12:50 “Come to the ‘Red, White, and Blue’ side we got fucking ice cream”….. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was on food stamps as a kid in the 70’s.. I LOVE GUBMENT CHEESE.. He was right when he called it “CRACK”.. That shxt was the thing I waited for EVERY MONTH..
ther goverment cheese was so good, because the US Goverment, accidentaly barrel aged the cheese in a dark tempreture controlled enviroment.
It was the best! I’m jonesin’
My grandma got government cheese when I was real little.
man it’s so creamy you wanna put it on everything, literally everything.
The Destroyer USS Kidd was known as the "Pirate of the Pacific" for the crew's ability to extort more ice cream for every downed pilot they rescued and returned to their carrier. The standard "ransom" was 5 gallons of ice cream/pilot. The Kidd's crew negotiated successfully for more. I believe they were the only US Navy Destroyer who flew the Jolly Roger flag.😁
IIRC, that negotiation came when the Navy's top pilot at the time, William "Killer" Kane, was shot down, and the Navy was desperate to find him because it was reported that he had successfully bailed out into the water.
Again, IIRC, Kidd eventually came up flashing its signal light, sending the message "How much ice cream for Killer Kane?" because they had found and rescued him. They requested double the "ransom," and the Navy simply went, "Fine, take it."
I love this story. I slept on the USS Kidd in Baton Rouge twice as a teen. It was an amazing experience
The current USS Kidd is still the only ship authorized to fly the Jolly Roger flag.
Hmmm. This has got me thinking. Us Kiwis here in NZ don't have much military, but we do have concrete and we really do have plenty of ice cream. We are two thirds of the way towards a massive military fighting machine right there.
hearing these tales of what anerican soldiers did for ice cream makes the british tanks with tea making facilities sound less silly :D
For warm leaf-water? That IS still weird.
I would also say it also greatly diminishes the flex that they are so proud of as well. oh you waste space in your tank to brew tea? We built entire barges out of CONCRETE so we could have ice cream while island hoping the japs lol
It's understandable to me because as far as I understand it those tank engines could be very hot and therefore it would be naturally good at making tea as long as you set a kettle in the right place, plus it can't be difficult to add some light weight teabags to your supplies. Makes even more sense to me being that there have been Americans who have actually cooked a meal on the side of the road while on road trips on their engine blocks with a pan or tinfoil. Not to mention on a cold day there's nothing like a hot drink when you're far from home whether you prefer tea, coffee, or hot chocolate.
@@riverlady982i mean yeah nobody really thinkts the brits are dumb for the whole tea thing, thats literally just brits they need tea or they will just curl up and die i dont blame them
You put little machines in tanks and we had ships dedicated to ice cream. Pretty sure the clear winner here is ice cream.
My grandfather was on the Lexington when we scuttled her during the battle of the coral sea, he said that him and his friend grabbed a5 gallon tub of vanilla ice cream and ate it between the two of them before jumping into the ocean
I'm from Wisconsin- rural/dairy Wisconsin in fact, and yeah we know, we just the foot soldiers in the Dairy Mafia.
From what everyone that has tried blocks of government cheese back in the day has told me it was the best cheese ever! They said it also made delicious grilled cheese!
Absolutely!
Not only the best grilled cheese, but the best mac 'n' cheese. The 5lb block of American Cheese is, in my opinion, the best American Cheese out there.
It was because it was real cheese not that oily garbage like Velveeta makes, which is basically a knock off of cheese and the original Government Cheese.
I ate and enjoyed it in every conceivable form. Best American cheese ever
13:20 I actually saw a comment a while ago from a guy who said his father had been a German soldier in WWII.
He says his dad told him that the rank and file soldiers knew the war was over as soon as the US got involved because they just couldn't keep up with the sheer quantity of material the Americans were fielding. It didn't matter how well engineered the Tiger tank was, it couldn't stop the seemingly infinite stream of Sherman tanks coming from the American positions. He said at one time he and his dad were watching The Battle of the Bulge which came out in the 60's and at one point a German officer says, "how are we supposed to win a war day a nation with the resources to fly Boston creme pies across the ocean?" and that about summed it up.
Well from TFE’s video on Joseph Medicine Crow they learned that when they noticed that the US solely used fueled vehicles whereas Germany was still using horses in some units.
@@GreenSargent That wouldn't even have been such a big deal if it weren't on the *scale* that America was fielding fueled vehicles. It's one thing if it was a small military with all mechanized units, but when a top-level nation's ENTIRE military that outnumbers your own is solely mechanized.....yeah.
I was a kid in the eighties, the government cheese was good. My family didn't have a lot of money, sometimes a grilled cheese sandwich was all you got.
@@elainablake3030 Nothing beats a good grilled cheese tbh...
"Every time we destroyed an American tank, there was always another one behind it to take its place."
They said that cheese was delicious and it makes sense because it was AGED IN A STATIC ENVIRONMENT WITH LIMITED EXPOSURE RO HUMIDITY
I was one of those impoverished families in the 80's and remember the MRE-cardboard wrapped blocks of cheese in the weekly dairy crate. It was a touch dry and a hint of sharpness that made it not so good for cheese and crackers, but damn it was incredible on grilled cheese sandwiches and mixed well with a splash of milk for mac and cheese.
best cheese I ever had.
The story of the ice cream boats reminds me of that scene from Band of Brothers, where they're waiting on the airstrip and are finally told that they're about to jump into Normandy behind enemy lines (as D-day was about to begin). And Bill Guarnere says in response "so that's why they gave us ice cream".
When our facts labeled as conspiracy theories are brought to the light an angel gets his wings Nick has earned those wings I'd say
18:59 can you imagine the enemy over the radio saying we struck cheese son😂😂😂
My family is from Wisconsin. Yes, they became dairy farmers in the 50s. Now I know why.
Fun Fact: We had mobile bottling plants that were parked behind the front lines that would deliver freshly bottled Coca Cola to the troops every day they set up in duce and a half trucks
I love seeing people react to this one! Wanna know something funny? What became of the partnership between DMI and PizzaHut? You guessed it!! That letter was essentially the founding of STUFFED CRUST pizza! Keep up the good work!
I love watching you guys try to come up with a good, logical reason for a cheese bunker, when the real reason is, as usual, "the government is fucking dumb."
When you both went "GOVERNMENT CHEESE!" in sync 😂
It was like an old 80s cartoon, and they just found out who's behind the evil plot 😂😂
And I would have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for That Fat Electrician!
My FIL was a trucker for Haney and he said that SWIFT stood for "Sure Wish I'd Finished Training".
Also, TIL that Tillamook is a national brand. Ive been visiting their factory since i was a kid
And pretty good cheese it is
I've heard SWIFT as "Swing Wide It's a Fuckin Trailer"
In the Pacific theater, it was often the practice that if a destroyer or cruiser happened to pick up a downed aircraft carrier pilot, the aircraft carrier would trade them ice cream as a thank you for their safe return.
During an operation in the pacific, a very well-respected and liked pilot by the nickname of Killer Kane got shot down. The USS Enterprise, Killer Kane's home carrier, searched in vain but was unable to find him. Then, after a little while, a destroyer came up to them flashing its signal lamp. The message read "How much ice cream is Killer Kane worth?". The answer was 25 gallons.
Also, the recipe and ingredient list for World War II era Navy ice cream can still be found and you can make it yourself at home.
Also, MREs are GOATed as are their cheeses lol
The moment you guys mentioned the Got Milk campaign, I knew you'd love the rest of the video.
Sadly, no, DMI is not headquartered in Wisconsin. It's in Illinois lol
Figures DMI are a bunch of FIB's.
The logistical side of the US military in WWII was nothing short of insane from 1943 on. Even as the war was ramping up prior to 1941 the supply of food to naval ships was extensive and varied, providing some of the best food of any navy on the planet. The fact that US submarines from the Gato on were built with decent frozen and cold storage for meats and produce while almost no other submarines were gave both a strategic and moral boost to their crews.
We have enough production capacity that we can not only take care of the tanks and planes that need to be built, but have enough excess to make ice cream.
I grew up in the 70's and 80's so, I remember government cheese! 🤤😭 We can't get it now! I also remember that they sent a cheese cutter with the cheese that was just the right size for the block! 😅
That cheese was amazing.
There's a channel, war stories, I think, that reads diaries of people who fought in wars. One of the more interesting ones was a series from a German POW as he recorded everything from their capture by the Americans, being transported across the Atlantic, arriving in the USA, and their internment. He was constantly marveled by the availability and types of food they were given, how industrious the USA was, and how reasonably well treated they were.
8:11 of couse,left enlisted men alone is a one way to make magic happen 😂
Wisconsinite here...yes we know and now you know too much 😂
If you like Bleu cheese, you're already eating cheese with mold in it.
Yeah but it's a delicious type of mold lol.
Stuffed Crust Pizza was launched weeks or months after the date of that letter
That cheese is awesome I had it when I was a kid.
We made great meals with government cheese.
The ice cream was also a logistical flex because sugar was one of the things that got rationed and ice cream requires *a lot* of sugar.
When my parents moved to America with my sister and me, we had to rely on government assistance while they looked for jobs. We did receive government cheese for a while there.
Oddly enough penicillin is actually me from moldy cheese
That was THE best American cheese I’ve ever had, I wish I could still get my hands on it
Yes!!! We got the cheese once in the sixties and it was good basic cheese. We had grilled cheese sandwiches Mac and cheese and snacked on it. Sometimes I wish I could get it again. I have never understood why people complained about it. In my fridge right now are many kinds of premium cheeses that I enjoy but if I could buy the government cheese I would.
That's how "Rocky Road" ice-cream came about.....bombing runs!
And what he said about the Imperial measurement system is true because the US and the British Empire (1/4 of the world) used it during WWII. As for the cheese, in Texas is was the AMPI (American Milk Producers Industry).
I don't really like sweets either, and I'm also a savory type of guy, but when it comes to ice cream. . . Well, I'd fight to the death if someone tries to take ice cream away, saying I can never have ice cream again. I literally will eat myself sick on ice cream.
I had actually heard about the ice cream. My grandpa was in Germany in WWII. He didn't talk about much, but he did tell me about that. And yeah, I've tasted government cheese. I don't want that stuff within 5 miles of me.
My grandfather was a World War II veteran and you would never not find ice cream in his freezer
Same
I grew up on government cheese it was the best part of the food box
Unhinged Nick has all the great stories!
Check out the Eat Meat ads with The Reverand Horton Heat song. Somebody obviously didn't listen to the whole song!
"too many things are clikin'!!"
He DID say it would infect your thoughts.
I remember getting that government cheese, it made the best grilled cheese sandwiches
You guys are so young. Before food stamps, before debit cards for groceries issued by the government, there were 'commodities'. People in dire straits could go once a month or so to a site where these products were issued according to the size of the family. Peanut butter, flour, canned chicken, powdered eggs, and other things. Of those other things the most revered was gummint cheese. It was almost like a currency. Everybody wanted it. The fact is that all the commodities issued by the government were of the highest quality. After all, they weren't moneymakers (so not cheaply made) and they weren't even meant for plebeian consumption originally. So yeah, the peanut butter was dark and not loose and liquid like what you can buy. It took a minute to get used to, but once you were used to it, the stuff on the shelves tasted bad. The chicken made one hell of a chicken salad. And the cheese was as real as it gets in a time when po' folk were using velveeta because it was damn cheap before the advent of nacho mania. Anybody who ever tasted government cheese still misses that shit.
100percent! Best cheese ever.
This is one of my favorite videos. I also love the one about ice cream.
I saw that comment and was praying you'd actually do it lol two of my favorites of his videos
I think the Navy will have a lot more people enlisting
if they can get assigned to an ice cream barge
Brings a whole new meaning to "This ice cream is bomb"
I wish Nick would do a video of the USS Enterprise, the only carrier group not at Pearl Harbor when the Japanese attacked! Thank you for sharing and Quack, Bang, Suck! 😂
From what I remember none of the us carrier groups were at Pearl Harbor when the Japanese attacked.
@@raymurray3401 I was taught in school that the only carrier not at Pearl was the Enterprise. The Admiral disobeyed an order to return to the port! Remember, we only had 3 actual carriers and the rest were cruisers with flight decks layed down to make a "carrier"! 🫡
@@raymurray3401 I might be wrong, school don't teach the truth! 😂
@@paulvamos7319 Yes, school was wrong lol none of the carriers were at Pearl during the attack. The Enterprise was SUPPOSED to have returned the day before the attack, but a storm delayed her return by one day. Some of her air group were sent ahead and attacked by Zeros escorting the first wave. A couple of them were shot down.
@@randomlyentertaining8287 Thank you for sharing this information, I was told that the USS Lexington was there along with another one that I can't remember the name of! I'm still learning and I will forget this by tomorrow 😅 have a great weekend!
Now I'm getting irritated thinking about why I have to pay $3.50 to $5.00 for a gallon of milk?
Smile! You’re getting it cheaper than I am! It’s $6.00+ in Miami Beach unless you’re getting the watered down generic crap which is still &4.00+.
@Angel268201 That's crazy. We definitely shouldn't be paying so much if our country has an overabundance of milk. Then again, it's not about supply and demand anymore. It's all about those who have and those who have not. Those who have want more and want to make sure those who have not will never have.
"The road to El Dorado" is legendary
First one i ever watched that got me hooked was "The E4 Mafia" on his old Tik Tok platform. They were only couple minutes long. His original ones make the newer ones make more sense with references.
My dad served in the navy during WWII, he told me about a ship that did nothing but make ice cream, so I googled the Ice Cream Ship, it's true!
Hey Rockingham county, I'm up the road in Gaston, love NASCAR.
They should have dehydrated the milk into baby formula// indestructible powdered milk... It wouldn't get moldy and it doesn't need refrigeration. It also takes up less space..
The realization of "Government cheese" really meant government cheese had me tolling😂
I grew up eating that cheese!😂
My great aunt was retired and received government benefits, but she didn’t eat cheese; so she would give it to my mom. Very grateful for that cheese!
Love the video guys. Keep kicking ass. Love TFL, never actually seen him request a video so thats legit as hell.
Really like you style and TFE reacts. Subbed
I’m 22 and I remember seeing got milk posters all though out elementary school and even for a bit in middle school
Government cheese was the best cheese , and free ,no wonder it was so good,it was aged ,also wheels of cheese mold , but if its stored right its ok ,in fact irs really really good 💯🥰
I remember the Got Milk Campaign when I was in school too and I was born in 93.
Both of my grandfathers were in WWII… they were both obsessed with ice cream. My one grandfather was a fiend for butter pecan so much that the Schwann’s guy would just roll up with three half gallons… a week! 😂
"Do I even like cheese? Who am I?" Lol
They did the same with peanut butter. I loved the white bucket that you opened and stird th get the oil mixed in
Hell, a fellow north Carolinian. 👋 from Catawba County.
So that Cheese was some of the Best Cheese EVER!!! the rind is where the "mold" is this gets cut off and your left with the edible cheese for all. Sadly this stopped after Reagan.
I bet those pilots had some bomb ice cream.
Why isn’t there “Bombing Run” brand ice cream
Only sweets I really care about is icecream. The rest I don’t really go out of my way to buy.
Cheezus Crust... If the cheese mines were blown up, there would be so much de brie...
I do love cheese of every type I have ever tried. Also as a child we had milk with every meal. I don't drink much milk anymore but I love a good glass of milk with pizza.
Suggestion. Berlin airlift, followed by the Berlin wall.
If Nick could produce 12 hours of videos, with the intensity and commitment he usually puts into his videos, per day, he couldn't produce it fast enough for me.
I've often seen memes about "Come to the Dark Side, we have cookies"
While I am very much a fan of cookies (not so much oatmeal raisin for some reason)
"Come to the Red, White and Blue side we got f-ing ice cream" wins. If I have to choose between cookies and ice cream, the ice cream wins. Except in one very specific circumstance. "It's f-ing freezing, and you offer me ice cream, or freshly baked still hot from the oven cookies. That hot, fresh baked cookie is going to win. 1. it's still delicious, 2. it's at least 100F warmer than the ice cream and I feel my skin is about to turn into ice."
I've been, at one point in my life, a recipient of "tribal commodities" I am a member of a tribe, my family's financial situation wasn't great, and always on that list of tribal commodities were 5 pound blocks of cheese" It's actually damned good cheese. People would offer to pay $10, $20 up to $40 per block for that 5 pounds of cheese. If you didn't _need_ it, but were _technically_ entitled to it, they'd rather buy it from you. If you're not going to _use_ it, why not _sell_ it to me? kind of thing. I'm pretty sure this cheese was from this program. I think one block that I'm aware of was traded from my family for a rather meaningful amount of labor help doing repairs on a roof, but we didn't give it or sell it. Those were hard times, we climbed up economically until we were no longer eligible. In my humble opinion, it was better than any cheese I have bought in the last 20 years. Presuming this was the "government cheese" they had hired someone along the way, who knew what the heck they were doing with cheesemaking.
*STRICTLY SPEAKING* Nick didn't call it a conspiracy _theory_ . He called it a conspiracy. A conspiracy theory, is simply a theory of a conspiracy, whether true or imagined. Conspiracies are real, they happen. Just because there is a conspiracy, doesn't mean it's a discountable "conspiracy theory"
If Frank and George meet with Alex, Alex has the security code and keys to a mansion, because Alex works at that mansion. There are millions of dollars of easily liquidated and 'untraceable' valuables in that mansion. If Frank and George decide to rob the mansion after Alex agrees to provide the code to the alarm and a key to the door, that's a conspiracy. It's not a conspiracy theory, unless it's never acted upon, or it's acted upon and no one can actually prove it. Other conspiracy theories in this instance could be "John (Gardener) had access, he was behind it." "Amelia (stepdaughter) had access, she worked with her friends to pull the heist." or "Uncle Michael had all the access needed, he hired a couple thugs to enrich himself and his cronies." Never you mind that Frank and George worked with Alex to pull this heist off. Nobody proved it. It's just a theory like all the others.
Admit it. Dairy is a phenomenal food group.
No, the government isn't responsible to stop a business from failing.
America is freedom. The freedom to buy, the freedom to sell, the freedom to try, and the freedom to fail.
Nick is so rad, can’t get enough fat electrician
28:31 I hope you know my middle school removed a poster like that just last year lol
I recommend watching Operation Paul Bunyan , by Fat electrician!! U will get a good kick out of it
Come back next Friday!
the metric vs fractions thing is always fun. someone on twitter posted about fractions landed on the moon, and the official nasa twitter account replied "we use the metric system"
also: SWIFT: so what, im f---ing trying. (i was a mechanic for crete carrier trucking for several years)
I can't tell you how upset I am to hear about the whole cheese scheme. Billions upon billions of dollars spent in this country combating obesity and it's related diseases, we it all goes back to the government push for us to eat more cheese? It makes sense when you look at the rise of obesity and it's related issues, high blood pressure, diabetes, cholesterol problems, etc. And now it props up the medical/pharmaceutical industries who have take control of commercial farming. Bayer Aspirin bought Monsanto Chemical Company a few years ago. It's all so blatantly obvious and no one is saying anything. There is no money in curing people, but there's tons of money in selling treatments/drugs to sick people. I'm so disgusted with my government.
Cheese molds you cut the mold off the top then package it the longer you let it mold the sharper it gets aka sharp cheddar
I loved sitting hear watching you two at the beginning of the cheese video as you were both trying to come up with reasonable and logical explanation of why the US has cheese bunkers. You were actually trying to apply reason to an activity of the US government! Now I wait with baited breath for you to hear the real reason.
My parents had a bunch if government cheese in their freezer when I was a little kid. That stuff was just plain nasty, I ate that stuff for years and absolutely hated it. It tasted like crap it gave me diarrhea then constipation then back to diarrhea back to constipation I was so happy we finally used it up. Worse cheese ever, don't think my body was ever the same for years. Lol
I had my fill of government cheese in the 80's. I'm good. I never drank milk as a kid. My second grade teacher, in the 70s, decided I was going to make me drink the milk the school MADE me take with my tray; even if she had to pour it into me. She wore the chocolate milk the rest of the day. I hate cow juice.
26:45 lol you: i bet the govt "got milk" came from this.
Me (having hear this before): you're udderly right!! 😅
Love the Cheese caves video. first time i watched it i went immediately to buy some cheese lol
Also while i love the Fat Electrician vids, i gotta say this: The man that put America on the moon used metric system. The metric system won the space race, thus its superior and im gonna die on this hill. Anyways great reaction, keep going with the Fat electrician reactions!
TFE has a video about the metric system and America's first to the moon. It's funny.
you should see what happened with the sugar industry 50+ years ago, that's more the reason for obesity and diabetes than the dairy industry
I'm 53 that cheese 🧀 was pretty good.
Great on 🍕
Back in the 1980s USAF, MRE = Meals Refused by Ethiopians.
Milk is an organic fertilizer with anti fungal properties, so it would take a lot of milk to kill grass.
So why Germans were starving in WW2 Merica (capital m for the only hyper-power Nation in the world) we pulled up with ice cream ships... Please tell me that was a Bill Donavon pys opp.
Yes cookie dough ice cream is the best. I’m literally eating some as I watch this and then you all talk about it. This is awesome😂😂😂
BIG MILK IS NEVER WRONG. BUY MORE CHEESE.
I've never been more thankful to be allergic to cheese lol
I love my state, hi from Wisconsin
Gov cheese made the absolutely the finest grilled cheese sandwiches ever!
Best place to put American cheese since firing it into the Sun is impractical.
Could you explain why volcanoes are "2nd best"?
If no one recommended already the Unsubscribed Podcast, you should check it out. It's that in the sheit, brotherhood comedy, that you can truly appreciate as a vet.
It made great grilled cheese sandwiches!
So America, we dropped the A. Twice.
