    For those people, who wonder how the FRH (Flameless Ration Heater) works: Ration heaters generate heat in an electron-transfer process called an oxidation-reduction reaction. Water oxidizes magnesium metal, according to the following chemical reaction: Mg + 2H2O → Mg(OH)2 + H2 [+ heat].

    Thanks for reminding me, I need to order a new case. My dad gave me a 12 count box when I moved out on my own, told me to hold onto it in case I ever hit hard times, and damn if he wasn't right about that. I lived off those twelve meals for about a month and a half when I was out of work, long enough to find a new gig and get some income flowing again. Seriously folks, never underestimate the value of having a box of MREs in the house, they may not be the tastiest thing you'll ever eat, but it's better than starving or begging for money from your family.

The Chipotle tortillas were an awesome touch - or I guess you could say, it was pretty nice!

If MRE's weren't $20 a pop on line I'd stock up on chicken burrito bowls! Only down side was mine came with an apple turnover instead of a cinnamon bun (it looked exactly like the cinnamon bun) and it wasn't all that good.

      I think he's referring to the fact that on occasion, U.S. soldiers deployed in combat won't get a chance to eat in sometimes 12 hours or more. Basically, if Steve thought it tastes good now, just imagine how good it tastes after 12 hours of no eating, and maybe throw in some rigorous exercise too.

No matter what MRE video I watch, if the person didn't grow up with Corn Nuts they treat it as something exotic. There's nothing inherently wrong with it, it's just funny to me because it's something I grew up on.

    In my counrty (Republic of korea) soldiers still eating exactly same MRE that i use to eat almost 7years ago. I can’t saying our MRE is bad, but we need keep making something new like US MRE.

      The thing is that probably say 60% of the military rolls over over the course of 4 years. Changing the menu is a waste, I got out almost 6 years ago and never heard of this MRE, does it really matter?

      Korean food is good though most US mre's are generic and boring.

      space ghost coast to coast as a korean I think I'd love to try your "boring" foods! Maybe it's because we're so used to our country's foods.

      I think most ROK military service members serve less time in the military than Americans due to mandatory conscription. It’s kind of pointless to make new MREs when the people keep changing.

    Ok you talked me into buying an mre just to try. They are not cheap which is a downfall but they super cool and fun lol: I think I’ll grab a Russian one too. They got hen on amazon. They even have a Kazakhstan one as well interesting. I wanna eat mine while I watch you eat the same one haha! Maybe while I’m camping or at the park that would be fun. 😊

    I love the new #16 menu Chicken burrito bowl. it’s pretty good and decent. Instead of the crunchy corn bits i got a bag of trail mix and pretzels 😋 i like your videos, they’re very comprehensive and entertaining! Keep it up. 👏

    I recently had a Menu 9, Cold weather. Rice and chicken, Mexican. The sad fact is i can get one on ebay, and its still cheaper than dominoes. But my point being. Mneu 9 was delicious. Some of the rice stayed crunchy may well have been my fault. But it was incredibly filling and healthy coming with smoked almonds and dried cranberries. and a chocolate banana dessert bar. I highly reccomend it for anyone who likes MRE tasting.
