I’ve seen my husband eat hundreds of these on FaceTime while he’s away in the Marine Corps! He watches GMM when he can and he really enjoyed this one, also said you got the ranking 100% correct😆
8 years of eating MRE’s, and the reactions you guys had were the same reactions we would have even after 8 years as if we expected something different or as if they would get better over time. Hilarious.
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!
c4yourself While i do agree that some of the metal taste comes from the preservatives, using "real" utensils like metal spoons and forks actually strengthen the taste. Never use metal utensils on metallic coated things.
So I'm not the only one that finds the casual, lax instruction to "Lean it up against a rock *or something.* " to be hilarious. Especially considering the heavy over detail given for the names of most MRE items. Not "Jalapeno beef patty", but instead "Beef Patty, Grilled, Jalapeno Pepper Jack Flavor." and so on.
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.
Logan Ligma it’s also a cost thing. They have to pump out thousands, maybe millions of these things on a daily basis, so they’re made as cheaply as possible.
Not sure if you ever had the pleasure of experiencing the vege omelet or not. But man I truly wish they would've found one for them to try. Im sure there are plenty still out there! Lol
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.
my dad was one of the developers of MRE's. we ate A LOT of them during the taste-test stage. i used to love the beef stroganoff one they had. also a chicken a la king one. i don't think they offer either of them anymore. on a side note, when my dad died, our family member ate MREs in his honor. :)
Dawn Louis-Jean they put the beef stroganoff in the arctic MREs now. Alaskan Tripp’s typically get the arctic ones for obvious reasons , so much better than regular MREs

I was having a look through Reddit threads today searching for more RUclips 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 RUclips 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.
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.
My favorite thing was witnessing idiots in my platoon during basic put water and tabasco sauce in the heating pack, Essentially making a pepper bomb which was frowned upon by the DS. Punishment included all those who participated had to take deep breaths and pass it along to the next idiot. Was really funny to watch.
just remember they have to keep everything simple for simple people, nothing over a 5th grade level or you'll confuse Jim Bob there. Was kinda funny the first time I saw that as well, then again we were a little devoid of humor at the time so anything would have probably been funny.
The metallic taste in the meals is from the vitamins they fortify it with. They try to get a whole day of nutrients into one meal. These meals are designed to give you enough calories and vitamins for a whole day in case you only get a chance to eat once a day. These are not designed to be eaten every day for an extended period of time. They are for combat field use. Once you are not in a combat situation you would eat normally prepared food. MRE's will definitely stop you up if you eat them for a long time... Hence the reason they give you the laxative gum.
scottcol23 so the military gets normal food when they are in like Iraq? They don’t just eat MREs every day? In my mind I worried about that and how they make sure they get ones they like. Like maybe they sign up to say which ones they want- but the military ply doesn’t care. Lol
I mean they don’t put laxatives in the gum anymore and you’d be surprised, I’ve had a few battle buddies in different Troops have to survive for month at a time on mre’s. Pop tarts are gold .
When my dad was in Afghanistan the few times we got to skype he would only complain about food and the first thing he did when he came back was get his degree in culinary arts
"I was excited and now I'm tired after 4" 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
when i was in Afghan the Afghan National Army that we were working with had Kosher meals called Halal Meals, they were amazing. We would take boxes of them for ourselves. They had things lamb and bagel ships, it was all Kosher which made them delicious. I would rank them as the best or the ones we stole from the Air Force guys that never left the FOB.
I bought a mre from a outdoor/country store I tried the BBQ beef mre it was pretty damn good. It had the constancy of mush and was over flavored. I'd eat it if I had to. It would of been better on hamburger buns.
Who agrees that for Halloween they should go to an extreme haunted house like the ones they talked about in a much earlier season of GMM where Rhett explained to Link the most extreme haunted houses in the world
As an active duty servicemember, I like that you guys are trying out the Mr. E's. I would also have loved to see you guys eat them without heating them, because the heaters don't work 90% of the time! It would absolutely change your experience. Also, my personal favorite (cold or heated) is Chicken Pesto Pasta. It is wonderful.
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
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.
*I've had a ton of MRE's and my favorites are probably the Hispanic food ones. The chicken noodle one I've had more than I can count, I actually liked it cause it came with hot sauce. Lots of them taste bad but these happen to be my favorite. One thing I've noticed is that the ones that are nastier tend to have the best sides. Lots and lots of trading goes on once people open there MRE's, it's like money almost. Candy and coffee were like striking gold.*
Au gratin potatoes is a French dish called "gratin dauphinois" , there's no cheese or bread crumbs in it (people often add cheese in it but it made people from the dauphinois region real mad 😂)
Gratin (French pronunciation: [ɡʁatɛ̃]) is a widespread culinary technique in which an ingredient is topped with a browned crust, often using breadcrumbs, grated cheese, egg and / or butter. Gratin originated in French cuisine and is usually prepared in a shallow dish of some kind. Potatoes dauphinois with cheese is Potatoes Dauphinoise Au Gratin. The Au Gratin signifies cheese and breadcrumbs.
@@mermaidatlantica well I'm french (and an ex-chef) and there's no cheese in a gratin dauphinois , if you add cheese in it it's called a "gratin Savoyard" so "gratin" = not necessarily cheese or bread crumbs in it (for exemple a "cassoulet gratiné" contains bread crumbs but no cheese...) Hope my English is on my point though because I left school years ago 😁
ouch my dude... I don't know what's up with these hurricanes these past couple years but being in WPB every one of them has avoided us but we fully expect them to hit us head on. Hope you guys are doing well
My son is in the Army and he has brought some of those home. Some of them aren’t too bad. He always says once you’ve eaten an MRE you can eat anything! Love y’all! Be your mythical best!
My dad used to bring home MREs all the time. And i remember eating some of them. My dad was basically a single dad and raised me. Sometime the MRES were better than what he cooked. One thing he always said was the fried chicken was the worst. But the pasta ones were pretty good.
I’m currently a member of the army. I had to eat these almost every day during basic (last summer). Some are better than others and there are some that taste like complete trash. My 2 personal favorites are the one that has a Cherry Blueberry Cobbler and the one that has a chocolate chip peanut butter cookie (I don’t remember the name of those 2)
I lost 40lbs in basic training thanks to these and they’ve been improved since! As far as I’m aware some of the worst didn’t exist anymore by the time I got out. I’m looking at you ham omelette and beef franks!
really? Mres always got me bloated and the sodium count on that shit is high, i do prefer mres over hot chow on the field though cause the army be skimping on the portions with hot chow but when you get an mre you got a 3 course meal. so cant complain. Also that shit gives you constipation
When in a tight situation you don't care about what your eating and whether its warm or not, you're just glad you have food and time to eat it. MREs are fine to eat cold or warm and help soldiers immensely in completing their missions. My superiors have us cook with the heating pouch outside of the tents. Their still flammable. I've saved them to use as hand heaters too. Also, the spoons provided in an MRE are plastic. I personally would just lick the spoon clean if I needed, forget the napkin nonsense.
Lets also not forget that an MRE is 4000 calories. These things aren't meant to be cuisine, they pump them full of protein, carbs, and essential fats so even if you skimp out of half your MRE you still get almost a day's worth of nutrition.
@@YoGramGram1 I'm not sure where you got that number from but I quickly googled it and found that a Pork Patty MRE has only about 1,300 calories. Definitely a hearty meal but nowhere near your claim.
@@professionalschizo I think he's prolly talking about a 24 hour ration pack. Depending on which one they sit around 3000 or more. But yeah a lil inflated
This is the most accurate MRE rating I’ve ever seen. Beef taco is the game, chili with beans next, and then everything else can go f**k itself. Thanks Rhett and Link for doing this 😂
The do not overfill line is there for a reason, and then you commenced to fold it tightly. You could have made an MRE bomb. Would have made the episode more interesting, but also caused harm. Don't do that.
I was honestly looking for this comment to reassure myself that my idiot friends weren't the only ones that would make MRE bombs with a Gatorade bottle.
Gonna be this guy, if you read the instructions you're actually supposed to fold it and put it into the sleeve. Their mistake was then standing it up vertically
I've actually recently subbed to him. I find MREs fascinating and I try to grab one every few weeks. There's something intriguing about the fact that MREs aren't _prepared_ so much as they are _designed_ -It's oddly satisfying to follow along with him as I go through my own. "Alright let's get this out on to a tray." *Cut* "Nice"
« Au Gratin » just literally means cheese, the actual real word tho is « Gratiné », which means the meal has a layer of melted cheese on top of it, usually put on top of spaghettis, macaronis or other pastas.
Hey for the taco meal, don't forget the accessory pack that has a hot sauce/salsa pack and a seasoning pack. It really helps the taco meat "wake up". Most of the meals come with a condiment of some sort. And you need to drink the powdered drink mix or instant coffee. Your missing the best part! And don't forget to eat the gum! Save a bunch of the gum and chew a bunch all at once. LoL. (it may or may not be a laxative) the mint gum is better than the cinnamon gum.
I was wondering where all the snacks and drinks were, but at the end of the video they said they'd be eating that on GMMore, so maybe they got confused with the condiments.
As a vegetarian in the army, only having like 4 options out of 24 on two boxes - Chad always does take the vegetarian taco pasta
I'm fairly sure thats the joke
Vegetable Lasagna isn't bad, I wouldn't want to eat it every day though, or even twice a week.
I'd say the best vegan MRE I had was the ratatouille back in Basic, last time I ever ate MREs.
We need meat eaters in the Army
Did people make fun of you for it? I feel like they’re all animals in basic and would’ve

They have that taste because of the preservatives as well, because they have to survive the desert and transportation there and all that
You only need like one MRE every 24 hours allowing a soldier to eat a full meal and still be able to fight or march
@@calebmoore7007 Two per day. Three if you don't want to shit for a week.
The old MRE's had upwards of 2,000 calories each but the modern ones top out at around 12-1300. Some don't even have 1k

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 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Beautifully said.
Melomania honestly for me, and others it kind of felt less quality and more quantity. But i still watched when they did the four.
Linc: Tastes like school supplies.
Marines: Did somebody say crayon?

@@scratchliquid1 How's your pizza at 30k?
Alright let's get this out onto a tray. _Nice!_ Mkay.
*PAPI CHULO* I like your reference.
You. I like you.
only 90s kids will remember
This smells a bit rancid, let's try it. Hopefully you're talking about Steve1989mreinfo
I see what you did their. You referring to the military hippy that likes eating more then combat.
My favorite thing about the heating element is it literally says put it on a rock or something
TOTAKKY R I knew a guy who got that as a tattoo. It was literally the picture with “a rock or something” below it.
Haha... Hooah!
My favorite thing was witnessing idiots in my platoon during basic put water and tabasco sauce in the heating pack, Essentially making a pepper bomb which was frowned upon by the DS. Punishment included all those who participated had to take deep breaths and pass it along to the next idiot. Was really funny to watch.
just remember they have to keep everything simple for simple people, nothing over a 5th grade level or you'll confuse Jim Bob there. Was kinda funny the first time I saw that as well, then again we were a little devoid of humor at the time so anything would have probably been funny.
My favourite thing about the heating element is the heat it generates
The metallic taste in the meals is from the vitamins they fortify it with. They try to get a whole day of nutrients into one meal. These meals are designed to give you enough calories and vitamins for a whole day in case you only get a chance to eat once a day. These are not designed to be eaten every day for an extended period of time. They are for combat field use. Once you are not in a combat situation you would eat normally prepared food. MRE's will definitely stop you up if you eat them for a long time... Hence the reason they give you the laxative gum.
scottcol23 so the military gets normal food when they are in like Iraq? They don’t just eat MREs every day? In my mind I worried about that and how they make sure they get ones they like. Like maybe they sign up to say which ones they want- but the military ply doesn’t care. Lol
scottcol23 So if I wanted to be lazy, could I eat 1 MRE a day and nothing else to save money? I wouldn’t do it though, sounds horrible.
if you wanted to be lazy and constantly constipated sure
missychelle33 Yes. The fact you think that’s all they eat when away from US is kind of a bummer.
I mean they don’t put laxatives in the gum anymore and you’d be surprised, I’ve had a few battle buddies in different Troops have to survive for month at a time on mre’s. Pop tarts are gold .
I feel personally attacked by this video. Lol. I NEVER touched the vegetarian MREs in the military, though. I knew better. Lol.
Only one you really have to avoid is spinach fettuccine
Plz make a video with Gordon Ramsey
They aren't worthy
They’d get their mf head exploded
Robert easier said then done
Not compatible
Gordon ramsey would say its too bland
Ya guys need to bring in steve1989 and eat the scary stuff from decades ago.
I love Steve! Glad to see another fan!
Nice H I S S
Let's get this out onto a tray
@@waluigiswaluweenie8194 Nice
bump this to the top
When my dad was in Afghanistan the few times we got to skype he would only complain about food and the first thing he did when he came back was get his degree in culinary arts
Kate Grantham that’s cool and it’s also cool he served my dad served in the army in Iraq
I love that lol
Hah thats great, I do consider studying cuknary arts during or after the airforce.
Say thank you to your dad for me
Kate Why u didnt cook for him? smh ungrateful
"I was excited and now I'm tired after 4"
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
Faith Fuller you are not lying
I feel like you could call it CANVAS
Chicken
And
Noodles with
Vegetables
And
Sauce
actual canvas probably tastes better.
@@DragnSly lolol
I was laughing my ass of when Rhett reacted :D Nonono no. XD
i think you should try all the different MRE's from different countries, would be fun to see, what country has the tastiest MRE
when i was in Afghan the Afghan National Army that we were working with had Kosher meals called Halal Meals, they were amazing. We would take boxes of them for ourselves. They had things lamb and bagel ships, it was all Kosher which made them delicious. I would rank them as the best or the ones we stole from the Air Force guys that never left the FOB.
@@Viking_Dave_Fitness Halal and Kosher are similar, but two entirely different dietary restrictions for two entirely different religions.
Oooo yes
PyroNinja713 correct but the packages did say they were kosher as well as halal....but yes I know what you’re saying.
7:39-8:09 it’s so funny how Rhett abruptly gets out of character
*turns back forward* " _yeah_ "
And to think... you two are trying the IMPROVED MREs.
Is that what it is? I don't remember any of those entrees.
Yeah, these are the 'better' ones...lol. I never got any of these when I was still active duty.
These are 5th or 6th generation MREs. Likes for the Dehydrated Pork or Beef Patty!
I bought a mre from a outdoor/country store I tried the BBQ beef mre it was pretty damn good. It had the constancy of mush and was over flavored. I'd eat it if I had to. It would of been better on hamburger buns.
Let's get this out on to a tray.... ...nice.
Nice hiss
John Doe mkay
Mmm kay
one more bite
Thriving Entrepreneur oh wow
Who agrees that for Halloween they should go to an extreme haunted house like the ones they talked about in a much earlier season of GMM where Rhett explained to Link the most extreme haunted houses in the world
Cool idea but it would have to stay family friendly
😱Yes!
Anybody remember when they were gonna make a restaurant serving only MREs and call it MREs please? 😂😂😂
You know what would be funny is an international MREs challenge
The ones from Russia are interesting
In asia pack your own pots and cook our own rice..
As an active duty servicemember, I like that you guys are trying out the Mr. E's. I would also have loved to see you guys eat them without heating them, because the heaters don't work 90% of the time! It would absolutely change your experience. Also, my personal favorite (cold or heated) is Chicken Pesto Pasta. It is wonderful.
Thank you for your service!
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
who cares
Please try spinach’s fettuccine that was the worst during mct
Thanks for your service!
How could they do an MRE taste test without doing chili mac... there has to be a part 2 now
Seems like they've fazed some out, I've never heard of any of the ones showed here.
or the older ones,,like the ham and eggs,, i loved that one,, was really good even though it looked kinda green,, lol
Buffalo chicken is where it’s at. Plus there is the pizza one
Man o man. I'd laugh my ass off at them tasting the omelette!
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 should have invited Steve1989MREInfo for this episode.

XoX Didn’t get it until I saw this comment ... 😂💀
No veggie omelet? Take "ultimate" outta this title. You dunno MRE until you eat the Vomelet.
*OMG! I remember those! Vom City!* 😨😨😨
*I've had a ton of MRE's and my favorites are probably the Hispanic food ones. The chicken noodle one I've had more than I can count, I actually liked it cause it came with hot sauce. Lots of them taste bad but these happen to be my favorite. One thing I've noticed is that the ones that are nastier tend to have the best sides. Lots and lots of trading goes on once people open there MRE's, it's like money almost. Candy and coffee were like striking gold.*
meh everything tastes better with hot sauce
trick of the trade worst meal has the best candy. also crackers and cheese spread are the most releiable
The buffalo chicken is one of my favorites, literally anything with a bun is somewhat edible.
au gratin means to cover something with cheese and bread crumbs and then brown it in the oven to give it a golden crunch...
Au gratin potatoes is a French dish called "gratin dauphinois" , there's no cheese or bread crumbs in it (people often add cheese in it but it made people from the dauphinois region real mad 😂)
Gratin (French pronunciation: [ɡʁatɛ̃]) is a widespread culinary technique in which an ingredient is topped with a browned crust, often using breadcrumbs, grated cheese, egg and / or butter. Gratin originated in French cuisine and is usually prepared in a shallow dish of some kind.
Potatoes dauphinois with cheese is Potatoes Dauphinoise Au Gratin. The Au Gratin signifies cheese and breadcrumbs.
@@mermaidatlantica well I'm french (and an ex-chef) and there's no cheese in a gratin dauphinois , if you add cheese in it it's called a "gratin Savoyard" so "gratin" = not necessarily cheese or bread crumbs in it (for exemple a "cassoulet gratiné" contains bread crumbs but no cheese...) Hope my English is on my point though because I left school years ago 😁

You're probably still constipated. They plug me up like a wine cork.
Eating MREs every day for that long, if you managed to poop at all it smelled god-awful.

My son is in the Army and he has brought some of those home. Some of them aren’t too bad. He always says once you’ve eaten an MRE you can eat anything! Love y’all! Be your mythical best!

He should come on and have them eat old mres and current ones!!!
My dad used to bring home MREs all the time. And i remember eating some of them. My dad was basically a single dad and raised me. Sometime the MRES were better than what he cooked. One thing he always said was the fried chicken was the worst. But the pasta ones were pretty good.
you guys should have had #STEVE1989MREInfo on as a guest!

No chili mac? No chicken pesto pasta? No hashbrowns?
C'mon lads, you didn't get to try our highly regarded MRE menu options.
The Commenter very true. Those are definitely my top three
Chicken Pesto Pasta is amazing. No one in my unit likes it and I have no clue why.
Chicken Pesto Pasta leaves a terrible after taste and gives me heartburn
They didn't get any of the bad ones either, no maple flavored pork Patty, no beef jalpeno, spinach fettucine
The Mexican style chicken stew should definitely be on that list as well
I’m currently a member of the army. I had to eat these almost every day during basic (last summer). Some are better than others and there are some that taste like complete trash. My 2 personal favorites are the one that has a Cherry Blueberry Cobbler and the one that has a chocolate chip peanut butter cookie (I don’t remember the name of those 2)
I lost 40lbs in basic training thanks to these and they’ve been improved since! As far as I’m aware some of the worst didn’t exist anymore by the time I got out. I’m looking at you ham omelette and beef franks!
The one I hated the most was chicken pesto pasta 🤢 had one bite at basic of it and almost threw it up .
@@professionalschizo wtf do you have against Asian beef strips? Those were pretty good. In my opinion Beef Brisket is the worst
really? Mres always got me bloated and the sodium count on that shit is high, i do prefer mres over hot chow on the field though cause the army be skimping on the portions with hot chow but when you get an mre you got a 3 course meal. so cant complain. Also that shit gives you constipation
When in a tight situation you don't care about what your eating and whether its warm or not, you're just glad you have food and time to eat it. MREs are fine to eat cold or warm and help soldiers immensely in completing their missions.
My superiors have us cook with the heating pouch outside of the tents. Their still flammable. I've saved them to use as hand heaters too.
Also, the spoons provided in an MRE are plastic. I personally would just lick the spoon clean if I needed, forget the napkin nonsense.
Lets also not forget that an MRE is 4000 calories. These things aren't meant to be cuisine, they pump them full of protein, carbs, and essential fats so even if you skimp out of half your MRE you still get almost a day's worth of nutrition.
@@YoGramGram1 I'm not sure where you got that number from but I quickly googled it and found that a Pork Patty MRE has only about 1,300 calories. Definitely a hearty meal but nowhere near your claim.
@@professionalschizo I think he's prolly talking about a 24 hour ration pack. Depending on which one they sit around 3000 or more. But yeah a lil inflated
Let's get that out on to a tray.

This is the most accurate MRE rating I’ve ever seen. Beef taco is the game, chili with beans next, and then everything else can go f**k itself. Thanks Rhett and Link for doing this 😂
Vegetable crumbles?? deadass my favorite
The only thing that would make the beef taco great is if you were lucky enough to get the jalapeño cheese, and the packet of tabasco!
The do not overfill line is there for a reason, and then you commenced to fold it tightly. You could have made an MRE bomb. Would have made the episode more interesting, but also caused harm. Don't do that.
I was honestly looking for this comment to reassure myself that my idiot friends weren't the only ones that would make MRE bombs with a Gatorade bottle.
Seriously thought the same thing when i seen him fold it closed, then tuck it in the cardboard holder lmao.
then only reason it didnt explode is that he didnt put it on its side like youre supposed to and all the heating elements didnt touch water
Gonna be this guy, if you read the instructions you're actually supposed to fold it and put it into the sleeve. Their mistake was then standing it up vertically

Does anyone else watch Steve1989MREInfo? He is a great MRE reviewer and historian
I do! Got really excited when i saw this video :D
Isaac Ezac he’s really good!
I've actually recently subbed to him. I find MREs fascinating and I try to grab one every few weeks. There's something intriguing about the fact that MREs aren't _prepared_ so much as they are _designed_ -It's oddly satisfying to follow along with him as I go through my own.
"Alright let's get this out on to a tray."
*Cut*
"Nice"
I sure do
Yes I love his videos
Next time get those out onto a tray
Nice
This coffee has some very rich tones, almost like cocoa or some cinnamon.
Nice!
lol one of my favorite channels to watch and I dont know why
« Au Gratin » just literally means cheese, the actual real word tho is « Gratiné », which means the meal has a layer of melted cheese on top of it, usually put on top of spaghettis, macaronis or other pastas.
gratin is what that means, au is basically “with” so if you were to see au jus on a steak menu it means it has a beef sauce.
Hands down the best thing in any MRE is the jalapeño cheese spread!
Mark Battle nah, it’s the cherry blueberry cobbler
Agree to the Jalapeño cheese spread, an italian bread sticks with jalapeño cheese, or in the taco beef 👌🏻
With bread
Expired skittles are the best😂
You can make moves with Jalapeño Cheese Spread lol 😂
Hey for the taco meal, don't forget the accessory pack that has a hot sauce/salsa pack and a seasoning pack. It really helps the taco meat "wake up". Most of the meals come with a condiment of some sort. And you need to drink the powdered drink mix or instant coffee. Your missing the best part! And don't forget to eat the gum! Save a bunch of the gum and chew a bunch all at once. LoL. (it may or may not be a laxative) the mint gum is better than the cinnamon gum.
The gum itself isn't laxative(not on purpose) but the sweetener in it is(the same for all sugar free gum literally any gum at any store)
The cinnamon one is better IMO
cinnamon gum is always better
I was wondering where all the snacks and drinks were, but at the end of the video they said they'd be eating that on GMMore, so maybe they got confused with the condiments.
Yea please eat the gums! I want to see what happens next
Do an episode where you do...
