Stop making fun of Ben 😡

[@AceTrigger00]

Something else you can do with the cheese spread: knead it first, then put it inside the cardboard box (when it’s used correctly) so the heat warms it up while your entree is cooking.

[@Drownedinblood]

They could've literally made a pizza hot pocket, that'd be way better imo. They do have like a pepperoi "sandwich" but it's still dry af. Be happy you never had to get the veggie omlet.

[@therealrobertmcdonald]

In both Army ROTC and AFJROTC my favorite MRE was the spaghetti in meat sauce.

[@Staceylwolf]

We got the cherry blueberry cobbler in our MRE too. We tried the meatball one. We also have the chili and a chicken noodle bake that we haven’t tried yet.

[@lIlIlIlIlIlIlIlIlIlIlIlI-cn9pg]

please eat some dessert particularly from a bakery, THAT would be MIGHTY FINE.

[@sagaxus7422]

Just like most other foods, there are good and bad MREs. My personal favorites from out on the field is the meatballs, chili Mac, and all the ones with candy in them. There are some foods that I definitely don't eat tho.

[@JohnBillings83]

I remember the chilli mac MRE being pretty good and grabbed an extra one at the time. That was twenty years ago though.

I feel like this is the most accurate taste test of an MRI out there. Very genuine and simple. I would take Ben's food recommendations any day

[@vetoedimpersonator4478]

bro said mri lowe it

[@StephenJ117]

Here I’ll give you my recommendation since I’m currently serving in the Marines. This was not an accurate taste test lol. He didn’t heat up anything properly. The key here is heating up the pizza and cheese spread and laying down on the pizza. Warm up the cobbler as it’s actually one of the better tasting deserts. Trust me, when you’re in the field, this tastes like a 5 star meal. Civilians need to try these when you haven’t eaten for hours and have been humping 5-10 miles. It’ll change your mind for sure how these taste then lol.

[@mmmyeah7]

[@thatonecomment6893]

i think its fine tbh. a lot of times my uncle who served told me that sometimes in camp he had a certain amount of time to eat so eating them cold was the fastest way. had a few of them cold myself and i say *a few* taste good cold. like the spegetii pack@@StephenJ117

“Should I test the salt?” … “Salt.” 😂

[@cohegaming8069]

As an army soldier who has eaten probably over a thousand of these, you’re supposed to keep the cardboard on the outside so it retains the heat when heating your food. Kind of like an insulator

[@tw1tw289]

He acknowledged that he made it wrong anyways.

[@kyle5299]

Glad to see you tried an actual MRE we'd be given out in the field. I see a lot of people trying third party MRE's off camping/prepper sites and stuff that are much better / fancier lol. Pizza is a bit newer than my time, but you got the general gist of how our meals were with this. I always felt like it was too much sweet stuff too but at the end of the day we're burning a ton of calories and sorta just demolish these things for fuel anyway. I don't know about other people, but in my case most of us just kind of ate them cold straight out the bag to save time and get on to whatever tf we had to do for the day lol. There were only a few jackpot MREs like chili mac where I'd take the time to make an elaborate heated meal if I could

[@BrotherBlakeUSMC]

Yeah, same here. The pizza one is overrated and tbh the beef stew one or the shredded beef with bbq sauce is the best ones but I still never took the time to heat them lol.

[@andycalhoun6471]

I don’t think this one is an actual mre like the field, all the stuff didn’t come vacuum sealed in one big pouch

[@kyle5299]

@@andycalhoun6471 Not sure when you served, but this is well-representative of what I had hundreds of times 2011-2015. Packaging is exactly the same. LRP's were the only other iteration of MRE I saw that would be significantly different and they were giving those out for some special forces guys during a training exercise.

[@RobertJ77]

Is it true that they came out in 1981 as he said, i for some reason thought they originated as early as WW2 even earlier, or did i miss something here? Ive seen so many MRE vids, some are lame as, and being as i havent served, reading your comment was refreshing such as i was in a way that watching something Authentic for the story and knowledge now.

[@kyle5299]

​@@RobertJ77 Hi Robert! I personally don't know specifics about the release years for some of these. What I can say is that they go through iterations and design changes, so as an example if you look up "C-Rations" you'll see what we used around WW2 and the Wikipedia would include years and stuff like that. They had tins and I'm assuming way less variety than we do today. The "MRE" we have today is its own iteration of ration, and usually is characterized by these big brown bags and lots of plastic packaging. We also update this one more frequently, as you can see there's pizzas and stuff now whereas even just ~12-13 years ago I wasn't having that.

[@luckymustard559]

“Should I test the salt?” Alright might as well” *Pours salt onto hand and licks it* “Salt.” 🤷🏻‍♂️ My favorite part of the video 😭

As someone who was in the army you damn right that jalapeno cheese spread was like the holy grail 😂 we would be trading all types of snacks just for the crackers and jalapeno cheese combo.

[@Hated123go]

When you haven’t ate in two days in the field, this is probably really decent.

[@babatundeolajide2222]

the trick is to put the pizza slice in the heater with the cheese spread then put the melted cheese onto the heated pizza and add the crackers to the bottom of the pizza to have a crunch , sorry in osut during chow i would always end up with a pizza slice and then trade your cobbler for a beef stick so u can have a bit of a pepperoni by slicing it with your cac or peanut butter to put on the oatmeal

[@sailorjerry5133]

The one thing you have to understand with MREs is LEGIT......taste is a fucking luxury....its something to boost your morale as much as can be.......the MAIN objective of that MRE is a fuel stop....its to give you the nutrients you need to fucking keep operating. If the military could put EVERYTHING we need in a day , into a tube of toothpaste and make it taste like something we could keep down without throwing up in the field they would do it. As a combat vet, man everything is made that way. Shit i still eat canned soup cold half the time.......just remember that when youre trying this stuff.....Flavor is a luxury

[@nolbertolopez1128]

he forgets that MRE's are for survival situations in terms of combat, disasters or just plain survival in the wilderness. the protein is important but when you are in a high stress bug out immediately environment, 14g of protein is a godsend to most. these are just to get you to the next meal or the next day.

😂 Ben your to funny....do a Korean MRE next. ✌️

[@Jaketheaxman]

Take a look at the nutrition facts for all the items. The mains and some sides are the only things with really substantial nutrition requirements, so when i go on long hikes i always say screw the heater and empty calories, i duct tape a main and a side together and those two packets are enough for a meal. It cuts 75% of size and about 35% of the weight, meaning you can pack more. Plus duct tape is a good way to start a fire in the rain, so wrapping a tape band around the "waist" of the two packets a few times will be more than enough for if you need to stop and make a fire quick. I keep the coffee and utilities in a separate waterproof packaging (ziplock bag) for retreival if i need them.

[@fleagaunag]

The dry elements of an mre are always the best tasting. A lot of sacrifices to taste and texture have to be made in order to make the wet elements shelf-stable. Overall a satisfying meal when hungry, which is when this would be naturally eaten. I very much prefer the MREs of other countries, in which they include commercial canned foods.

[@guilepro]

I looove when people try MRE's on KZbin! Thanks Ben! I think it's the second time you do something like this if I'm not mistaken. MRE rations just seem so appealing, so yummy to me. Kind of like canned food! I know it's weird LOL but I can't help it!
