FIRST STRIKE RATION Menu 6 | FSR Military Ration Taste Test

[@kimicat4102]

Deciphering Emmy's 'Hmmm' 1. Hm! ( high pitched) = deliciousss! 2. Hmmmmm emm = dang that's good! 3. Emmm emm = omg that's bad.Nope!

[@allistrata]

Do you know what I like about you? You're a healthy eater, but you're not a snob. You don't act like it's beneath you to enjoy the simple pleasures of something like kool aid and admit it tastes good. Also, I live for the last few seconds of every video. You're so silly.

[@mywhynots]

Totally agree! I like how she laughed when saying the texture of the turnover was similar to foods with a lot of preservatives, because it showed that she is food conscious but she doesn't react like "Oh this is so gross, I can feel the preservatives! I can't even eat it!" She's more relatable and respectful than a lot of people who do food-tasting videos.

[@Dojan5]

I concur. Heck she even eats bugs when most people turn their noses up to that for some reason.

[@allistrata]

Dojan5 I know, right? She's kind of a badass.

[@brienamarie]

gorilla glue i also love that she never disrespects another cultures food. even if she doesnt like it. she doesnt go "oh god thats the worst thing ive ever tasted" shes so respectful about it! its wonderful

[@mmh304]

very well said..love love emmy!

[@StephiStaticxoxo]

You should try eating a 24 hour ration over the whole day and find out if it actually keeps you full and is enough to keep you from going hungry , it would be interesting to find out if it's enough !

[@Missypop16]

Steeph Alice please do this emmy!

[@_Miyano]

Steeph Alice that's a good idea! 😉

[@cutiepatootie99]

Steeph Alice I second this!!

[@ShayCWin]

Great idea

[@lovetrueheart8]

YESSS

[@rockyraab8290]

Just to more fully explain this ration, it is intended for troops in the very first day or two of combat - when you spend most of your time getting shot at. So the foods are very much "grab and gobble" rather than dine (if dining EVER happens in the Army, lol!). It's heavy on energy-packed stuff and caffeine, not so much on nutrition. That can come later, when there's a lull in the fighting.

[@stephw6046]

Rocky Raab makes perfect sense. Thank you for clarifying! ☺️

[@VintageVegans]

Thank you. Knowing more really helps understand the design of these meals.

[@antidotexx8848]

You are the best youtuber who has the best hate free comment section. This ration pack looked digusting tbh, you're brave to go through with it though. Kudos!

[@JC-de8zk]

NakosxX I hate you I'm kidding BTW :P

[@dennisweston5946]

AntidotexX ni

[@cocobobo2119]

I love that her comment section is hate free it's so nice

[@emmymade]

Me too. My Lovelies are the best. 😍

[@cocobobo2119]

emmymadeinjapan can't argue with facts 😺

[@missmex7876]

Coco Bobo I'm never nervous going into the comments section here. It's always nice. ☺

[@Glitter_bit]

Fastbreak 383 what’s your problem?

[@PuffinPsychologist]

Som3body I love Emmy but with this post on the internet it almost seems like he’s asking for it lol

[@middleC17]

Your mentioning that the turkey jerky reminded you of dog treats made me think of this. When NASA was in the process of developing food for multi-day spaceflights, they contacted a dog food manufacturer who suggested a sort of human kibble. This did not go over well. Other ideas included whole-nutrition shakes that the test subjects hated so much they poured them into the floorboards of the simulated rockets, and pureed foods in tubes. One of the first concepts were small cubed sandwiches, but the crumbs from the bread would break off and float into the instrument panel or into someone's eye, so they coated the sandwich in edible wax which had the unpleasant side effect of coating the mouth (astronauts now only use tortillas). I highly suggest checking out the book Packing for Mars: The Curious Science of Life in the Void by Mary Roach. One of my all-time favorite authors, and Emmy I think you would really enjoy her writing. She is really hilarious and the work that goes into her books is astounding. Thanks!

[@adammetzger4182]

I remember reading somewhere that gus grissom got in trouble for smuggling a sandwich on board a space flight when one of their objectives were to test the food they had on board.

[@VintageVegans]

How fascinating!!! Ty!

[@amyu.9722]

Somebody send this girl some jalapeño cheese spread! 😂

[@thegoddessamongyou4103]

Amy U. Send me some too!!!!! It sounds delicious.

[@TylerWashington]

I think she has tried it before in one of her videos

[@Emlane09]

aw, that'll be cute

[@zangyzen3164]

Tyler Marie™ correct

[@deepbludude4697]

That's a horded commodity

[@jessicadayla]

That gum is about a cup of coffee, but it hits you in ~15 minutes because it crosses the mucus membrane of your mouth, and is actually stronger than coffee because it is not first processed by the liver. Essentially, caffeinated gum was developed for military for the purpose of rapidly getting the caffeine at a higher dose with a different serum level curve.

[@Little_Bird_Chihuahuas]

JDDBeyondTheSky very interesting...thank you!

[@vasilias7987]

JDDBeyondTheSky do you work at military or something like that? pretty interesting you know the fact :o i know some medicine "kicks" in faster by putting em under the tongue, but i didnt know caffeine works like that too

[@jessicadayla]

combination of National Geographic and having spoken with an officer coming through where I worked at the time in uniform. I was curious if our military had adopted it and asked a bit, surprisingly he was able to share more info than I would have thought "Its currently being looked into, but hasn't been put into use yet" As for the pharmacological aspects, biology background, formal psych education, well studied in psychopharmacology (which is really just pharmacology focused on neuro stuff). I like knowing everything about every substance that goes into my body, and as a transhumanist, that knowledge allows me to augment myself in ways I desire (knowing when to take what psych meds to maximize their usefulness, counting things like caffeine here too). The transhumanism thing extends beyond the use of altering state of mind for the situation, but also extends to why I have glasses despite having "normal vision" (it gets rid of the astigmatism and increases my distance vision at the cost of making my near vision slightly worse, the near vision is still good enough that I can wear them all the time if I want, its a slight tweak that makes life... more to my liking). I'm caught, when the opportunity is available, I want to replace my vision with cybernetics that allows everything I want from my vision, but I would not want to give up my natural eye colour for that. I also look forward to RFID chipping myself to make my life easier, and to be able to afford a neural headset to play with. There's a ton of other things I'd like to do, but on the realist side of transhumanism, its use of psychoactives (legally), future chipping myself to make my own devices and locks more secure as well as being able to control a lot more with the wave of my hand, and one of the already existing higher quality neural headsets because I can use it for so many different things that it pains me to think about what I could do with one (biofeedback being one of the biggest things).

[@vasilias7987]

JDDBeyondTheSky didnt expect to have a pretty long answer but that sounds pretty cool, once i want to be pharmacist (im not quite sure if they learn something like this) because i love to know how such little thing affect your body but then... well im computer engineer now so lol

[@jessicadayla]

They get much deeper into the chemistry than I care for, I just need to be able to read the numbers, graphs, what they mean, etc. The chemistry is cool and all, but its the higher level applications of it I find interesting, like how adding small amounts of lithium to city water would probably improve sociability and reduce suicidality a small bit. The lithium thing, the number needed to treat may be quite high, but the number receiving it would be massive, and the number needed to harm is pretty damn high if you are using the levels that would make sense for such an application.

[@DJThree8s]

you're a brave woman for eating those "nuggets"

[@taetm8868]

ShawnMcCray lol wat

[@martharhodes6523]

ShawnMcCray they're. It bad they're actually amazing when that's all you got to eat those things are amazing

[@corneliussnow8215]

ShawnMcCray Is it weird that those nuggets legitimately look kind of appetizing to me? I would actually like to really try it

[@Itsme-sy9hq]

I'd eat them

[@taheelur1]

They smell like dog food, but they’re actually really good

[@KCisScreaming]

Emmy is literally the cutest thing. like i know shes older than 18-20 but i refuse to believe it

[@christyasmr4095]

I like how she is so positive about everything, and she's flat out honest.

[@samihamiah1598]

I literally stopped doing whatever I was doing just to watch this, these type of vids are my faaav💘

[@emmymade]

🤗🤗🤗

[@Andrew-ln1bv]

emmymadeinjapan hi I love these types of videos

[@star_etraWrites]

LOL! Best part of the video...."Seal this up tightly..." spills the drink everywhere. LOVE it and you Emmy.

[@jaimejacob7602]

who else loves these mre taste tests!!

[@priscillaazasu2057]

Jaime Jacob I love it!😍 I wish i could also taste it.

[@abbyvelasco5083]

Jaime Jacob one of the best segments from her imo

[@charlieheinz4617]

I do!

[@Peachie4011]

me three!

[@hastidesai9006]

meeeee and guess what! I'm only 14 from India!

[@ashuhlea]

This is so amazing. These videos are so epic and your voice Emmy, you help me out with my anxiety. Honest to god, so thankful I found your channel!

[@shadowbanned761]

"I am wilting like a daisy" I love your charming innocence, you are my all time favorite you tuber.

[@lauriewaldhauser3503]

You have one of the loveliest and softest voices I have ever heard and I feel totally de stressed watching your videos 🥰

[@ConstantCompanion]

Emmy is very gracious when she taste tests, so if she says she doesn't like something? It's probably inedible.

[@ShayCWin]

ConstantCompanion who is Amy?

[@ConstantCompanion]

ShayCWin Oh rats. Spellchecker. Emmy.

[@luisaschmidt6806]

I really like your respectful way of tasting things, even though you don't like some of them. :-) I love your videos! :-)

[@CooperGal24]

The Turkey Jerky looked like Chicken Nuggets gone wrong! XD Also, you can just laugh over spilt milk!

[@ruuutbear]

I like how your reviews are more straightforward then most, no waffle.

[@MirOmran]

This is the most pure and precious channel that has a very nice comment section, also love the MRE videos, they are always a good surprise! :D

[@misskay2586]

I absolutely love how down to earth Emmy is. The simple fact that she is willing to put errors out there is phenomenal. That boing yoing sound had me about to die though🤣. Keep up the wonderful work Emmy!

[@Erudisia]

Why do I never get sick of watching you eat MRE's? They're so interesting!

[@katiepodolski882]

Emmy you're the sweetest person on the internet. I really enjoy watching you 😀 Your channel is like the happy place on youtube 😍

[@Oldsmokey1]

Hey Emmy. This is on my to do list real soon. For the fsr the name is very literal. The rations are mean to be used for a few days during the initial "first strike". Oh and I actually enjoyed the turkey nuggets/dog treats haha. That's why it's cool to see multiple people try the same things.

[@Darkshinebaby91]

I thought Emmy was wearing a really cool asymmetrical shirt. But it's just 2 tank tops and the mic makes them look asymmetrical. 😅

[@artsygirl14]

Yaisha Diaz I assumed it was an apron over the tank top lol

[@passionatelilie]

I love how Emmy says something is not good but still take another bite or sip lol love the expressions lol

[@narutofan459]

Whistling was never my forte, but these videos sure do brighten my day!

[@lizzyg1758]

Hi Em, my little island is currently experiencing a storm! ...... but am sitting here and watching your always-awesome videos that makes me feel warm inside, even though am scared.... pray for us... 🇹🇹

[@annie6515]

Silly dindi sending prayers to you 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️

[@TheQ2-4-1]

Silly dindi sending good vibes

[@ff82800]

Silly dindi, Sending my prayers to TnT, hope everything will be better soon

Silly dindi stay safe!!

[@AnimeLoverKyoSan]

❤️

[@raehiggins5587]

I love how positive you are

[@emmymade]

Thanks!

[@Peachie4011]

I love these videos. It's so intresting seeing all the different Military meals from different countries, as well as our different USA rations. Love you Emmy, you have such a sweet demeanor, and you are so upbeat. It makes me happy to watch all your videos. Cheers!

[@andrewvanstaden8922]

Loving your reviews I have a couple here from South Africa that I bought for a 4x4 excursion. Now I'm hooked on watching your reviews.

[@fmhfentxo28]

Emmy you are so delightful. I've been a fan of your channels for over 2 years now and you never fail to impress me with your intellect and thoughtfulness. You always put a smile on my face :)

[@StarMonkies]

Your voice is so calming that by 15 mins in I was in a slight state of meditation....so I got a massive fright when you inserted that "booooiiIIIIG" noise

[@dsoules4749]

Never pressed a video so fast! 20 minutes of Emmy! 🤗🤗🤗

[@emmymade]

😍

[@amymccormick97]

Can't wait to see more of these videos! I don't know what it is about them, but they're so interesting and calming, I could watch them all night!

[@TheresaForino]

Emmy a little tip for the drink pouches, after sealing, and always double check first, food the top over once or twice before shaking them. Always love watching your videos, so much fun!

[@elysabethpoodle6234]

I absolutely love Emmy. Without really knowing someone she would have to be one person that couldnt have a bad bone in her body. She comes over so real and lovable. She is just a delight to watch and these vids seem so far from what I would have thought she would want to produce but she is just great at it. Well done girl and I hope you go far.

[@modestnarcissist100]

She's so good at describing things. So accurate and articulate.

[@angelalbano4234]

Hey Emmy, amazing video as usual, and congratulations on almost one million subscribers that's incredible and you deserve every last one of your subs and sooo many more!!!!!!! Keep up the amazing videos and I'll keep watching!!!

[@bostark7722]

EMMY!! love it im early and a huge fan of the MRE community...your channel rocks and your so open minded,well spoken and soo deserve the GOLD play button...soon & cheers

[@LaurenC9]

ROAD TO ONE MILLION WITH EMMY!!!! YASSS

[@arthurschopenhauer4999]

emmy's voice gives me asmr

[@Zyphera]

Pseu do Nimo Emmy predates ASMR.

[@tiagriffin6379]

Me too her voice is so soothing

[@gwapo5259]

You reading my mind

[@mayaG183]

I thought I was the only one

[@palimpalim5291]

Not to forget her eloquence and her stunning and incredibly youthful looks

[@hoser7706]

Your presentations are entertaining and informative fun. And you must be the cutest person on the interweb!! Keep up the great work!

[@lacey6431]

Who else could FEEL that something ironic would happen after Emmy said "seal it tightly" at 14:30? 🙋🏻🙋🏻🙋🏻

[@elenicakes]

Maximum Procrastination I didn't even have time to think that 😂

[@Babs0009]

So excited to see another MRE video!!! Love the variety on your channel and genuine reactions Emmy. You're wonderful!

[@CatScratchy]

I used to take these with me on hikes or to the beach when I was younger, but had long forgotten their splendors. Now, thanks to you Emmy, I'm getting new ones to try all the time! Thank you and much love from Puget Sound!!

[@adrilyfe7869]

i just love the way emmy talks! love your videos.. thanks emmy! MRE videos rock!

[@arkyandy9612]

Almost to a million. Best wishes to your channels future. I've been enjoying your videos since uncle Steve sent me. ✌️

[@tinapaytinapay]

I dropped a mozzarella making video for this. I didn't regret it.

[@tinapaytinapay]

The sear marks on the chicken look like it was painted on 😂

[@cara-6152]

Shee Na oh my God is the cheese stick okay?!

[@tinapaytinapay]

Cara S. I mean, it was just a video so I guess it's okay 😂

[@kamiko70]

you have an adorable giggle when you were eating the apple fritter. so cute to watch! i hate raisins, but i love Craisins!

[@amanacatandhisdog8836]

Like how you are so positive. The energy bars/applesauce/pudding remind me when no doze and vivarin caffeine tabs were very popular. Those are just caffeine tabs people mainly used on long trips. When my brother was young he tried milk bones and told me the different colors green/veggie red/meat etc all taste the same more marketed to people but same taste.

[@alisa1727]

That moment when you spilled your drink when you milkshake had me laughing out loud!! Im really clumsy and stuff like that happens quite often with me, sorry that keeps happening to you emmy (I've seen it happen in another vid too) I share your pain!

[@wudeatcrap4monie947]

I watched her since her channel has 100K subs or less it makes me happy to see her channel grow and become more popular, I'll keep rooting for you,your family and your channel

[@dogboywillis]

yay emmy! this is the perfect things to relax to before bed, perfect upload time!

[@carolirae]

Whistling truly never was my forte! But watching KZbin videos is. Thank you for more of these! They are my faavvvorite

[@balindabarks785]

That was a great one. I have to give you credit Emmy you'll taste anything. I love your videos and look forward to the new post.

[@jefferygohjr]

You need more subscribers Emmy! You're amazing! And almost 80-90% of the comments are positive ❤️

[@sit-downwithyaya]

I love this woman! I just started following your channel and I’m already hooked! 😩💖

[@jacquelinerojas9235]

I love your reactions and expressions along with the ending of your videos. You remind of someone so similar to you. Thank you for all your videos and continue doing what your doing, your the best.

[@Melissa0774]

There are some companies that actually make dog food and treats that are made to be safe for human consumption. You should try some of those in a video. I don't remember her name, but the owner of one of those companies received a lot of publicity when she ate only her pet food products for, I think, a month or something. Maybe one these companies would even sponsor a video.

[@vizualblessin]

the initial reaction after the dairy shake had me laid out on the floor lol. my dad was in the air force and my brother an i found a box of these rations before.... we opened them all and ate the crunchy m&m's out of each pack lol. so kudos to you for trying everything

[@payunie]

I also got the BBQ pork wrap in an MRE with my boyfriend and I didn’t like it at all because it was so sweet!!! He didn’t taste the sweetness at all but to me it was an unwelcome overpowering sweetness. I’m so glad you also taste it too and I know I’m not crazy!

[@VivicaViolet]

Guys Emmy is getting so close to a million! So deserving and lovely

[@ari.nicoleee]

I'm so glad your all most at a million subbies !!

[@singingmyblue8000]

Love the new cups you have, Emmy! When you spilled that dairyshake though 🐸😂😂👌

[@ClanImprobable]

So descriptive, thank you Emmy!

[@Bgarcia-1097]

I love your pigtails, Emmy! So cute! 😘❤💋

[@mavkis]

your videos are so relaxing and nice to watch😍

[@markashlock8058]

Finally!! Someone who knows the correct way to open a Opinel. Hope your viewers didn't miss it. You go girl! ; )

[@onceuponagoat2316]

LOL I looked at your other video with you spilling the drink when you mentioned it here, then you go ahead and spill another one towards the end. So hilarious :P

[@eatdefeat]

I love these videos. They're so interesting lol. Much love from Florida Em!

[@tonycmac]

FSR's are not very good in my opinion. Don't get me wrong - they are better than nothing and have the calories your need. Remember that these are all part of the MRE program - they are not Meals Ready to Eat...... but more like Meals, Rejected by Enemy or even Meals Ready to Exit.

[@furbyfurbs]

tonycmac hahahahahaha 😂😂

[@IsyahSalam]

tonycmac oh damn you really made my day hahahahaha🤣

[@stephw6046]

tonycmac 🤣🤣😂😂

[@derinaries]

Ready to exit your bowels!

[@thomasknight9896]

This is known as field stripping anything not necessary goes! Anyone that hasn’t had to carry a combat load thinks that we draw rations and just throw it in the pack. We strip anything not needed out.Rations and ammunition and any other over packaging goes. Every ounce counts! Stilllove you Emmy!

[@Oldsmokey1]

One thing I've noticed about the "combos" when I ate them by there self. They left a greasy film in the roof of my mouth. Usually I eat the worn other stuff so I didn't notice before. Oh and the zip lock drink bags. After you zip it closed fold it over a few times before shaking. P.S That's my favorite military gum. It's the reason I was able to make the drive home from Doswell from the mre meetup.

[@emmymade]

+oldsmokey That gum is potent.

[@rekuf]

My favourite MRE taste test from you so far!!!

[@kiya___]

I've been subscribed to you for about a year now and your hair has never changed. Not in a bad way your hair is cute like that :)

[@apfelstrudlOfOA]

MRE rations really pleasures my OCD, even more than oddly satisfying videos

[@2coixos]

The “mystery meat“ always reminds me of a Christmas dinner my mom made for the whole family a long time ago. This one course where everybody got a plate with what looked like (and everybody thought it was) chocolate pudding, but it turned out to be “mystery meat“. And yes, It ended bad.

[@MikeMikewaz]

it's summer. do some ice cream taste test for us. 😁

[@suzawilo]

mike wazowski Yesssss please☺

[@theclownsystem9429]

I just discovered this channel and am binge watching the MRE tasting playlist and the videos of her doing strange recipes

[@Mr_preemo]

what on earth. 32 years old and I never thought to light those matches the way you did. learn something new everyday.

[@giseleyork3275]

I love your videos, Emmy! Keep them going!

[@amirshahid944]

love you Emmy and your sillyness and niceness.

[@williamking2249]

Awesome video Thanks for sharing it, your mre reviews are fun to watch.

[@elisalukasik6334]

Your channel is so addicting! I've been binge watching your vids for about 3 days x')

[@kamiko70]

when i was like 4, i came up missing for a couple of hours. when they found me, i was sound asleep in the dog food bag. i was so tiny, i fit inside those big bags of dog food. apparently i liked the dog food, and mama had a hard time keeping me out of it. i guess i had a lunch of doggie nuggets, and then a good nap. LOL!!

[@sirostauffer7462]

3:40 didnt know that trick with using the back of the folding top to apply presssusre thx

[@iluvqueen1]

Emmy where did you get those cups? I'm in love! Perhaps IKEA?

[@KrisKaBloom]

I love the long videos!! I like to watch while I eat breakfast. It's an awesome start to my day. Thanks so much, Emmy!

[@OneSuaveGrizzly]

You should fold the top of the drink pouches over and hold them at the top and bottom, sort of like a cocktail shaker, when you shake them to avoid spilling.

[@samfraizer12]

Whistling was never me forte. Another fun MRE video, thanks Emmy!

[@iametoh]

Good review, I have cases of these and other rations. I enjoyed watching you do this ^^

[@bethanycrockett-ogden9777]

1st off I want to say thank you very much you gave me the idea of ordering and mores off of Amazon which I did I have been storing them in my car which it's a good thing I did because on a road trip we recently took we became stranded in the middle of though Oregon forest About 5 miles from civilization I am in a wheelchair it was not an ideal situation This kept us fed and my child sane well help arrived

[@charisestanley9657]

I love your long Videos they are sooooo satisfying 😍❤️

[@micah1234321]

Yess! I love you're ration pack taste tests. Im super early hehe

[@TS-ir8xt]

Steve1989.. would've stored that for 70 years and then tasted it.. But you do a wonderful job.. and a lot prettier. ...

[@Cssargarcia]

I freaking love LOVE your hair like that ♡
