Enlisted US Army here! Can confirm: the garlic mashed potatoes are always like that. I'm pretty sure the gum is laxative gum but they might've been messing with us, regardless it's always hard and chewy like that. I'm just glad you picked one of the better entrees, the meatballs are pretty coveted!
The meatballs are mid. Southwest black bean stew is top tier
You're supposed to add water to the potatoes, though they still aren't very good.
@@jtreed3296 nah man, chili mac is top tier
I loved the poppy seed lemon cake during my military time.
@@cynthialfreeman5156 I was so freaked out when they fielded that. I avoided poppy seeds during my entire military tenure because I didn't want to pop hot on a whiz quiz
i genuinely didn’t think there were any more rations they could get their hands on and was undoubtedly disappointed but i should never have doubted ollie
Ollie probably can find 100 years old canned food if he wants to.
@@leeboonkang2 don’t give him any ideas 😂
The U.S. has so many branches of military they could probably get meals from each one and cover 100+ videos
@@JeremyMYG and there's over 190 countries so they have atleast that many videos
@@zakiry8634 it’s exciting, really
I'm curious how Ollie's digestive system is later. American MREs have a reputation for causing constipation, especially the cheese.
that is what the gum is rumored to be for. He gets to see if the laxative myth is true as well.
That's by design, don't want to get caught with your pants down
its one extreme or the other lol either constipation or the opposite.
constipation? the cheese? i dont know about navy mre's but army mre's cause the opposite of constipation. projectile as it were...
@@RoshammboGamming prostipation?
Fellas as a retired U.S.Marine, here a few tips with MREs, anything in a red sauce like meatballs you can eat cold, anything white like potatoes, rice or noodles in white sauce is almost inedible cold. You should have been able to slide the meatballs and mash potatoes into the heater and then close to top and lean it against something at an angle. Also MRE heater fumes are not good so you should have done that outside. From basic troops to special operators folks will strp down MRE to make them lighter and take only the ones you can eat cold sometimes. My wife and I love your channels Semper Fi.
Oohrah!
Thank you for the your service even though I live in the Philippines
Or if you absolutely need to have stripped down rations, aren't there the first strike rations now that are all edible cold?
@@lrom5445 probably, I have avoided eating MRE since retiring.
USAF 1A7 here. Yeah, the strip downs do occur but honestly, I'm one of those people who can eat them all cold. Don't care about the taste, if in a forward combat location, taste isn't important, only nutrients.
The meatball MRE was my favorite one in the Army. I used to trade candy to get it. You should shake & knead the heating pouch. To thoroughly wet the chemical pack for it to really fire up.
You also want it on an angle on a rock or something,
not flat.
Mine was Chicken-a-la-king. Some other good ones out there.
@@josephbrandon549 Chicken Stew was good. I liked the hot dogs too as long as they were heated.
@@josephbrandon549I ate a lot of the early MREs(84-90) and chicken-al-a-king was one of my favorites.
Hi there 😊 love your stuff. I am an American and I was enlisted. I can answer some of the questions you guys asked. So it says "warfighter" because a soldier is a specific title to an individual in the US Army. Marines are called marines. Navy is sailors. Airforce is air men. So, it's a big deal to a LOT people here. Oh and if you try American MRE's again I highly recommend the vegetarian or chili-mac options. Just douse it in the included hot sauce and you'll be alright. Otherwise the texture and "real meat" will mess up your stomach. They're meant to last for like 25-50 years. Oh and the cookie, cracker, pound cake, etc will dry you out so drink plenty of water. They make a ton of different versions of these some even included candy, like reap skittles and Starburst. It's an entire culture. Good luck 👍
Oh and warfighter just means it's someone who's gone to a war zone/ active combat. The term is just barely generic enough to not upset the die hard title enthusiasts 😉👍
Was thinking this when Ollie was saying it. A Navy SEAL will NOT be your friend if you call them a soldier
cheese tortilini, beef stew and pot roast are great too.
I commented similar about the name thing. I find all the different slang terms for each branch of the military kinda fun I don’t know if our British military is the same (probably) but I’d love it if we have similar to ones like chair force and jar head. It’s very cliquey like high school but people always gather in groups of like minded friends and teams and tell outsiders they can’t sit with us at lunch.
@@JLoDucky nah we’re not ragin idiots like them, soldiering is a job and marines are still soldiers in the uk
Josh & Ollie pull out the "teriyaki" beef jerky and make amaze face over the fact it's a condensed cylinder.
People in USA are like, "Um, ya'll don't have Slim Jims in the UK?"
Considering when they were in the US they bought huge quantities of jerky and tried them...they even did an episode comparing different ones.
American living in the UK....can confirm no Slim Jims. The closest thing I can think of are called Pepperami. They’re like Salami but breadstick sized. They’re sold in the refrigerated section.
The UK doesn’t have slim Jim’s??? Those are such a staple here omg
@@juliarunn5009 I’ve seen them in import stores a few times (for a HUGE markup) but they aren’t in the British Snack culture. No cheese whiz either.
@@phoenixfire8978 The poor, deprived Brits! Cheese whiz on Slim Jims is awesome.
As the child of veterans and having tried MREs myself, I screamed when they ate the cheese. "Don't do it, you won't be able to poop for a week!" 😅😂 Some of the MREs aren't bad though. The milkshake is awesome. My dad loved the Fruit Cake.
The American cheese spread stops you pooping? For the Brits, it's the brown biscuits which do that. At least the fruit biscuits have the opposite effect
@@archerymidnight3422 the gum is the opposite of the cheese. you lick the gum and youre on the toilet for the rest of they day lol🤣🤣
@@wellifailed392 that shit's more sorbitol than gum lmao
@@archerymidnight3422 Lol, I learned the hard way about sorbitol (had never of it) as a first year college kid on a train to NY when a friend innocently offered me (and our other friends) a candy with that stuff in it. Let me tell you, it was awful. We got caught in what was then dubbed the Storm of the Century and were stuck on that train for 12 hours. Ugh. Never again. Thankfully the horror subsided after a few hours, but I felt like I had been punched in the gut by a prize fighter. My friend had a stomach made of steel and didn’t know what the problem was with the rest of us. Strangely enough, I’m an adventurous eater and love hot and spicy foods, but that sorbitol crap needs to be thrown in a dumpster fire.
@@archerymidnight3422 Yeah. If in a survival instance, you want to be constipated. You eat the cheese with no gum. If not in a scenario with directed fire, you can eat the cheese and go ahead and chew the gum. A lot of the food generally constipates you though, not just the cheese. It's because it's insanely high in nutrients and calories. It's basically a lead weight when in your gut that keeps you going for the entire day. Amazing stuff.
They are designed to last 5 years but if kept in 75 degree temps, they can last up to 10 years. Some MRE's can last 20-30. When you strip down MREs, you can build them for when you don't want to use the heater or, when you want items that last much longer or for other purposes. The bags can be resealed with a heat press.
To all of the military men and women in this chat - thank you for your service
Former US Army as well now living in London. My favorite MRE was the Beef Stew. The absolute worst one is the Omelet. Stay away! or if you are Ollie Buy a pack of them and make everyone try it for a video lol. Love you guys keep it up! Also those things are good for at least 25 years
I think they finally replaced the omelette, but I think the replacement was worse because it’s some kind of spinach and cream pasta. So just green gloop with bits of pasta gloop.
We had a guy that actually liked the omelet MRE, or at least he claimed to. Somehow that was the weirdest thing about that guy. He seemed totally normal otherwise, but you just know he had deep troubles hidden if he liked them dang things.
In my day (80’s and early 90’s) the best one was meatballs in bbq sauce. You’d crumble the crackers into the meatball pouch, and sprinkle in some Tabasco. The worst was either the chicken a la king (literally smelled like cat food), or the dehydrated hamburger steak, which tasted like a watery sponge. :)
What was wrong with the omelette? It sounds so innocent...
@@madeinbusanjkjm its like eating a slimy sponge lol. Its made from like powdered egg.
You always seem to post just before I eat lunch and then I get to sit down and eat with a video it's so perfect thank you 😌
It's breakfast for me
same 🤣 love it
And I am about to eat dinner! 😁
I finished dinner now
I also watched this while chomping on some ham sandwiches
Female Soldier here. Watching some British dudes being confused about my old food brings me joy XD But Ollie, when you said Navy Seals are the strongest in the ARMY, I almost died. No no no!
Lol
Who is then??? From sweden
@@johankarlsson5933 What she meant was that Navy Seals are in the NAVY, not the Army. When you are in the military, there is always rivalry amongst the Branches(think of it as sports teams) so thats why lol. Greetings from Chicago, USA :)
Fun fact, the spoon in the American MRE has a confirmed kill in combat!
Yeah, those spoons weren't the flimsy, weak kind of plastic spoons people are used to buying in the store. They were long enough to reach into the bottom of the food pouch & were considerably stiffer as well.
"You'll put a eye out!"...LMAO!
as an italian myself, i’m just gonna pretend i never saw those iTAliAn breadsticks
I’m American and even I was thinking ‘how dare you’ when I saw those sorry things 😂
lol
@@ranga1cat
Same tbh. Disgrace.
You have my deepest sympathies for that insult to Italian food.
Don't expect gourmet. It's a mass produced MRE (designed to last 25+ years), not your grandmother's kitchen with fresh food made of love and tradition. It's more about having a decent flavor than looking the part, in an MRE. The Jolly duo did say they tasted good, when they tried them.
The MREs are also perfectly safe to eat without heating, if you're in a situation where you can't heat it
They also last a *looong* time, so if it "expired" in 2015, then it was probably made in the 90s
Hi Jolly! I’m a combat medic in the US Army. I’ve been watching you guys since 2015. I’m so glad you tried our MREs.
Oh wow, you started watching when this specific MRE was made/expired. How interesting!
@@chanceshadow ever heard of a coincidence. No need to have an attitude its a video.
@@jordanjose6475 I wasn't though. I was being sincere. I found that interesting :o
The Teriyaki Beef Sticks look like they're the Navy's generic version of Slim Jim's. They're a popular snack in America, although they're thinner and way longer. But for rations, I can see how you'd need them much shorter, lol.
But yeah, they're good right?
prolly most likely a old wisconsin beef stick...
those hormel completes u see in the grocery stores i do believe was working with the army at one point to make new shelf stable menu's
I swear, Ollie would win at the game "Truth or Dare" every time.
There's not a single dare he wouldn't accept lol
That depends on how you define "winning" 😆
Fun fact. The manufacture date is what is stamped. Every 5 years they get a recertification for "freshness". If one MRE in a case doesn't pass. The whole case fails 😅
So if the date says 2015 and wasn't recertified in 2020, it's only 2 years out of date? Not too bad, then.
@@kathilisi3019 Depends. A case can get continually recertified. I forget the actual allowance. But I think the cap is 10 or 15 years 😅
Speaking to the volume of the packaging josh is correct, if you're in close combat needing to be quiet then there's no shot you get to cook your MRE. You just pop it and eat as is
Exactly. Most operators or forward mission types build their MREs before leaving. They pull stuff from them and make their own, then reseal the bags with a heat stamp (bag reseals easily). Often you get items that can be eaten cold without any problems. For me, I can eat everything cold, so it's a non-issue. I often prefer my actual lunch and dinner cold normally.
"It smells chemically..." Well, yeah, you're cooking something without a flame. ROFL
As an avid hiker. There is something about “trail food”/“field food”. Try this stuff after 4 day in the woods. Everything tastes miraculous!!!
Jalapeno cheese spread is significantly better than anyone would expect on the first viewing. Heat it up with the packet some to improve it even more. Also, Soldiers (Army), Marines, Sailors (Navy), Airmen(Air Force) are all together "warfighters"
Oh! So you shouldn't call Marines, Air Force, or Navy "soldiers" since that's relegated to Army? That's interesting
@@ashleybroening6933 Correct, most will understand being called a soldier but, yes, there is a bit of pride in being called the correct term for the branch you serve in.
@@haklor5102 I like that. I'm trying to come up with examples of other professions that are like this, but my examples (being called Dr instead of Mr after you complete your doctorate, being called a mom for the first time after you finally get pregnant with your first child) don't really seem to fit. But I'm happy to know the right terms for the branches of the military now so I can use them when I have a chance!
You left out the Guardians, better not upset Specialist Potato.
Armed Forces?
YAY! I missed this series! I hope you guys continue eating army rations from more countries! Just try not to burn your new studio down like in the Russian and French army rations videos HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
You guys never fail to make me smile.
I cackle at the way Ollie is fixated on the word "warfighter" 😂🤣🤣
"We're gonna do our warfighting in the toilet..." AJKAJDKFFJKFLGKGKALLOPJA I CAN'T 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
As a retired U.S. Navy dude (stationed mostly in San Diego), I can positively state that the MREs have really improved. I didn't spend my entire 24 years stationed on ships, but did a lot of shore duty. We were constantly involved in these field exercises, mostly disaster recovery, nuclear war scenarios, etc., in Fort Hunter-Liggett, California, where I've had at least 2 lifetimes of meals created by Chef MRE! Its a shame they don't put in more than one heater packet per pouch, nobody in their right mind drinks cold coffee in the morning, especially at early 0-dark-thirty in the morning in Hunter-Liggett, California!
The funny thing is... Ollie, the one with the potato allergy, was the one with enough balls to try the mash 😂
OMG, I totally forgot that he's allergic.
😂😂 I remember eating MREs when I was in the beginning stages of the Air Force. All the days of eating at sketchy Florida gas stations had prepared me for eating those MREs during training. 😂😂😂😂
As an active duty enlisted army member here I can wholeheartedly tell you the mashed potatoes are always like that and the gum is definitely a laxative
2015 just means it was manufactured in 2015. There are no expiration dates on US mre's cause they are meant to last for a super long time, typically up to 6+ years. But people say 4 years is when the food starts to taste weird.
Ollie adding solid cheese to everything is the most american thing tbh
OMG! As a Navy Seabee Vet, this cracks me up!!!
That MRE will stay for a week in your system now. As a veteran myself I hated eating those things but I had to. Also you don't need to worry about it being "out of date". When you opened the potatoes I could literally remember that damn smell. LMAO!!!
So sweet to see you both giggling like this. Stop being adorable. Stop it.
Not military myself, but I used to work with a former army cook who was assigned TDY to a seal team, and apparently the seals have a weird diet. They'd go out on a mission at sunset, get back sometime between dawn and a week later. They'd subsist on field rations the whole time out, which is way more than almost any other US military unit does these days, and my coworker had to be ready to feed them real food at a moment's notice when they got back to base. The other cooks would look at him weird for making dinner at 0600h, but what else do you feed someone who just got off a hard shift at work and is getting ready for bed?
Also, I'm pretty sure terms like "war fighter" are to keep anyone from getting confused that maybe these rations are for someone else. Everyone in the Navy is called a "sailor," even if they're a seal ground combat team, and marines are always called "marines" ; only army are called "soldiers." I don't think anyone cares about civilians like you and me calling all ground troops "soldiers," but the word has a more specific meaning among actual military personnel.
Yeah, I was a sailor, squid, and spook. - BG
This is exactly what I needed at 2:32am here in New Zealand!!!! It's also my birthday so the timing is perfect 🥳✨
Happy Birthday
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHELLA !!🥳 Enjoy your day and BE SAFE !!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
Happy Birthday!
Happy birthday! Hope you have a good one!
To note for Josh and Ollie, even if an MRE or ration is out of date, if properly stored, a nice tasting MRE can still be very good. If you watch one of the MRE review guys out there, one of the big guys who does a lot of ration reviewers, Steve1989MREInfo, can say some of the basics for telling if the food and items in an MRE is still okay, somewhat, like if the drink powders are a solid block, they are no longer good, if the tin for canned cheese or jam is bulging despite being properly sealed, they are probably also gone too bad. More of the dehydrated and drier stuff, if stored properly are still really good today, if I recall one such rations was a West Berlin survival ration or something. If the food is able to be stored properly, nothing is there to decompress the food further and make it rot, and oxidation isn’t an issue, then you will that your MREs should be fairly safe to eat, all you would have to worry about is if they made the food taste good.
Edit: to note, maybe you should have had the priest and the major twin duo come in and do MRE reviews with you.
I’d love to see you guys do a collaboration with someone to develop a Michelin star MRE. Seems right up your alley.
Won't that be something like the French MRE?
They could do it with Gabie!
@@Violetsviolence Great idea! And it would be cool to have a Michelin star chef taste test it. And also Reverend Chris’ brother for the military taste tester.
세상의 전투식량이 맛있어지는 그 날까지♡♡♡모든 군인분들 수고가 많으세요 항상 감사합니다!
First time to see a video when it's released
Same here
As a US Combat Veteran...I really enjoy your facial reaction to MRE's...ive both done and witnessed those reactions 😄
Btw...there are dozens of better rations...the mash is awesome heated
The best thing about the MRE is the chemical heating pack can be used in the winter to warm you up. I used to put them between my BDU shirt and my t-shirt. They would keep me warm for hours.
You guys could have the craziest conversations over coffee time, comparing different army rations :D
Really enjoying these videos, have you guys thought of trying army rations from any African country outside of Egypt? Although it might be difficult to acquire, it would be a cool video to see.
We had 2 names for MREs when I went to the Navy in 2001, M-eals R-ejected by E-thiopians (no explanations needed, but yeah fucked up) and Desert Storms because it was supposedly from the 1st Gulf War.
Im celebrating Lunar New Year with my family now in Vietnam 🎆 This is like the 1st gift, the 1st luck i get from you lol Your videos entertained me a lot in 2021 and hopefully bring people more joy and positivity in 2022 ❤️
Watching your videos are like waiting for the christmas time, with jolliness everywhere. The only difference is Christmas comes once a year and your JOLLY videos comes throughout the year🤗. I loooove your channel and I am literally binge watching now 🥰
Guyss, please try Pakistani snacks or food if possible please! Been your fan from the start and I love your videos, they always comfort me after a long day! Thank you for your videos.
At this point, I'm sorta waiting for Oli to come up with his own Jollybee ration pack.
You need to copyright this and make Ollie autograph a sweatshirt for you in return for using the idea!
US Civilian here... I got cases of MREs around for emergencies for years, and they're not that bad compared to a lot of other emergency food items (there are better ones, but these are convenient). They are good for many years after the dates- might be a little less flavorful, but they're safe. I got a French one after you did the episode on that, and WOWZA - even though I haven't tried it yet, the packaging and branded items are amazing- mine has cannele in it ! And the pouch-o-spuds DOES need to be heated and stirred up... adding the cheese to those helps. The cookies are all dry- but at least you didn't get Skittles with multiple artificial colorings and titanium dioxide ! MREs are also good in storms that cause power outages. The heating packs are too hot initially, but feel great if it's cold and my hands get nippy. The MREs are cooked just prior to packing, so it is relatively fresh, since it goes from cooked to pouch pretty quickly. I'm on an international MRE quest now (I'm housebound, so low maintenance with entertainment 😂). You guys have been a godsend.
Yes!! Back to the ration packs
I love these MRE videos you guys do! And that bad coffee stank face! lmfao. Time to rejoin and become a full jollybean again. ^^
The MRE was definitely out of date. It was made in 2015, and they last 3 to 5 years depending on what temp they were stored.
What do you mean? That’s exactly when you’re supposed to eat them, not until after the candy is expired. That’s the marine corps way, the only way
In 1964 I was stationed in Northern Greenland (north of Thule AFB) with the U.S. Army 46th Engineers. One day were were snowed in our huts and ate "C" rations (I never did find out what the "C" stood for) and they were delicious. They were packaged in the early 1940's. They weren't as good as the food served to us in Greenland, but far better than we had in the states. I remember a ham and egg combo that came out of a can, like a wide soup can, but don't recall if we were able to heat it.
5:19 the most british “no” ever
@ Jolly On today's episode Josh and Olli eat outdated food while remembering the bit from the Pound Cake scene in British soldiers eat Korean MRE's. "It's sucked all the moisture from my toenails to my brain" while eating a cookie. ROFL guys.
간만에 돌아온 군대 전투식량 먹어보기 시리즈군요
매우 좋습니다
Long-time-no-see army ration series.
Great.
I swear Olly was an American soldier in a previous life. His can do attitude about shoving everything into the heater was spot on! And yes the cheese spread goes on literally everything in the MRE haha (except maybe the coffee) haha more edits, the coffee is better just downing the grounds without making it and also MREs don't go out of date they are apocalypse meals (like canned goods)
My favorite MRE was the chicken fajita with the jalapeno cheese sauce and peanut butter MnMs. Good stuff
Is Ollie okay after this? He loved that cheese and that cheese is known for making you constipated lmao
I heard the gum provided is a laxative and Ollie chewed it so he'll be fine...I guess?
Yaaay something good to watch on lunch break😂💕💕💕
I was the Wardroom Cook on a LST in the 90's, had embarked Marines onboard for Team Spirit exercise. The Marine Captain in charge was gone on an exercise for 4 days and when he came back and sat down to eat, he said he's been eating MRE's for 4 days and he needs regular food that will make him crap again. We gave him another plate for the cause.
I just started my break at work, perfect timing! Thank you🙌🏼
I have a feeling major Charles would love this meal kit after watching him with the British ones while in Korea lol
I am always so concerned for Ollie’s stomach 😂
0:33 "Out of all the soldier" oh ollie 😂Man kind of struggled a bit with that 😂 you could just say military branch to state or call out all kinds of military branch there are.
Fun fact, Water rations or supplies are usually very limited so a good substitute to activate the reaction is to pee in the bag, atleast that's what UK warfighters are taught
Oh nice! Hoping for more International Army ration episodes.
I wonder if Josh and Ollie can interview a former SAS like Ant middleton. Would that be possible or... Dangerous ?? 🤣
Been tired and stressed from studying today. And you posting at the right time 😭❤️.
These guys bring amazing energy. Keep up the great work!
Make your own Korean toast rations for people who live overseas or can't visit the restaurant.
Hell yeah! MORE JOLLY!!!
Thank you for getting me through the day 🙌
There are mixtures that work really well together. The pound cake, peanut butter and spiced apples are my favorite. A simple jalapeño cheese and vegetable crackers are my next favorite. Basically have to know which packages they are in and hope you can get the combos 😂
The cobbler with crumbled up cookies is amazing
“it’s like a carnivorous twizzler” 😭
Still so many more rations from other countries to try! Also, you guys really need to perhaps start getting MREs that are not expired....
Army Veteran here! The cookies are always dry they go good with a hot cup of coffee!!
I’ve been in the US Air Force for 4 years I have never tried the cheese on the meatballs I can’t wait for MREs now! Thank you for that!
You must heat the Mash Potatoes and maybe add a slight bit of water to reactivate the texture. Cold garlic in anything doesn't taste too good, but heated up is a whole different experience. You have to allow the Meatballs at least 10 to 15 minutes in the heating bag and it's best if it's heated along this way the heat distributes better and faster. The eating bag would be placed upright so the water doesn't cover the entire bag. Your food won't heat well at all. Lean it against something to keep the water at the bottom so it will create steam. Soldiers in the field often carry a cooking kit with them but if they don't these heating bags are essential and you might want to heat the water before making the coffee. These meal rations are still good because they are sealed airtight so air can't get in to spoil the food. They teach this is basic science... oxygen causes food to decompose (re; rot) because of the bacteria the food is exposed to and what natural bacteria that's already in the food products themselves. Depriving this bacteria of air kills it off the food is left unspoiled until it's exposed to air again where bacteria can get back into the food or reanimate within to food. So unless the seals are broken the food remains fresh and ready to eat.
Can we have Armand and Max as a Guest on Jolly 😊👍🏼
As I was informed, a lot of mres people sell are actually from companies that make them, not the actual us military. The difference is the privately made ones last at most 5 years, and they have significantly less calories. Versus the official ones that have over 2000 calories, last 10 years, and are better quality.
I'm Air Force veteran and in basic training 1983 we got C rations. The can of apricots stamp date was 1967. They were good.
Petetion for Jolly to start KOREAN LESSONS with Ollie again'!!! Pwlease 🥺❤️❤️
Navy SEAL… Army rations.
I sense a slight contradiction there.
Isn’t the navy just the army of the ocean?
My husband is a 101st Airborne veteran & the meatball ration was one of his faves 🤣
I just found your channel about a week ago and I haven’t stopped laughing yet. You two are awesome. Watching from Florida 🤗🤗
I'm in Jax, FL..LUV these guys!!!😘💕👌👌
We need an update on what happened later 🤣
Would love to see you try Swedish army rations!
Wouldn't that be Meatballs, meatballs, tinned fish and..... meatballs?
New video and a lunar new year!! ❣️
The jalapeño spread is best enjoyed after a day of marching with it in a front pocket. It gets warm and massaged. Makes it infinitely more spreadable. That stuff was as good as cash in the field.
I'm glad you kinda liked US MRE. Because, except for the French one, you gave out an impression that Korean MREs are the best and most 'technologically' advanced in the world. While the US military have been using a chemical heating system for decades now. (Koreans got it only a couple of years ago). So go USA! Well done.
Josh and Ollie would be doing a great job as Masterchef judges
My uncle use to bring home rations from the marine reserves and us cousins will try them out!! The snacks were our favorites!!
3:18 At a distance that Italian bread stick looks like shortbread biscuits. (The cheaper ones are sometimes plastic wrapped biscuit blocks.)
I feel like Josh and Ollie’s New Years resolution should be double checking to make sure the food that they eat on this channel is in date lol 😂
I love how the Vietnam soldier in the thumbnail is just a green boot, not even SOG or a Navy Seal 😂. Gosh I love jolly!
Vietnam soldier?
@@rachelcookie321 The little United States Vietnam-era soldier in the bottom right corner of the thumbnail, besides the Navy Seals emblem.
@@TheFemaleJesus98 what makes them Vietnam era? Just looks like a regular depiction of a soldier to me.
@@rachelcookie321 You can tell by the uniform he's wearing. For example, the helmet he's wearing is no longer used - along with the webbing he has on his chest. (More importantly, he's wearing a jungle pattern, something that's only used in jungle environments, being the main giveaway he's a US Vietnam era soldier)
I think that's just Ben Stiller from Tropic Thunder lmao
I only ate MREs during exercises, so it was sort of fun. In the 80s they had a dehydrated sausage patty that you could eat dry (like eating sausage flavored chalk, crunchy and satisfying) or you could rehydrate it with boiling water. The ham was revolting, but probably ok if you were actually in combat and hungry. My favorite was always the meatballs. You got lucky.
I was lucky enough in Desert Storm to be in a unit that had its own generators as we had to provide electricity for communications and other functions. We placed the MRE packets on the hot manifold and they turned out pretty good. We had a tent , sort of like, to get out of the heat and just take a breather and there was a table where any uneaten MRE items were put there so you could have a snack if you wanted to. Worked out pretty well. I also ate a lot of C-Rations in 'Nam and it would take too long to compare them to MREs but suffice it to say both are very different in their own sort of way.
