Hello Again, What a mashup of a meal! Manufactured by Ameriqual Packaging. Now, I know this is a favorite meal of many, but I always have a healthy dose of skepticism. Everyone's tastes are different and I might've been the odd girl out who just didn't have the same love for this meal that everyone else had. Luckily, though, that wasn't the case here. First Thing's First - The Date: This MRE actually has the date code, unlike my last meal, in the standard area (on the outside of the bag). This meal was packaged on the the 33rd day of 2015 (5033), meaning February 2nd 2015. A young MRE. The Components: What's Included: White Wheat Snack Bread Cheese Spread with Jalapenos  Beef Snack Lemon Lime Beverage Base Powder Meatballs in Marinara Sauce Potatoes Au Gratin Trans Fat Free Vanilla Pound Cake Hot Beverage Bag Flameless Ration Heater Spoon Accessory Packet C (Coffee, Non-Dairy Creamer, Splenda, Chewing Gum, Moist Towel

Hey Everyone! My first MRE! Genuine MRE manufactured by The Wornick Company. Here it is! The first review.

Let's start with the date: I couldn't find a date code stamp on the outside of the MRE bag, so I turned to the contents for info. Based on the cappuccino and the entree, this MRE was produced in early/mid 2015, so it's a pretty recent one. The Components: What's Included: White Wheat Snack Bread Peanut Butter Blackberry Jam Brisket Entree ("Gravy with Seasoned Beef Brisket") Garlic Mashed Potatoes Irish Cream Cappuccino, Instant Powder Oatmeal Chocolate Chunk Cookie Accessory Packet B (Lemonade Base Powde
