It can be. If you're in the USA anyways. Any even moderately sized town has an army/navy surplus store. Every one I've been to has had cases of 40 year old rations they'll practically beg you to take. I usually grab some anytime I go camping. More than once I've gotten one old enough to have cigarettes in it still. Probably not many left, but you can still find them.

Best in what sense? Are you a prepper, a larper, an outdoorsman, a collector, or an actual soldier?

>Prepper
You don't want MREs, they're not economic or efficient unless you're benefitting from a taxpayer-funded military supply line. You want a defensible homestead with immense stores of non-perishable drygoods and canned foods, combined with agricultural supplies and know-how, and hunting/fishing equipment/skills.

>Larper
You want the latest & greatest official-issue MREs sold [illegally] on eBay or at sketchy gun shows. No civilian Mountain House sloppa or Costco "survival" buckets for you! Just don't scuff your $500 Cold Steel black tactical karambit opening the package.

>Outdoorsman
An MRE can be a fun "treat" but be honest, you're usually not far enough away from home that some sausage, jerky, cheese, crackers, etc, wouldn't do the same job better.

>Collector
You want the rarest 10/10 mint unopened numbered Kyrgyzstani yak stew, at least mildly radioactive, with certificate of authenticity signed in blood by the looters who removed it from the insurgent's corpse.

>Actual soldier
MREs in their proper context should provide baseline nutrition for highly active young men, well preserved for missions from forward-operating bases or survival situations--well preserved, as light as possible, edible without standard cooking facilities. They should also provide some morale boost and comfort ("a taste of home"). Even generally speaking, both of these factors depend on the nation and military force involved. Some forces never leave their country's backyards, others are frequently abroad in hostile territory. And of course, national tastes in food vary quite a bit. In NATO countries, MREs should also contain adequate HRT supplements.

I once saw Steve1989MREInfo at a VFW gun show in Sanginaw, Michigan. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.

He said, "Oh, like you’re doing now?"

I was taken aback, and all I could say was "Nice." but he kept cutting me off and going "Nice? nice? nice?" and flexing his 'cep in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out of the VFW with like fifteen P-51 can openers in his hands without paying.

The fudd at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like "Boy, you need to pay for those first." At first Steve kept pretending to have PTSD and not hear him, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.

When the fudd took one of the can openers and started scanning it multiple times, Steve stopped him and told him to scan them each individually "to prevent any 5G infetterence," and then turned around and winked at me. I don't even think that's a word. After he scanned each P-51 and put them in a bag and started to say the price, Steve kept interrupting him by groaning really loudly as if he had food poisoning.

I met Bill Murray at the airport
I was in the toilet washing my hands then my face. I was rinsing my face with my eyes closed when I felt someone walk behind me and start massaging my shoulders. I was so terrified I couldn't say a word, as soon as I got my eyes open I looked in the mirror and saw him grinning wide as fuck. I knew it was him because he was wearing a shirt with his username on it. Then he leaned in and whispered (almost in my ear) "No one will ever believe you" and left.

No bullshit I met him at the liquor store once. He was buying some $200 15 year old scotch when I came up behind him in the cashier line. He noticed I was looking at him and realize I recognized him and smirked and nodded at me. When the cashier wasn't looking, he stealthily grabbed a handful of those $1 sampler bottles and stuffed them in his jacket pocket. He turned back to smirk at me one more time and then turned back to the cashier. He folded his hand behind his back and held up a middle finger at me until he finished his transaction. I kept staring in disbelief as he walked out of the store, now he was pretending to rub the back of his neck as the walked, but he was just showing his middle finger again.
