    The metallic taste is coming from one of two things:

    2. The cooking agent, which is iron based and rusts to produce heat when water is added.

    @loganligma7170 Před 5 lety +1695

    To answer why they don't just use Chef Boyaredee; it's because the food in MREs is designed to have a shit ton of calories. A standard MRE has around 2000 calories. They're easy to eat and they will keep you going for a while. Just be careful about how much you eat. You will literally shit a brick.

  • @c4yourself319
    @c4yourself319 Před 5 lety +1160

    Okay a couple GOLDEN things you missed.
    1: On the Heater Sleeve (green bag), on the instructions its says "Lean on a rock or something".... literally.
    2: That thing didn't heat up right because they release a very nice toxic cloud of steam and get VERY hot (actually boiling the water). The water has to touch all of the white chemical packet for this to work and needs to lean at a much lower angle. And yes, that is too much water.
    3: Anyone who eats these often will tell you that these are NOWHERE CLOSE to the worst ones. Just stay away from Asian Style Beef Strips and Pork Sausage in Creamy Gravy.
    4: Marines very commonly get the Army's left-overs, unused, or hand-me-downs. This ranges anywhere from gear to MREs. I have COUNTLESS times opened a pack of Skittles only to find a white and brown solid bar that had expired 8 or 9 years ago. And yes, I eat it anyway.
    Edit:
    5: The sweet/metallic tastes comes from loads of preservatives. If you read the ingredients on any of them you will find out that most of that stuff sounds like it should be used in horse tranquilizers or something.
    Love the video! keep it up!

    Rhett you have no idea. After about a month you start to think the dirt is better. After you months you eat it. After three months you go "ya know maybe I'll try photosynthesis" but some MREs were better than chow. Defact food can sometimes be... Oh God.... I can't even describe the horror of certain foods from the defact, the egg rolls were bomb tho

    As someone who recently got out of the Marine Corps, you learn to love certain MRE’s. I’m low key sad they didn’t try Chilli Mac. Also want to add that the chicken noodle soup is actually pretty good. Nobody likes anything vegetarian. Not even vegetarians. If the Au Gratin potatoes are boiling hot, they’re ok. Didn’t try any pound cake, or the coffee, caffeine mints or anything. Lacking the full experience. Best thing ever is a lemon poppy seed pound cake with peanut butter and a cigarette as a candle on your birthday. Change my mind.

      xTYx728 Chili mac was always a favorite of mine. I also liked the ravioli, meatballs and tomato sauce, and the maple sausage breakfast. Sure, that muffin sucked, but the sausage tasted great! But, you have to heat them to make them "good".
      Of course, I have never had a cold MRE that was even remotely tasty. The tuna is what it is, but I wouldn't call that good either, and I am a big fan and frequent maker of civilian tuna salad. I was always a big fan of the protein bars, gum, and candy moreso than most of the entrees.

      You ever get the lemon pepper tuna? I got that one a week ago and it was probably the worst thing I’ve ever eaten before. I’m active duty National Guard btw

    I was having a look through Reddit threads today searching for more CZcams channels to binge, as I only have a couple I regularly watch. Most of the threads were about a year old and often carried the same suggestions. But I was so happy to finally find several new channels to watch, I had 10 new tabs open, subscribing for what seemed endlessly. Lessons from Screenplay, GCPgrey, to KaptainKristian. It had some of the most quality content I had ever seen, beyond even television production.
    But then I realized. Almost all of these channels hadn't uploaded in a _YEAR._ What had happened to all this great content?! And why did it seem like Rooster Teeth, GMM, and Primitive Technology were the only ones pumping out quality consistent content? Or pumping out any content whatsoever?! I never found an answer to this but it did make me realize.
    You guys are one of the most legendary channels on CZcams and I would even consider a pioneer in a decades time, seriously. People might not realize it, but your daily quality content not only throws wind to the saying "quality over quantity", but combines them as a motto of "why not both?". Cheers to one of the best channels, to 3 am, when I wrote this, and to anyone who will actually read this.

      Melomania that’s why they stopped doing the four episodes a day

      I liked the four episodes because not only is that crazy to do but the first episodes still kept their charm. I think people weren't fond of how spammy it seemed and also the lack of focus the other 3 videos had. So they were rightfully upset.

      Melomania honestly for me, and others it kind of felt less quality and more quantity. But i still watched when they did the four.
