CHOCOLATE COVERED COFFEE BEANS?!
do want. really want.

the new offerings sound pretty tasty. Over the past couple of years they have been adding new MRE packs and options within the old packs, and have actually made some damn good packages.

as far as where to buy? Not sure about online, except I bet ebay has a lot of offerings (I imagine cases of them too), but you can go to basically any military surplus store and buy MREs. Kind of funny because they simply use a black marker to cross out "Not to be resold" or something along those lines. Never pay attention heh. But yea, where I've seen them, they tend to be around $6 a pop. But for roughly 1200 calories, that's not a bad price. Not good, but not bad. And if you store them in a low temperature area and low light area (such as a pantry or somewhere in a basement), they'll have a shelf-life that approaches 5-8 years. However, get them in warmer environments, such as the extremes of Iraq, and they last months at best. Heat kills them, so keep them in a cool and dark place. I remember reading 60ºF is the ideal temp for storage (well, I assume colder, or a freezer, is even better... not entirely sure about that freezer idea...hmmm).

Sherpers. Is that place still around? Might just be local though.

Search for an Army Navy Surplus store type place...
