Technically, in an extremely loose sense, MRE's are supposed to be not for commercial sale. I guess they just wanted to use the more generic term RTE to avoid any possible controversy.

I've always heard of these called MRE, but on the walking dead recently, they were called RTEs. Anyone know if MRE is some sort of trademark? Showrunners just naming them wrong for whatever reason?

Curiosity is killing the cat in me.

Looks better than most MREs'...Stock-up for protracted food shortages to come near you and celebrate Xmas every day under martial law!

I think it's arguable whether printed food would be better than the MREs. It would take up less space which is an advantage.

Why? Because you say so? I don't think you even know what that means.

Gun nuts choose to believe this is all about taking their guns away so they can't fight back when the government comes knocking on their doors for... some reason. Or that it's some furtive attempt by the government to track them and get them in some national database for mysterious and spurious reasons. This belief is often revealed via terse bullet points and catchy, oft-metered phrases that don't require a whole hell of a lot of memorization or deep understanding. Just short, simplistic regurgitations of bullshit from the rightie cesspool they are drowning in.

Authoritarians? Really? An authoritarian would want ALL your guns. Are you saying any government control is authoritarian, or does the term "government control" give you the "1984" willies? Are the old ladies behind the counter at my local DMV authoritarians, or just slaves to them? How about the building inspector? Passport office? Fish and Game Department? The person who decided there needed to be a red light at an intersection where I'd never had to stop on my way to work before? IRS? Why do I need a license/permit for everything? I mean, with the exceptions of my driver's license, passport, tax returns, fishing license, trail park pass, voter registration, car registration, smog certificate, and their records on the amount of water and electricity I use, I just wish they'd respect my privacy, right?

But, this isn't a privacy issue with you guys, is it? This is about the Alex Jones/Bachman/Palin/Beck/Limbaugh (the Thousand-Yarders) fantasy world where the government is out to get you and throw your children into liberal indoctrination camps. This is about "taking your rights" from you. This is about being prepared for the coming post-zombie apocalypse you hope is right around the corner so you can justify the thousands of dollars you spent prepping. A whole industry has sprung up around prepping, and they are happy to stoke your paranoia and reinforce your belief that you really do need all this gear, not to mention the boxcar shelter buried in the back yard with a year's supply of MREs. Money in the bank.

The 2nd Amendment? It's not a holy relic. The Amendments are subject to interpretation and limitation by Congress. If Congress passes an assault weapons ban, it's not denying you your 2nd Amendment right to bear arms. It's simply defining it, just as the 1st Amendment has been further defined by the legislative and judicial branches of government since it was ratified. The 1st Amendment doesn't give you the right to slander someone, yell fire in a crowded theater, or reveal state secrets, etc., just as the 2nd Amendment doesn't necessarily give you the right to arm yourself with anything you please, wherever you please.

Good troll, btw.

Where does it say that? And what rights are being stripped? Good luck with your coup. I think you should all start immediately. Those digital camos, face paint, and Maxpeditions full of ammo and MRE's should serve you well against drones, gunships and HD satellite imaging. I'm sure Ted Nugent would be willing to bravely lead you all into battle, like he did during Vietnam.

Reminds me... got into an argument with a guy at work who thought the right to bear arms was an inalienable right. He didn't know what he was talking about either.

Personally I think her slower, mre bassy songs sound a lot better than the fast, high note & upbeat songs. The dark, mysterious, funky sound is what makes santigold stand out I think lol

>> ^00Scud00:

I think, Bacon, would be a great name.


I was thinking "MRE".

>> ^Fletch:

She reminds me of Mike Teevee from the original Willy Wonka.


wow.. big time!

Best of luck with that MRE shit tomorrow.


tomorrow? you mean 3 days from now

if mre's are good for one thing, theyre great for plugging you up

Best of luck with that MRE shit tomorrow.

Are there mre of these?

LOL the US MREs recently (within the past couple of years) started to have drink bags - just tall zip locks - so you could fill that and slide it into the heater pouch. Works pretty damn well.
