What's The Best MRE? Taste Test - Summary

Summary

The transcript is from a video titled "Good Mythical Morning," which celebrates Veterans Day. The host and co-host discuss the concept of "Meals, Ready to Eat" (MREs) that are eaten by troops around the world. They mention that these meals can last between five and ten years and are designed to withstand extreme conditions.

The host and co-host then sample and rank several MREs, with the host stating that they have saved leftovers for up to eight days.
