Experiencing the Deliciousness of a US Chicken Chunk MRE

[@deepfrieddeals]

This show is like Saturday morning cartoons for adults.

[@Butterworthdasyrup]

I hope your kids let you watch! lol

[@niftynetty0129]

I know right?

[@CorvusTX]

As someone who was never in the military, these videos have been very interesting. More importantly, thank you for your service!

[@Butterworthdasyrup]

Glad you like them!

[@DenH-e7b]

Honestly man I just wanted to say thank you for making military content I can enjoy that isn't shoving guns in my face. I appreciate it alot though seriously thank you and keep doing what you're doing.

[@Butterworthdasyrup]

My pleasure!

[@DenH-e7b]

@@Butterworthdasyrup Thanks brother, keep up the work keeping us safe.

[@TylerAutryUSA]

LOL, when you dropped the taco was hysterical. I think we're gonna need to see a "field trip" version soon where you eat something in the field, in nature, near a campfire if possible. Love the videos, keep'em coming.

[@Butterworthdasyrup]

Thats a fantastic idea

[@scottwilson6771]

I loved how you kept going between saying “tortiLLa” and “torteeYa” 😂

Very Napoleon Dynamite… ❤

[@donaldparlett7708]

I’m a product of the Army from the 80s. We still were killing MCIs and then the early MREs. The MCIs we would throw onto a hot engine and warm the can up , but were stymied with MREs we needed hot water to soak the bag. I was a fiend for LRRP rations as we needed just enough hot water to do the ration.

[@bingadingding]

How about hosting a dinner party and serving MRE’s. Everyone has the full bag on their plate so meal prep is done together. Mmmm mmmm AMERICA!

[@Butterworthdasyrup]

Great idea!

[@clalouba2639]

Shout-out to Jean Claude!!

[@BassReeves24]

Sweet Baby Rays!

[@Old_Ranch_Hand]

These videos are great! I can't believe MREs have changed so much in the last 40 years that someone would actually say that they didn't regret taking a big bite and that it tastes good! I find that hard to believe! Now I have to go pick up a couple of these and compare them to the ones I ate back in the 80s. Keep the great videos coming.

[@Butterworthdasyrup]

Yea they have def come a long way! Thank you for your service!!

[@evilcritter]

There is an outdoor shop around the corner from me and your vids are making me want to go stare at their camp food section for a while, to see if they have anything comparable.

[@alchemicalsoul]

I like the calmer, less cut videos. Had the ASMR value, less choppy. That's your claim to fame.

[@sarahplainmom7500]

Back in ye olden day, dad would load us kids up & head to the military surplus store on Saturday morning to give mom a break- it would kill a couple hours. We’d each get to pick an MRE to take home for lunch. It was good times.

[@anthonylorton2421]

Thank you for your content. Very well done

[@dillydanny-o8807]

Not sure if it’s a new editing style or just made to be a quick video but the all the edit jump cuts in succession were really messing with my eyes/brain versus the usual real-time/fewer cuts of previous MRE videos. Regardless-always love your content! That’s a rare MRE without any kind of dessert or coffee!

[@magdalena_emilia]

Agree, made me uncomfortable too. It's the way it was edited I guess, could be smoother.

[@NotHere4ThisShip]

I love these shows, I love the longer versions. I like your story time in between. You haven't tried any of the coffees yet! Lol.

[@Butterworthdasyrup]

Longer one coming next week, Australia!

[@Butterworthdasyrup]

Appreciate that and I won’t!

[@catm71]

We lived in Yuma, on the Proving Ground where I worked, for a decade so my son pretty much grew up around Amry families. One day he comes home with five MREs. I said to him “Boy, what do you plan on doing with these?” Confidently he looked at me and said “Capt. (insert person) gave em to us. He said to eat them in order or we’d never poop again.” I just looked at my wonderful little boy and told him to have at it. He dug in… and I found the other four burying in the back of his closet three months later. I just hadda share… thank you for these! They’re PERFECT!

[@Old_Ranch_Hand]

Thank you for your service! You are doing great things for the military today!

[@mudstonio]

Can’t wait to see even more of these videos.

[@rickyjones7013]

I absolutely love your videos lol, and I have some very found memories of having MRE's....my dad used to get me 3 cases a year for when I'd be out and about running through the woods and just having a great time. Now if I had to pick a favorite MRE it's got to be the Sloppy Joe MRE with the coffee instant type 2 the chocolate protein shake the shelf stable bread and if I remember correctly it had M&M's or something similar, and yes the little bottle of Tabasco sauce was still in it, I used to take the sugar pack that came with it and ad it to the Sloppy Joe main absolutely amazing.

[@alaintrudel193]

The fact that you eat all these MRE’s cold is pretty hardcore. I used to make sure I always warned them up any way possible. If it would just be used the engine heat from our section APC or my body heat. But room temperature cold. I had to be REALLY hungry. Maybe after a full night patrol. Canadian MRE in 1989-1992 where not really good. Especially the mac and cheese with green peas. Cold, the peas where still hard ( by not being rehydrated)

[@Butterworthdasyrup]

Yea eating them cold def builds character. Just gotten used to not heating them up at this point

[@Ryunoku]

I went through BCT in OCT last year. I personally liked the chicken chunk the most but I rarely got it. Those teriyaki sticks though were the bane of my existence, I never liked them, if I remember right there's another beef stick but I cant remember the flavor. The cheese tortellini one is easily the worst if you don't heat it up and it has one of those tabasco bottles that often burst in the accessory pack thing

[@Butterworthdasyrup]

OOOOOOO spicy TP

[@shannab.squeaker2542]

You are a natural treasure!!...just feel good content. As a dental professional, every time you use your teeth to open a package, I cringe...lol..might I suggest a Swiss army knife instead. 😁

[@lonebandicoot]

Chicken chucks was always one of the better ones to get in basic when you didn’t have time to heat them up, this one went down cold the easiest.

[@Butterworthdasyrup]

Yup I agree

[@alisharicketts89]

6:06 are you talking about sweet baby ray’s bbq sauce

[@OKWqc]

Good stuff!

[@melosteff2047]

Literally the best mre

[@k.r.3598]

I think that you might be referring to Sweet Baby Ray's Honey BBQ Sauce.

[@AintPopular]

That chicken looks RAW

[@Clareypie]

I've followed you since you started on the 'Tok and love your vids! My dad was in the British Artillery in the 60's and he had corned beef (different from the US version) from World War 2 in his packs, he said it tasted fine, I'm not convinced...

I always find gems late but I imagine you were referring to sweet baby rays just because it can be found in damn near every store including some gas stations

[@sunny-sq6ci]

its interesting how countries try to answer the question of providing nutrition to their military. many seem to use off the shelf/ consumer products. the US military is clearly employing science/ scientific process, but doing so, tends to overlook the importance of taste and visual/psychological appeal.

11b here First mistake is not opening ot with a large battle knife, 2nd take the brown outer bag and when done stuff all trash in and the roll the upper lips inward to seal close it. That's the true way to finish it off. And OGs know the tuna is the best ... if you like fish

Dietary issues and allergies are usually questions that are asked early on in the recruiting process. Sometimes there can be exceptions.
