>>>"I have several boxes full of MREs left from the hubbys time in the military...he seldom ate his MREs...just brought them home..."<<<

When I came in from the field the kids would go nuts over my duffle bag, I didn't eat many MREs either, just stuff them in my trouser pockets, the kids would go through the pockets get their hoards and trade amongst themselves, (which was fun to watch) kids have different tastes, I shunned most all of the MREs that were red sauce or vegetarian, the kids liked the red sauce stuff and it took two veggie packs to trade for just about anything.

The little Tabasco bottles were all mine, they are even good after they turn yellow, I'd carry them back into the field with me (just in case)

Cute story about your kids...

I myself have eaten a few MREs...sometimes when the hubby was not at home for dinner, and I did not feel like cooking for just myself, I would crack out an MRE...I actually did enjoy a number of them that I had tried...but my hubby just wont touch them...but like you, the little Tabasco bottles were his...
