Found the link above from reading DonP's post, and on this one it says this:
How long will it last?
The shelf life of the MRE is three (3) years at 80 degrees F. However, the shelf life can be extended through the use of cold storage facilities prior to distribution.
THREE YEARS?!... And it can be EXTENDED?!... am I the only scared of eating that stuff because of that fact?!..I mean if they were to say a general maximum of 3 years for shelf life, I'd be ",Cool, sounds fair." But to say it can be extended beyond that!... Wow, just think the next time you take a bite out of your government supplied food cartridge, this may have been cooked in a proccess plant, over 3 years ago!...
Okay okay, when you're hungry, cardboard will do, so this is that much better.

Book I'm reading now, One Bullet Away, has the author (1/1 Recon Marine) in Iraq just before the US made their push towards Baghdad, and opens up an MRE to eat the Tootsie Roll or some other snack, and on the wrapper it said
"You could win a trip for four to Barcelona to watch the Olympics!"
Ya, as in the 1992 Olympics, and this guy was one of the first Americans across the Kuwait/Iraq border............ March/April 2003. :lol:
