up som moe. Word of warning. the chemical heater does create a stank. i recommend if you use it do it out doors and remove the entree entirely from the hot water so i does not remain in your nostrils for the rest of the day. use the cardboard to hold the hot entree and eat up!!!!

2.0 out of 5 stars Are they NUTS with that price?, June 4, 2006

Yes, this is the best brand of MREs out there, Sopacko, but this seller has an insane price. Other Amazon sellers, even, have these for $69 a case.
