      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.

      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.

      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).

      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.
