wiki link, if you're interested. my favorite part:
Some of the early MRE main courses were not very palatable, earning them the nicknames "Mr. E" (mystery),[3] "Meals Rejected by Everyone",[4] "Meals, Rarely Edible",[5] "Meals Rejected by the Enemy", "Meals Refusing to Excrete", "Meal, Ready to Excrete", and even "Meals Rejected by Ethiopians"[6] in reference to a country that was gripped by famine at the time. Some meals got their own nicknames. For example, the frankfurters, which came sealed in pouches of four, were referred to as "the four fingers of death."[4] Although quality has improved over the years, many of the nicknames have stuck. MREs were often called "Three Lies for the Price of One"[7] - it's not a Meal, it's not Ready, and you can't Eat it.
