Steve: Finally some good fucking food.

It's not like the chocolate in there is "special mre chocolate" Germans are just good at making chocolate, and people like Steve1989 notice cause they focus on the flavor. Many people would eat that chocolate bar and not appreciate the complex flavor.

It sounds like SCHO-KA-KOLA which is caffeinated chocolate with kola nut. It comes in a round tin can and used to be pretty popular in Germany when I was a kid. I wasn't allowed to eat it because of the caffeine, though.
they still sell it.

The level of preservation is absolutely incredible. The fact that the meat bar was edible, if barely, is absolutely crazy. Oddly enough, I quite fancy trying the meat bar, since you didn't grumble about it being rancid lol.

I was watching this really drunk yesterday and that chocolate looked absolutely amazing so i spent literally all night scouring the internet to find one of these rations, to no avail. then i had a dream that i went to an army surplus store that had hundreds of these fresh, still in the crates. life is suffering.
Michael I dont know if it really is that exact choclate, but the closest thing probably is "Scho-Ka-Kola". Choclate with about 50& cocoa, a bit of fruit and coffee.
Freizeit Idiot It is the same company that made these chocolates in German WW2 rations. Not sure about west German rations though.

"I think it's still edible!"
coolevi123 its called caring about your health and well being.
Peak of the Cold war and at the front....... These guys had a serious concern,you can see by how well preserved this is how well fought out the packaging was for its time especially. This is probably one of the most fascinating rations I've seen technology wise.
It was really meant to be very long term and bad environment freindly
Its meant to be carried around all day, unpacked and repacked all the time. Only to be used if you lose contact with the field kitchen. Thats why its so overbuilt compared to modern mres that are usually consumed shortly after being issued. I really like its design, very slick and hard packaging so that it can be jammed down in your pack without much care.
Me and my son watch you and can't stop watching! You are so good at describing your experience which is how we are so we understand why you get so excited to find something as incredible as that chocolate! Keep doing your videos man you def bring ppl joy

You can still buy the chocolate. It's called Scho - Ka - Kola and comes in a round tin. Red for dark chocolate, blue for milk chocolate. Look it up, they've got an internet page.
Greetings from Germany
Michael Staadt korrekt danke ^^^
NICE
It seems to be a different one, stop at about 2:07 it says its a sarotti chocolate. The brand still exists afaik but I am not sure if you can get that exact sort of chocolate. the scho-ka-kola is presented in a different video though in their typical round tin
Michael Staadt he has made a video about that chocolate.
sarotti does make sho-ka-kola. it used to be owned by a different company but around the late 60s it transfered ownership to sarotti. so, its no longer the same company that made the choholate for the wehrmacht
Him: I'm going to eat nearly 60 year old meat and chocolate.

Anything that is german crafted is interesting.

But if it involves a transmission it’s utter trash

Including the wars?
Respect for translating everything which you did great (being German helps reading it and you translated everything very accurate, thinking of the Part where you have to translate every single language for every Ration I am more than impressed)

4:47 nice transition there. Made it see like you were saying they made survival situations pretty nice
Looking into it a bit, there might be something similar to that chocolate bar that's still in active production. Scho-Ka-Kola was apparently used as in iron ration by the Germans in WWII, and is 16 pieces of dark chocolate in a round metal tin. I bought a couple boxes of it a while ago because a bunch of my coworkers love the stuff.
Steve is a god among men

Ganondorf or suicidal
Yeah he's pretty jacked.

Also I hear he can play a mean guitar
Apparently there are still a few places that make Chocolate Cola Bars but only the people that have eaten these rations would ever be able to compare the taste. I'd love to see you do something like that Steve. Were you try to find modern or current day equivalents in taste to some of the more delicious things you've enjoyed in these aged rations. Maybe a video of you eating the modern version and commenting on how you feel its similar or different to a ration item.
Urek Mazino aged fig bars are one of the best things
Scho-Ka-Kola is still sold commercially, and has been since 1936. I still remember surviving on that and the MRE peanut butter they gave us in the FDF. I assume this is the same stuff in the video since it's been in German military use for ages, but that the form is different for the survival ration (normally they come in round 'disks', and are separated into wedges).
The caffeinated chocolate is really addictive. Not sure you can get them in North America, but worst case scenario you can just ship them over.
Tripticket you should message steve with what you know, so he can get more!
Correct, the Finnish Defense Forces. Note that I have never stumbled upon the product included in Finnish MREs, but it was an extremely popular product to carry with you since it's sold commercially in Finland.
I just looked it up and you can get the product from Amazon US, but the tins are about three times as expensive as in Europe (original price ~3€). I suppose if you're desperate for a taste it might be worth it.
I can get Scho-Ka-Kola in Montréal, QC in Canada. It's one of my favourite chocolates.
I love how happy and excited he gets when he eats the food :3
I've been wondering. How long does it take for time to catch up with the MRE's once opened? Your videos are great dude. You talking about 56 year old survival rations like its vintage wine is priceless. It's always great to watch someone that's passionate about what they do.✌️
