Sopakco 24ct US Military Surplus MRE Meals Ready to Eat 2021 Inspect A+B Case Bundle Menus 1-24

Ordered two cases to be delivered 2/26 to 2/28, cases delivered 2/22. No damage to either case. Haven't opened cases yet.

Ordered late feb 2021 when price was $166 per case (24 meals), not fluctuating up to over $200 a case. Normal and fair pricing for these for years now is about $80 to $90 a box, around $170 a case. Had these in my cart, still do now, and every couple days the price went up and down quite dramatically. Finally bought them at $166 times 2 ($322)and got 4 boxes, 48 meals, with free shipping...works out to $6.91 a meal. Not bad for keeping around for peace of mind for years on end. Shipping was fast and free and cases were properly enclosed, with standard 2 plastic strap bands, red stickers, and manu stamped exactly the same inspection dates as shown in this listing. Double boxed also. Fyi, date pkd is date they were made...ie 8044 translates to 2018 day 44(feburary)...then insp/test date of 2/21(February 2021), 3 years later, they are inspected and normally passed on to consumer market from military/fema etc stickpiles. Thats why so many amazon/ other websites have mres that already are a few years old. A couple weeks ago i consumed a 16 year old mre from a case i bought at least 12 years ago and yes i survived. As long as these stay protected from crazy heat, in a closet for example, these last a very long time. These sopakco mres have the most calories available, with the most extras too...best for use in an actual emergency to keep you alive, and the nsn #'d heaters. Same mres i had in early 90's in the marine corps so you get what you pay for. Having read this far...you decide if setting some food assurance back is a good idea in todays USA and world stage. Hope this helps you make an informed purchase decision...

Just exactly what they described: full 24-MRE both A & B menus. Price is as good as the local surplus store and its not just the unpopulare ones.Shipping was fast, packing was intact and undamaged. Will order again.

Prior experience proves their worth!

I've bought 6 cases of these, I've eaten 4 cases, I got 1 working heater out of 48. Most of them get kind of warm, but they don't work as they should.This is why they are for sale people. It is illegal to sell these unless they are bought at some kind of auction. The reason they would be sold by military: they are defective, i.e. non working heaters.Other than the heaters they are excellent. But price has gone from 166 to 270 in last 2 months.

For camping

The advertisement promises 24 meals in 24 specific menus in two boxes of 12. We received one box with 16 meals total, all low-sodium, and 12 were vegetarian (yuck). That's $14 per meal which is ludicrous. None had drinks. All are the clear-wrap lower quality meals (the advertisement is unclear so I suppose we should have expected this).My team tested the heaters and none worked, literally zero percent. Typically at least the candy is something off the shelf, but most had tootsie rolls that melted to liquid at 74F. I can see why SOPAKCO is undoubtedly the lowest bidder. This is our second disappointing experience with SOPAKCO and there won't be a third. A prompt refund for the missing third of my order would be appropriate.

If I could give zero stars I would. These are advertised as SOPAKCO. They are not! They are manufactured by Wornick Company which is not a bad company but they are known to include fewer accessory items within their MREs. That is why I wanted SOPAKCO. But they are hard to find. That is why I jumped at this offer. No where in this ad does it say that these MREs could be from a different manufacturer as most for sale adds do. They even picture SOPAKCO items in the add with not a single Wornick picture.I sent the seller a message complaining about not receiving the advertised item. They promptly offered me a partial refund because food cannot be returned. But, they never followed through and they are no longer responding to my inquiries. I paid more than what an A/B bundle costs by $35. If it were actually SOPAKCO then it would have been worth it. This is classic “BAIT AND SWITCH”, something that I didn’t expect on Amazon.Edit: to be fair they refunded me $35. So I’m happy enough. Upgraded to 3 stars.
