Based purely on what I've been able to find online, we only have 20 of the things (well I guess 19 now...) considering it took almost 15 years to finally drop one, I cant imagine they've kept ordering more.....but considering some of the stupid stuff the military spends money on I wouldn't be half surprised if we did lol

Well, the MOAB is a purely military-built weapon. So, we don't exactly know the cost per drop. I've heard it's about $170k though. If the MOAB were commercially sourced, then we'd be able to see the costs of said weapon. It's certainly a LOT cheaper than the development of the MOP. MOAB likely uses already available parts so... assembly of new weapons should be relatively easy.
 
Remember when the Bush administration was pushing nuclear bunker busters?

Well the MOP was developed during the Bush administration to bust nuclear bunkers....I'd bet they could fit a nuke warhead on it if they were that crazy lol

Fun fact, the smallest nuclear weapon we ever fielded, the Davy Crocket (recoiless rifle, 3 man team on a jeep), the smallest warhead fitted on the thing had a yield of about 10 tons (most other nukes are measured in kilotons lol)....which is also how much explosives the MOAB carries.
In other words this:

has the same amount of "boom" as this:

was it all straight mac-n-cheese, or was it flavored with other stuff(bacon/other crap). I went to one when i was on vacation in SC, I was like a kid in a candy store, dumped a bit of cash, but ate soooooo much :D

Menudo, I can't really deal with, my wife makes awesome enchiladas, but she doesn't like to eat them, so they're rare here. Eating enchiladas in a strange town is kinda like ordering a basic breakfast, people don't usually screw it up.
 
I don't really like anything very sweet (don't generally like cake or donuts or soda, etc) but I do love good sweet tea. Rarely drink it, because I try to keep my sugar intake low, but I enjoy it every now and then. Usually with barbecue.
