You’re right. They are super cheap. Actually one way I like them is substituting Chinese hot chili paste instead of the flavor packet. Sort of a poor man’s Hunan style noodle.
yep, been there, done that.
That just proves you are a man.
If you’re not in ‘survival’ mode, throw a few shrimp in, or a little diced, cooked chicken.
(I learned to be creative with Ramen from a Korean friend.)

MRE’s. Meals resistant to evacuation.
No ham and mofos?

When I was younger a friend in the Marines would occasionally give me MREs. My friends and I would take them camping, and when my Marine friend found out we were eating three per day he pointed out each one was to last a day - not a meal.
You betcha!
As I understand it, you would be constipated for a couple of days then the floodgates would open. Constipating someone for longer would probably cause internal injuries...
DAY-YUM, that made me involuntarily guffaw!
The “Ham Slice” was decent and needed no heating. Some of them were pretty nasty cold. And most included the “John Wayne Bar” - a piece of chocolate which resulted in your dumping a turd so big that John Wayne would be proud to claim it!
We held a competition once to see who could create one coiled up like a rattlesnake. I finished third...couldn’t get the twist quite right.
But are they halal?
Some people must be exaggerating the digestive problems caused by MREs. As I mentioned I once purchased a total of 144 complete MREs for a pittance. I was thinking that I probably ate one a week but it must have been more than that as I don’t think they lasted more than a year as that is the amount of time before I took a job which included all meals.
I never recall that I had any problems with them at all. Some were not that good but some were very good.
Major constipation.
Why don’t they just go up to the Portsmouth Naval Penitentiary and look for volnteers. Ofter prisoners time off the senrence for participating.
Meals Refusing to Exit?
Been there, done that, don’t fit into the T-shirt anymore.
You got something against Natick?
When I was on a USFS fire suppression crew in the mid 60s, we carried 2 days worth of C rats in our fire packs. These were all dated from the early 50s.
