War in Gaza Humanitarian Ration MRE Review

I recently purchased some MRE Humanitarian Rations as the start to a little emergency food stash. I decided upon these because I saw a Palestinian eat and review one of these after the US air-dropped them to Palestinians during the war in Gaza. He hated it. He said the only thing he could choke down was the peanut butter. I wanted to know if it was really that bad.

Initially, the plan was to eat and review these with my three and 5-year-olds. We opened, ate, and reviewed one earlier today, but the sound didn't record! So, I opened a new one and re-recorded it, but my boys did not want to be as involved.

Let me know if you want to see us try to review any other MREs/rations in the comments. If you have any special requests, let us know!
