LOL I'm so tired and my friends to be able the best way for me I was a little too hard and fast food place I want you in my head hurts so bad I don't have the right way and it will take the bus driver just got to go home now I'm just like to e I don't think I might have a great day for me a the same time as a result of the in between my iPad is not an issue with my friends are like a baby I love you so much.
Oh yeah man when your out in the field you just eat that MRE like a dog that hasn’t eaten in days but when there’s hot chow my lord everybody runs to get it
The only thing military in those meals were the entrées. All the other crap was just off the shelf of a store. Try this with real MREs and the results will be different. Plus the main problem is menu fatigue not bad food.
cracking one of these open for lunch after gutting your Katrina flooded house was actually a highlight of the day. i lived off of these damn good things for months.
"You have to be away from your family and stuff for years, but... secretly the hardest part is opening your food" The most soldier like quote in this video.
"Food is the last thing they think about" have you ever met a soldier food is always on their priorities list, especially if it is free, and they'll spread the word to any of their buddies in the area that there is free food. They think about food all the time, maybe not in the middle of a firefight but after one I guarantee they are going to start thinking about food, that's exhausting and they need calorie intake to keep moving. I've seen helmet cam combat footage where one of them does pull out a bar of something to eat in the middle of the fight, granted they were on the Mk19 grenade launcher and a good distance away from the enemy, but still. Also the Mk19 is awesome, I want to try firing one so badly.
I have the feeling that survival is second on the priorities list, first is getting your friends out. I have seen combat footage where soldiers are eating right in the middle of those fights.
+Jason Fraser Yeh personally as a US army soldier I think about food all the time. And yes once I had the sudden desire in the middle of a attack to eat a cheese burger. Luckily I didnt eat that cheese burger. Also im the only one in our barracks that hasn't got too fire the Mk19. Also MREs are great, unless you eat them raw with no water like I did once...
TheOriginalMC Since2011 I've heard the breakfast MREs aren't all that tasty, the ROTC has a hard time getting anybody to take them. I never said MREs were gross, they just aren't as good as the same dish that you would get at home or a restaurant.
There aren't exactly MRE's specifically for breakfast but there are has times and bacon meat patty and like one other that may not be in rotation anymore but all of the MRE's are for every meal of the day
Yea, I don't think someone would say "well im on front lines in the middle of the night, better eat" no, if you are in a stressful situation, you aren't thinking of eating.
+DABOMB_BLOWN actually in Iraq soldiers sometimes ate nothing but mres for weeks because of problems with local food ... also those aren't real military mres actual military mres are actually illegal for civilians to own because the government considers mres to be the property of the military and while you most likely won't actually get arrested you will get a fine (I think) and the meal confiscated... all mres you see in surplus shops are almost always survival rations which the military do not produce or own they just have the appearance of military ones so use the name mre
+Michael Abrams I'm pretty sure I already said that... but that's OK if your military... you would know much better than I do... I tried to enlist and they wouldn't accept me due to my autism...
I'm a former Army Brat. Before my parents split up 22 years ago I remember my dad bringing these home for me and my brother to try. They were quite good to my 6 year old self. I want to give a big grand salute and Thank You to all those men and women who serve our country and may have to live off MRE's for whatever the reason may be.
Microwave-A-Guys MAG You guys don't even know how good you have it! We got to eat your MRE's for a field test and my god, I would love to eat those instead of what we get! But you are right about the fact that when you need to shit, you'll regret it all... :P
"food is probably one of the last things your thinking about' nah I want my squidge when I'm in the field. A hungry solider isn't an effective soldier.
Ive seen as low as 4200 and as high as about 7800... but the cereal in that one- worth it! They are made so if you arent doing anything then you only eat once that day, and wont starve if you only get to eat once on a busy day.
My dad has a whole bunch of those stored for a rainy day. They last for years, and they aren't even that bad. Imagine; the power goes out, and while everyone else is eating cold soup and veggies, you're eating like royalty.
If it you let students use the heating pad to cook their food. Everyone would enjoy school lunch...until some kid got burned due to the pad, and some water.
Except that kids would never be able to poop again. MREs have stool hardeners in them so that you don't get diarrhea in the field. A lot of us learn that the "hard" way.
Haha, you may not notice any difference from a single MRE depending on the rest of your diet. However, the more you eat the more constipated you get. Your shits become giant rocks that hurt to pass. Good times
"Food is probably one of the last things you're thinking about." Nope. Nope. All I ever did was think about food. I was only 130 pounds when I joined the army.
That's pretty much what I thought when she said that. I've never been in the forces but I know that when you're doing something tiring, food is king and I'm pretty sure that chow time is probably a high point in many a soldier's day.
It truly is. Sitting down with your squadmates and chowing down on an MRE made everything so much more bearable. When you're in basic training and AIT, they don't let you eat the sweets. You have to throw them away. So when we graduated and eventually went on FTX, eating MREs was so much fun, because we were finally able to eat the candy after we were done. I was 19 when I joined the Army. I was 6 feet tall and weighed 134 pounds. I went to Fort Leonard Wood for OSUT (I was an MP). It was 5 1/2 months straight, with no break in between, with the same platoon and same drill sergeants. When you went to chow, the moment your butt touches the seat, you have two minutes to eat as much as you can. But before you're allowed to eat, you have to first drink an entire glass of water, then turn your glass upside down on the table. Once they see that you've drank all the water, you're allowed to start eating. That time comes out of your 2 minutes. Then, at the end of the meal, they'll yell "20 seconds!". When they yell this, you have to stop eating and chug your second beverage. You can choose from water, milk, or Gatorade. When you subtract the time it usually takes to drink both beverages, you actually have about a minute and a half to eat. Constantly doing PT, running, pushups, pullups, front-back-go's, etc. in 100 degree weather, you burn a lot of calories. Needless to say, we never had enough to eat the entire time we were there. We were always hungry, and when we had down time to write letters home at night, we would all sit there and talk about how much we missed foods. For some reason, I craved peanut butter more than anything else, so I began putting it on my cereal in the mornings since it has a lot of calories and protein. The first day I came home from OSUT, I sat down to breakfast with my family and chugged my entire glass of milk, turned my cup upside down, then devoured all of my food in about 45 seconds. I then stacked all my dishes up, put my silverware on top, and reached for a second beverage. It was only then that I realized I wasn't in training anymore, and my family was looking at me like I was insane.
Chad Small Nice story, quite funny. I'm planning on joining the military next year at the age of 19. Are you still in the military, and if so, what branch?
When I was in Basic, in each of the MREs there was a little snack treat that varied with each one. The brownie was awesome, but man, THE holy grail of MREs was the peanut/peanut butter m&m's. I got a small bag of those once, and I offered to sell them for $20. My platoon leader immediately bought them, and they would often go for $20-$40. I got a bag of skittles once, it was nice. And of course, the best MRE of them all, yes, chicken with salsa. Also the worst of them all that everyone tried to avoid, the egg omelet.
Rachael Cathryn Usually $20, and these weren't normal sized bags either, but smaller. The only thing that came anywhere remotely close to real candy that we were able to buy were cough drops, and people bought whole bags of them...to eat like candy.
The real MRE food is... Disgusting. Those things are the worst thing to eat ever... Let's just say Ranch and Hotsauce (Mainly hot sauce) are literal life savers
It depends where you're stationed. Buddy of mine was deployed to South Italy and he said they were like a chef had prepared each one. The ones we got in Germany were good too, but the ones we got in Iraq were like the equivalent of eating old, wet dog food.
Amoechick MREs are actually designed to give you a good solid poop. You can't fight with a stomach ache and they kept that in mind when they developed them
My dad use to bring home MRE's from work. It was always fun for my siblings and me to pick one out of the box cluelessly and fix them, and eat. Randomly they'll put milkshake drinks in them, and I remember always hoping I'd get a milkshake in mine, but my mom got it most of the time.
My dad and I were at a national guard camp up in the mountains near where I live (he was a Sergeant, so he had to help train people at a repel school) and we are MRE's the whole 3 days we were there. They were actually pretty good, and I liked it a lot.
Wade Long Yeah. I like them too. My dad's retired now, but he use to take me to work with him at the guard when I was really little. I don't even remember what I did all day, but I remember that I always had fun. :P
Wade Long My dad told me once that the term is military brat. Well, actually, he called me a military brat, and I snapped around thinking, "What did he just call me!?" But then he explained that all kids with parents in the military are called military brats, and I settled down. Lol.
I remember eating some of these as a boy scout. One of mine came with a little tiny bottle of tabasco sauce, and I heard then that it was also known as watchman's eyedrops.
So? When the civil war ended the union wanted to play their song all throughout the night, battle hymn of the republic, but President Lincoln told them to play Dixieland instead. The unions soldiers hesitated and Lincoln told them " The war is over gentlemen, the south is part of the union again. We should not treat them poorly because they lost." So who cares if they play battle hymn of the republic or Dixieland, the south has been part of the United States since the Revolutionary War. Let's treat them like you would treat any other American. ( by the way in a Yankee)
I'm not a service member but I've eaten a few of these in the past and it was annoying to see them not know to use the damn things. They should've let them eat the laxative gum
The instructions are pictures on the heater bag itself. It was a little painful to watch. I wrote a letter once to the manufacturers in Indiana suggesting they provide sporks. A spoon really doesn't help with a beef patty.
I think this MRE might be fake because my dad got boxes of them from the military when he was still a trooper. they look a lot different than this. it came in a green plastic package and all of the packages in it were green. or mabye they changed it to this. idk but this does not look anything like the ones my dad got.
You want a humbling experience? Get an MRE, eat it cold, guess what, that's what most of our soldiers live on out in the field, and yes a lot of the time they don't have the time to use the heat pack.
When I was in ('91-'94) the heater was just being introduced. Cold MREs were the norm. Then we got heaters and it was like Christmas. Then the next two exercises we didn't get them and life was bad.
+Shawn Wilson I did my silver sets I'm a Canadian Army cadet and they fucked up the matches so we had to eat really cold nasty oatmeal and I hate oatmeal
Strawberries N' Lacerations I love that song! MCR FTW! Oh, well, now Mama, we're all gonna die Mama, we're all gonna die Stop asking me questions, I'd hate to see you cry Mama, we're all gonna die..... *continues to sing*
I've had it, and it's not that bad... It's bad, but, the goodies inside were normally good. Granola in blueberries with dehydrated milk is actually really good without water. But the barbecue pig rib. Now THAT was terrible
That's the best part of the MRE. For those who don't know, you are supposed to put something under it to keep it at an angle, and on the package it say "rock or something" and it's funny
Rapter1139 Except it is natural, it is a gene, and even other animals have shown homosexuality and bisexuality. Also, they haven't been excepted, because throughout history people have disliked people just because they are different, it's the main reason that african-americans have been mistreated in the past, and even today.
They need military members in these videos. A Soldier would show you how to eat these. 1. You need a team - trading is the best 2. Cheese and tabasco makes every meal better 3. Always have a knife
I could teach tghem how to eat them and Im only 13. My dad was in I the army for 13 years and sometimes thats all we could have for dinner cause thats all we could afford and they are free.
Ya'll peaple are so funny! My granddad served the military in world War two! Every time I went to his house he would buy these off line and we would all sit down and eat on that old wood floor, I miss those days. My grad dad is sadly gone now but the memory stays
+Where.Shadow. Horses.Run. Without him none of us would be here right now. You had a good relationship with him and right now he's up there eating the best MRE ever thinking of you .
Yup. My sister's (feminine hygiene product) of an ex-boyfriend left a spaghetti & meatballs one at my house. It's been in the back of the cupboard for ... six years, give or take.
Oh no! They are playing Dixie. That has a long history of racism, like the confederate battle flag. We must take this video down! Is the similar sort of sentiment I am hearing about the confederate battle flag now.
Dude I know how u feel. Im in the cadets and we have used 1 day rations before, some of the shit sucks. But usually for the the breakfast food is quite nice.
in the US MRE's you do not want to eat anything with cheese in it less, you don't wanna crap for a week. but most of them come with tabasco sause so ....that fixes most of the shitty mre's
When I'm in a firefight against ISIS and I've got bullets flying over my head, you bet I'd be more worried about finding cover and firing back than my next meal
Public schools are paid by taxes from your neighborhood so it's your parents job fault ( Still my school lunch is bad but at least we get papa johns every Friday we also have a salad bar with fresh fruits ) still it's about the taxes man
+CGaming As a veteran, I'll say from experience: usually they are. Some MREs are unusually bad, some school lunches are better than average, but generally MREs taste better. Shipboard food and base galley food, too. (Some base galleys are really quite good, though, like the one at NSA Naples in Italy.)

I was in the first gulf war back in 1990, the MREs we had back then were so bad that camels wouldn't eat them each MRE is 3000 calories or more, it's designed for 1 to give you enough calories to last a whole day
Lawl Mart A, no they're not B. I use the liked videos as a cue, like Netflix to see them later when I have the time and then, delete them when I watch them C. what difference does it make to you what I watch or not watch?
One of my buddies is a soldier and he often brings me MREs of different countries (he gets those during international trainings, soldiers apparently exchange MREs just to see what others eat) and I can tell you that I love these things. Feels like Christmas every single time I get to open a new one and the food is not always horrible. So far the best one was from Denmark, it had so many snacks and the main dish was actually pretty good. And those heating bags are always fun, I usually keep them and use as a party trick later, most people have never seen anything like this.
This is not a military MRE, military MRE's are better quality, have more items such as tabasco sauce, gum (the gum has a chemical that acts like a laxative) ect. And has a wider variety of food.
Phillip Hodges exactly I’m from Britain and I go to marine cadets and the army and that send us what we call ration packs and we use them for our times away and they are nothing like this they are just ones you can get from a camping shop
+Crypto 14 slavery played a part in in yes, but the reason the north wanted the south to stay was entirely because of money, Lincoln said himself that he didnt care about slaves.
+Jaylie Piatt they are, the mres we had at basic combat training were packaged differently and didnt have any of this stuff in them except for the main entre.
Next, try some WWII style rations. You will love your civilian life much more. Not enough? I wonder if you guys can get your hands on some Soviet Union style rations...
ImJustYourAverageGuy Nah man, they eat their fallen comrades. Just like they had to pick up the gun of their fallen comrades in front of them if they wanted to shoot something.
cynderfan2233 I'd honestly rather eat these than school food. Unless they actually cook instead of having the government funded lunches sent from a warehouse.
No. If you've ever been out in the middle of godforsaken nowhere and you have to eat them from six months straight... Oh boy trust me, you'll literally be shitting bricks. At least school food is digestible
Justin Du If you think American school food is digestible then that school where you got the information from must be loaded, with projectors and everything.
yarkshry I'm a teacher.I've taught in several schools in various counties. School food is as good as the county budget. When I taught in"R" county,the food sucked,lots of sheet pizza with cheese broccoli as a side. Try eating that three times a week. When I taught in "H" county,the food was really good. In fact, we had fried chicken every Wednesday. All the police,deputies,and troopers would come to the high schools on Wednesday for lunch. Where else could you get a leg and a wing,mashed potatoes,corn,blackeyed peas,and all the sweet tea you want for $2.25? Assuming the school just didn't let them eat for free. As an added attraction,Wednesday was also the safest day on campus,no gang banging bullshit that day.
william woods Wow cheese on the broccoli! You were living the life. Try plastic bag broccoli (which also looks like plastic), Plastic bag hamburger patties which you put into the buns but no tomatoes or lettuce included. Drown it in ketchup to give it flavor. Hot dogs that are all wrinkled and darkened. Mind you, this school wasn't in a poor area by any means.
xCaMpzZxChico Clearly you don't know you can change usernames, or that your IQ is so low that you choose to keep an equally dimwitted username. On a scale of 1-10 of you clearly being a butthurt 8 year old with no life, you're a negative G64.
My Dad use to bring these home every once in awhile I always hated the Rice and Beans ones but like i enjoyed all the other ones i remember there being a Spaghetti one. It came with a brownie.
I remember pizza, burritos, spaghetti and meatballs. Mac n cheese. Chili, rice and beans and some Brownie things. Powder foods that turn sweet. But thats all i remember ever.
***** my standard food is rice and vegetables sometime it could be noodle or steam bread, environment decide what kind of food I eat, general speaking, better life better food. if life turn worse food turn worse.
Hey guys, try this! : Step 1 : put honey in your left nostril. Step 2 : put pepper in your right nostril. ( any kind of pepper). Step 3 : put vinegar on your tongue. Step 4 : sneeze. Step 5 : watch the fireworks of blood! X_X
***** Wow......you life is very hard, why you take food go to school? we never take food go to somewhere, if we hungry we go to restaurant, cheap and delicious, many kinds of food
I live on a military base and they asked us to taste and review one for them because my dad works in public health to test to see if they were packaged right and it was sosoooooooo Good
I tried an MRE that was chicken stew and it was actually pretty good. You have to consider they have to have a way to get food to soldiers on the battlefield where electricity may not be available. I think if I was on a battlefield and was tired and hungry, this would be a pretty good meal. Oh yeah the one I had had a tiny bottle of tobasco sauce and a pack of skittles lol
Should try a British ration pack if you want to experience true hardship. I remember one meal was mushrooms in mushroom sauce. And I don't even like mushrooms! Saying that there was lucozade powder which when ingested without mixing with water gives you a buzz similar to taking crack. Good times..
Only thing that bothers me about this video is how poorly organized they are about their MRE container waste. Also, how they don't have food items sorted into organized piles.
My town and all towns around me had these delievered from the army in military transportation after Hurricane Sandy, because everything around us was destroyed (Including cars) and there wasn't much of a way to get food. Really are not bad, and the huge trucks, humvies (With turrets attachments, but the turrets weren't loaded), and massive amphibious vehicles were cool, but if my house wasn't totaled it would have been easier to enjoy.
Not to mention the cadets/soldiers roaming the streets with rifles checking houses... Pretty scary. Learned a lesson: Don't stare at them from your window, they get alarmed.
Delivering the same thing to be able to do with a new few years ago and it was will not be have to be the first time half the time things to do that it is would have been the best way for me and I my you have to a report by an amazing voice and the best way thing of beauty in a statement that the government has been mean to me about android phone and it is not the best thing to say it was the best thing to say it was the best way for a few years and it will take the best of all of them were a lot to be the first half of the year and a lot of people who are the only thing that would make me a lot of people.
You're exactly right... I live in long island. The martial law men were walking around the streets with rifles and some sort of transportation ( not sure what it was, lol ) and they were knocking on doors checking if everyone was ok. The helicopters also landed in my elementary school field too ( pretty awesome ). The whole experience was pretty awesome as scary as it was... The worst part of the time is when there were hearses driving around with bodies found in houses. A few people died because they left their generators inside and died from carbon monoxide poisoning... it was pretty brutal. I believe a few disabled men were also found dead on their beds because they had no family and couldn't do anything to get away from the storm :/.

Ali Gaming, it's a fucking true thing..
Ali Gaming we do.
I had a brain fart and for a second thought that, "UK" was a acronym for, "You know".
"Food is probably the last thing they think about."
It's actually one of the things we think about the most.
Lol
Yea but when you're out in the field the last thing you're thinking about is the quality. You're hungry af
Ay fuckin men ta that
Oh yeah man when your out in the field you just eat that MRE like a dog that hasn’t eaten in days but when there’s hot chow my lord everybody runs to get it
Yeah food and the jack shack
The only thing military in those meals were the entrées. All the other crap was just off the shelf of a store. Try this with real MREs and the results will be different. Plus the main problem is menu fatigue not bad food.
Unless you had to eat a cold veggie omelette in basic

Good stuff in MREs. Some nasty stuff too.
DONT eat the gum, some people say

MREs arent even that bad tho
iEat Crayons yea til you need to shit then youll think twice about eating them months on end
Microwave-A-Guys MAG lol yeah i guess but when you've been outfield for ages anything tastes good
Microwave-A-Guys MAG You guys don't even know how good you have it! We got to eat your MRE's for a field test and my god, I would love to eat those instead of what we get!
But you are right about the fact that when you need to shit, you'll regret it all... :P
"food is probably one of the last things your thinking about' nah I want my squidge when I'm in the field. A hungry solider isn't an effective soldier.
The look on their faces when you tell them they just ate 6000 calories... priceless.
i thought it was only 1200
Math Debator no, it's.................................OVER 9000!
Ive seen as low as 4200 and as high as about 7800... but the cereal in that one- worth it! They are made so if you arent doing anything then you only eat once that day, and wont starve if you only get to eat once on a busy day.
that's what you get if you eat 3 bags like that approximately
Compleeeeeeetely wrong. MREs don't have that many calories bud
My dad has a whole bunch of those stored for a rainy day. They last for years, and they aren't even that bad. Imagine; the power goes out, and while everyone else is eating cold soup and veggies, you're eating like royalty.
And they never go bad. Well, never like a twinkie. MRE's have an average shelf life of I believe 5 years.
Skyler Burnham Most MRE's are designed to last 10-11 years
When you're eating MRE's i'm eating snickers, cheetos and what not.
Robin MX Fair enough, but at least with MRE's you get a full meal *and* desert (which comes with it).
Lol what the hell.....you can have generator dumb dumb
salute to my dad hope he comes home safe this year
I wish your dad good luck :)
Good luck :)
thanks you guys he's been there for 15 years finally getting out
I hope your dad makes it back safely!
Good luck to your dad hope he comes home safe and sound
"Food is probably the last thing they are thinking of"
10/10 job on understanding young men...
Probably more nutritional that school meals.
If it you let students use the heating pad to cook their food.
Everyone would enjoy school lunch...until some kid got burned due to the pad, and some water.
Except that kids would never be able to poop again. MREs have stool hardeners in them so that you don't get diarrhea in the field. A lot of us learn that the "hard" way.
Wow. Really I did not know that.
How long does it take for it to come out. And do you need "assistance" for it come out?
Haha, you may not notice any difference from a single MRE depending on the rest of your diet. However, the more you eat the more constipated you get. Your shits become giant rocks that hurt to pass. Good times
This is true. MRE's are made to have ridiculous amounts of protein and other useful things. It is completely better than school meals.
"Food is probably one of the last things you're thinking about."
Nope. Nope. All I ever did was think about food. I was only 130 pounds when I joined the army.
in a war I think
That's pretty much what I thought when she said that. I've never been in the forces but I know that when you're doing something tiring, food is king and I'm pretty sure that chow time is probably a high point in many a soldier's day.
It truly is. Sitting down with your squadmates and chowing down on an MRE made everything so much more bearable.
When you're in basic training and AIT, they don't let you eat the sweets. You have to throw them away. So when we graduated and eventually went on FTX, eating MREs was so much fun, because we were finally able to eat the candy after we were done.
I was 19 when I joined the Army. I was 6 feet tall and weighed 134 pounds. I went to Fort Leonard Wood for OSUT (I was an MP). It was 5 1/2 months straight, with no break in between, with the same platoon and same drill sergeants. When you went to chow, the moment your butt touches the seat, you have two minutes to eat as much as you can. But before you're allowed to eat, you have to first drink an entire glass of water, then turn your glass upside down on the table. Once they see that you've drank all the water, you're allowed to start eating. That time comes out of your 2 minutes. Then, at the end of the meal, they'll yell "20 seconds!". When they yell this, you have to stop eating and chug your second beverage. You can choose from water, milk, or Gatorade.
When you subtract the time it usually takes to drink both beverages, you actually have about a minute and a half to eat.
Constantly doing PT, running, pushups, pullups, front-back-go's, etc. in 100 degree weather, you burn a lot of calories. Needless to say, we never had enough to eat the entire time we were there. We were always hungry, and when we had down time to write letters home at night, we would all sit there and talk about how much we missed foods. For some reason, I craved peanut butter more than anything else, so I began putting it on my cereal in the mornings since it has a lot of calories and protein.
The first day I came home from OSUT, I sat down to breakfast with my family and chugged my entire glass of milk, turned my cup upside down, then devoured all of my food in about 45 seconds. I then stacked all my dishes up, put my silverware on top, and reached for a second beverage. It was only then that I realized I wasn't in training anymore, and my family was looking at me like I was insane.
Chad Small Nice story, quite funny. I'm planning on joining the military next year at the age of 19. Are you still in the military, and if so, what branch?
No, I got out of the army in 2011.
When I was in Basic, in each of the MREs there was a little snack treat that varied with each one. The brownie was awesome, but man, THE holy grail of MREs was the peanut/peanut butter m&m's. I got a small bag of those once, and I offered to sell them for $20. My platoon leader immediately bought them, and they would often go for $20-$40. I got a bag of skittles once, it was nice.
And of course, the best MRE of them all, yes, chicken with salsa. Also the worst of them all that everyone tried to avoid, the egg omelet.
The egg omelet was soo bad, our platoon leader wouldn't let us eat them because some kid got food poising from it
Yuilen My dad use to give me some, ii remember having a pack of M&M's, guess i got a rare find.
How much do skittles go for?
Rachael Cathryn Usually $20, and these weren't normal sized bags either, but smaller. The only thing that came anywhere remotely close to real candy that we were able to buy were cough drops, and people bought whole bags of them...to eat like candy.
***** Army.
They were eating civilian MREs. They we not eating Military grade MREs....
WHAT
Military grade means virtually inedible
Kevin Luedecke rah
Yeah, if it's a "food gift" then it's civ relief
The real MRE food is... Disgusting. Those things are the worst thing to eat ever... Let's just say Ranch and Hotsauce (Mainly hot sauce) are literal life savers
still better than school lunch
+Astaries~* I got food poining from expired milk one time in the 2nd grade if that counts.
Jess Best Yeah so did I.
I don't get what's with Americans and bad school lunches stereotypes.
Mariam Nisar
Because Americans have nasty school lunches
Yea it is its good
MRE - Meal Rejected by the Enemy
Meals Refuse to Exit
I'd rather eat this than school lunches
Tbh, I have tried MREs during a Bush weekend and they are VERY good. ( Bush weekends are mandatory for the RCAC)
Aceofpilots rcac
Tennessee Bow-hunter Royal Canadian Air Cadets
You wouldn't feel this way if you actually had to live on MREs for any significant amount of time.
Max Grassy ikr
why is Dixie land playing in the back round
VJ Meade that's what I want to know as well
We all want to know that
Cuz it's an awesome song
VJ Meade we all want to know that.
They wish they were in dixiland...
So this is Military Lunchables. I'm impressed...
Lunchables never filled me up
Smack Dab
Those ones are fake. Real ones are better with some parts (cookies, peanut butter, even etc.)
MUMMMMM WHERE ARE MY MINI PIZZAS
Oh god, MREs.
Say goodbye to your digestive tract.
It depends where you're stationed. Buddy of mine was deployed to South Italy and he said they were like a chef had prepared each one. The ones we got in Germany were good too, but the ones we got in Iraq were like the equivalent of eating old, wet dog food.
They won't have a movement for at least 2 weeks
Amoechick MREs are actually designed to give you a good solid poop. You can't fight with a stomach ache and they kept that in mind when they developed them
+Amoechick I seriously like how real MRE's have toilet paper in them...
+Jonathan Mitsuda What goes in, must come out......hence, the TP.
My dad use to bring home MRE's from work. It was always fun for my siblings and me to pick one out of the box cluelessly and fix them, and eat. Randomly they'll put milkshake drinks in them, and I remember always hoping I'd get a milkshake in mine, but my mom got it most of the time.
My dad and I were at a national guard camp up in the mountains near where I live (he was a Sergeant, so he had to help train people at a repel school) and we are MRE's the whole 3 days we were there. They were actually pretty good, and I liked it a lot.
Wade Long Yeah. I like them too.
My dad's retired now, but he use to take me to work with him at the guard when I was really little. I don't even remember what I did all day, but I remember that I always had fun. :P
Kortlynn Tucker Same haha. Good for us military kids to run into one another, we gotta stick together :P
Wade Long My dad told me once that the term is military brat.
Well, actually, he called me a military brat, and I snapped around thinking, "What did he just call me!?" But then he explained that all kids with parents in the military are called military brats, and I settled down. Lol.
Kortlynn Tucker Haha I feel ya
"Is that what MRE stands for..."
"Why can't they just light a fire"
I remember eating some of these as a boy scout. One of mine came with a little tiny bottle of tabasco sauce, and I heard then that it was also known as watchman's eyedrops.
Ravaxr that would keep someone awake but they might compromise your position in their pain
does anyone else realize they're playing dixieland in the background... and this is BUZZFEED.
Exactly. A confederate song :/
Written by a yank though.
I don't think they opposed the confederate flag I think they just did a video on how southerners feel about it
Demi Heart I'm a northerner/yank and I really don't mind the flags or beliefs. I just hate the people who think we're still fighting the civil war.
So? When the civil war ended the union wanted to play their song all throughout the night, battle hymn of the republic, but President Lincoln told them to play Dixieland instead. The unions soldiers hesitated and Lincoln told them " The war is over gentlemen, the south is part of the union again. We should not treat them poorly because they lost." So who cares if they play battle hymn of the republic or Dixieland, the south has been part of the United States since the Revolutionary War. Let's treat them like you would treat any other American. ( by the way in a Yankee)
I know all my fellow vets were screaming 'slide it back in the box to heat it!' lol
I'm not a service member but I've eaten a few of these in the past and it was annoying to see them not know to use the damn things. They should've let them eat the laxative gum
DevelDogg48 the what?
Derrick Ford NEVER. EAT. THE. GUM.
i thought that too, i lived off them during the iraq and gulf wars
The instructions are pictures on the heater bag itself. It was a little painful to watch. I wrote a letter once to the manufacturers in Indiana suggesting they provide sporks. A spoon really doesn't help with a beef patty.
I think this MRE might be fake because my dad got boxes of them from the military when he was still a trooper. they look a lot different than this. it came in a green plastic package and all of the packages in it were green. or mabye they changed it to this. idk but this does not look anything like the ones my dad got.
wailing cactus45 Different time periods.
These aren't military grade MRE's on the video.
Is it weird that i want to try it now?
Nope totally going to the store tmrw to buy one
+Sam “General Nathan” Lesser walmart sells bundles of them online
No
Nope, I too would like to buy these off of amazon just to try them lol
no it's not weird
Heck, MREs are better than airplane food
Cinnamanster A YES
In cadets we would get them really hot and we never had those animal chocolate stuff. We got a soldier bar or a poptart if you were lucky
depends what plane you're on. Different planes have better meals than others.
youre flying the wrong plane
Cinnamanster A ANYTHING is better than airplane food xD
You want a humbling experience? Get an MRE, eat it cold, guess what, that's what most of our soldiers live on out in the field, and yes a lot of the time they don't have the time to use the heat pack.
Accurate asf
When I was in ('91-'94) the heater was just being introduced. Cold MREs were the norm. Then we got heaters and it was like Christmas. Then the next two exercises we didn't get them and life was bad.
+Shawn Wilson I did my silver sets I'm a Canadian Army cadet and they fucked up the matches so we had to eat really cold nasty oatmeal and I hate oatmeal
I'm eating also those of the civilian MREs LOL the ones we got we're not nearly as good as this
+Darkwolfpocco right
So you got Dixieland playing in the background
I had a buzzfeed ad before a buzzfeed video... There should be laws against this
Mama we all go to hell. I'm writing this letter, and wishing you well...
Mama we all go to hell...
Strawberries N' Lacerations
I love that song! MCR FTW!
Oh, well, now
Mama, we're all gonna die
Mama, we're all gonna die
Stop asking me questions, I'd hate to see you cry
Mama, we're all gonna die..... *continues to sing*
***** Dude. Omfg. Thank you so much for telling me to look up MSI... o.o Ilavvvv iitt!!!
***** x3
Give 'em Pork Sausage in Cream Gravy. Let them see what they're missing out on.
I've had it, and it's not that bad... It's bad, but, the goodies inside were normally good. Granola in blueberries with dehydrated milk is actually really good without water.
But the barbecue pig rib. Now THAT was terrible
wolf96781 Try it cold. I dare you.
Don Draper My personal favorite is Beef Taco 🌮
+Don Draper had to eat one cold before, for breakfast, worst thing ever
I refuse to eat that one. Absolutely disgusting
They forgot to give them the "rock or something".
That's the best part of the MRE. For those who don't know, you are supposed to put something under it to keep it at an angle, and on the package it say "rock or something" and it's funny
😂 nice
Exactly.
+David Dinh thought i was the only one that thought that was funny lol
check out Kiwi Dude's ration reviews....you'll get a kick out of them!
“You gotta go through Basic to get this open.” 😂😂
That's not what any us soldiers eat that's not a genuine MRE it's supposed say MRE on a brown packages with menu number and description
There is supposed to a flame less ration heater
These are so not real mre.s
+Morgan Walz that's a nice profile pic, too bad the flag is in the way
Yeah
Rapter1139 Except it is natural, it is a gene, and even other animals have shown homosexuality and bisexuality. Also, they haven't been excepted, because throughout history people have disliked people just because they are different, it's the main reason that african-americans have been mistreated in the past, and even today.
Now remember that Star Wars bread Rey had.
Me too!
There called quarters
They're called portions, actually.
It's actually called space yeast
They need military members in these videos. A Soldier would show you how to eat these.
1. You need a team - trading is the best
2. Cheese and tabasco makes every meal better
3. Always have a knife
Don't forget about the improvised recipes you can make with you buds.
Yassss!
+Z3RO's Channel i dont think they use those as much anymore but i could be wrong
I could teach tghem how to eat them and Im only 13. My dad was in I the army for 13 years and sometimes thats all we could have for dinner cause thats all we could afford and they are free.
I swear the tobasco you find in your ration pack is like Jesus just decided he was going to be a ledgend and grace you like mad.
Looks like that green background was a failed greenscreen...
KitKat067 I am seeing this profile pic everywhere what happend to me
Ya'll peaple are so funny! My granddad served the military in world War two! Every time I went to his house he would buy these off line and we would all sit down and eat on that old wood floor, I miss those days. My grad dad is sadly gone now but the memory stays
Well I thank your grandad for his service and sorry for your loss but who's funny the people in the comments or in the video?
L3thal Rammpancy Thanks
Haha isn't that cool? I mean he's gone and that's probably sad but at least you have really funny and nice memories of him
Yea
+Where.Shadow. Horses.Run. Without him none of us would be here right now. You had a good relationship with him and right now he's up there eating the best MRE ever thinking of you .
Best MRE's are Pork Spare Rib and Cheeseburger.
For real?
Well the Firey Joker was in the marines so he would in fact know
They come in different flavors?
Yup. My sister's (feminine hygiene product) of an ex-boyfriend left a spaghetti & meatballs one at my house. It's been in the back of the cupboard for ... six years, give or take.
MRE's are supposed to last 25 years of shelf life .
They played Dixie but didn't even give them hardtack? Get with it BuzzFeed!
***** I love that name
Ms Tsvanni same
Oh no! They are playing Dixie. That has a long history of racism, like the confederate battle flag. We must take this video down! Is the similar sort of sentiment I am hearing about the confederate battle flag now.
***** I'm pretty sure he was joking.
***** just messing around
They're playing Dixie in the background
Damn. I wish we had those in our school. They look so much more appetizing tbh.
Yeah...
ikr
+Lily Lujan lmao you have idea..
They cost a lot its like 30 bucks each
you dont know what your wishing for mate.. id take school food even pb and j any day over those
MRE = Meals Refusing to Exit
Theo Baudry MRE = Meals rejected by enemy
Theo Baudry but thats why we had the 2 chewing gums right??..to help us digest the food.
No it comes out in a blaze of glory
This is so true lol
In a British ration pack, one of the possible boil in the bags is a mushroom omelette. You do not want the momelette.YOU DO NOT WANT THE MOMELETTE!
Dude I know how u feel. Im in the cadets and we have used 1 day rations before, some of the shit sucks. But usually for the the breakfast food is quite nice.
in the US MRE's you do not want to eat anything with cheese in it less, you don't wanna crap for a week. but most of them come with tabasco sause so ....that fixes most of the shitty mre's
shaan imtiaz I personally enjoy them, I mean what beats squidge on a golden oat bar?
shaan imtiaz I was one of the unlucky ones and I got the Mushroom Omelette, it tasted like west mushroom and it was very watery.
The Chicken byriani is my personal favourite
I love the fact that they're playing Dixie in the back ground 😍 God bless Dixieland
Why the hell would food be the LAST thing on their mind...
They're more concerned about their and others safety. Of course food will be on their mind but they have priorities.
If you're in the military, you're priority isn't food.
Actually food is always in their mind
Good grub made all the difference, that why we like going to RAF bases because their food was better.
When I'm in a firefight against ISIS and I've got bullets flying over my head, you bet I'd be more worried about finding cover and firing back than my next meal
they need a soldier to show them how to make ranger cakes and to show them the importance of the Tabasco that usually comes included
Taelend Sauve Gordan Ramsay isnt a soldier yet.....
I've tried a MRE once and its not as bad as you think.
You never ate a Veggie Omelette .
i once tryd the omelette in after school army night it was like paper with poop
Jess Osborn the veggie omelette is what nightmares are made from!
i lived off MREs during the gulf war and iraq war
MRE's are very standard here in Louisiana for civilians because of hurricanes.
There wearing there helmets backwards
They're* n their*
Brian Huynh yep
They were wearing soviet ssh40 helmets and were eating MREs feom the usa like wha
Falke1100 and they were civilian and they wore the ssh40 backwards
Dude I thought hey were wearing old WW2 Italian or Yugoslavian helmets
Why do I feel like these are better than school lunches?
Public schools are paid by taxes from your neighborhood so it's your parents job fault ( Still my school lunch is bad but at least we get papa johns every Friday we also have a salad bar with fresh fruits ) still it's about the taxes man
Also I would try a MRE if I had one
+CGaming As a veteran, I'll say from experience: usually they are.
Some MREs are unusually bad, some school lunches are better than average, but generally MREs taste better. Shipboard food and base galley food, too. (Some base galleys are really quite good, though, like the one at NSA Naples in Italy.)

MREs totally are better than most school lunches, but keep in mind that they're also way more expensive than school lunches.
I was in the first gulf war back in 1990, the MREs we had back then were so bad that camels wouldn't eat them
each MRE is 3000 calories or more, it's designed for 1 to give you enough calories to last a whole day
Haha, you made my day with that comment.
Dude that's crazy!! That must have been harsh :(
they didn't even have the chemical heaters to cook them back them, most of the time, you ate them cold
Lawl Mart A, no they're not
B. I use the liked videos as a cue, like Netflix to see them later when I have the time and then, delete them when I watch them
C. what difference does it make to you what I watch or not watch?
Lawl Mart I don't get sarcasm, never have, never will
I have both parents in the military and me and my brother would always beg our parents to bring MREs home! Theyre fun to make and actually taste good!
+OhaiAlyssa lol
wow that's cool and lucky!😀
You can buy them on amazon now!!
One of my buddies is a soldier and he often brings me MREs of different countries (he gets those during international trainings, soldiers apparently exchange MREs just to see what others eat) and I can tell you that I love these things. Feels like Christmas every single time I get to open a new one and the food is not always horrible. So far the best one was from Denmark, it had so many snacks and the main dish was actually pretty good. And those heating bags are always fun, I usually keep them and use as a party trick later, most people have never seen anything like this.
They actually are good and easy to make
THANK YOU
Except there 2500 calories
Soooooooo why did snake hate it in mgs3
Too much MREs will cause hate and disgust for it
Agreed! Whenever my mom goes up to the base near us, I try to get some MREs from the commissary when we're up there.
This is not a military MRE, military MRE's are better quality, have more items such as tabasco sauce, gum (the gum has a chemical that acts like a laxative) ect. And has a wider variety of food.
+xLADIES MANx13 Exactly what I was thinking. I thought it might be because I've only seen European ones but idk
And sometimes M&Ms or the tuna one that has a Starkist tuna packet in it, those ones are the best.
And BURGERS!!!
Actually burgers are just in base :(
Canadian IMPs (Millitary Field Rations) Actually have hamburgers as an option that is pretty good, though the bun is like a rock as you might expect.
"Oh it that what MRE stands for?" God damn...
What the hell did you do go buy a survival pack from walmart? Give them real MREs from the military not store bought hiker MREs.
Phillip Hodges exactly I’m from Britain and I go to marine cadets and the army and that send us what we call ration packs and we use them for our times away and they are nothing like this they are just ones you can get from a camping shop
Maybe their American ones? I wouldn’t know
Phillip Hodges maybe they’re american ones?? i wouldn’t know.
paige snook no these defiantly aren’t American
true, this is sooo darn fake
MREs are better than school food. I tried them before. My teacher is going to be deployed in a couple months.
+TheFrostDragon621 So your Teacher is a Soldier on leave who's been your teacher for ages and is still in active service?
How is that possible?
+Henry Southall part time maybe?
Eh, probably Army Reserves if I think of it
At my school we call it prison food
+Harvey Hadley hehehe mine to. but i never eat lunch so im fine.
The background song is Dixie land, the national anthem of the Confederate States of America. Bet you didn't notice.
I feel that it is a misrepresentation of the united States when they use this song.
I feel like it is perfect considering that the song "Dixie" was used by the United States after the war as a marching cadence.
+Devin S I feel like it's not because it's not used anymore and also because the Confederacy lost and the United States of America won, get over it.
Grayson Grant It was the confederates viewpoints is mainly why the war happened, slavery being man viewpoint.
+Crypto 14 slavery played a part in in yes, but the reason the north wanted the south to stay was entirely because of money, Lincoln said himself that he didnt care about slaves.
don't eat the bread or the cheese. that'll stop you up for days.
SuperAlphamale13 thats the point
😷😷😷the bread melts its so gross
Jalapeño cheese spread is the best
Meals Refusing to Exit
SuperAlphamale13 I thought that's what the gum was for. Woosh!
0:42 "aww I don't even like coffee anyway" whaat!!
They don't even look like the real MREs
***** watch a review of a mre review
That's not a real more used by the United States military
They are not.
its unlawful to sell MRE's actually given out by the military, so this was probably all they could get ahold of.
This is the part inside of the brown plastic mre bag! The government does not make mres, companies do and then the military gets them.
These look like civilian MREs and not Military MREs.
+Jaylie Piatt they are, the mres we had at basic combat training were packaged differently and didnt have any of this stuff in them except for the main entre.
Yeah
+Jaylie Piatt The military Mres also have a badass spoon. I mean that thing will outlast you in a goddamn nuclear houlocast
Its cause they are
+Commander Lynx no they aren't, the military grade mres come in a light brown bag, not in a clear plastic one. They also have much more good in them
Next, try some WWII style rations. You will love your civilian life much more. Not enough? I wonder if you guys can get your hands on some Soviet Union style rations...
Or the Vietnam ones
WW1 rations are the worst I heard
Soviet Union ones? You mean air and the bullet off of your fallen comrade
ImJustYourAverageGuy Nah man, they eat their fallen comrades. Just like they had to pick up the gun of their fallen comrades in front of them if they wanted to shoot something.
Or a lightly salted dead baby
"The last thing on their mind would be food" wrong
MRES ARE GOOD! loved em in basic
thanks! and thats cuz they give u all the energy u need!
You would say that if they were your only meal for 4 month's strait.
Branch, if you don't mind me asking?
Army.
Alaina Dutill oh, ok
still better than school food......................
YOU. I LIKE YOU.
hell it's better than my moms food. MRE is basically heaven in a bag you put in another bag that heats it up.
lol
I would gladly eat a MRE every day than the lunches at my school. Someone wanna hook me up? lol
My schools cafeteria food is actually pretty good
From someone with actual military experience, there are 3 flavours of MRE.
Shit.
Shit
and Bacon (which is still shit).
cynderfan2233 I'd kick a baby for a jalopeno and cheese
cynderfan2233 I'd honestly rather eat these than school food. Unless they actually cook instead of having the government funded lunches sent from a warehouse.

cynderfan2233 You have nothing to prove.
Unless you get the pudding!!!!! Damn that was good pudding. Acts just like a laxative
Look away, look away in dixie!
XD that background song from the civil war
makes me wonder if military food is better than school food...
No. If you've ever been out in the middle of godforsaken nowhere and you have to eat them from six months straight... Oh boy trust me, you'll literally be shitting bricks. At least school food is digestible
nmcguireable Wat? How... Where... WHAT?! Okay, you're going to have to explain yourself on that one, unless your goal was to confuse and such.
Justin Du If you think American school food is digestible then that school where you got the information from must be loaded, with projectors and everything.
yarkshry I'm a teacher.I've taught in several schools in various counties. School food is as good as the county budget. When I taught in"R" county,the food sucked,lots of sheet pizza with cheese broccoli as a side. Try eating that three times a week. When I taught in "H" county,the food was really good. In fact, we had fried chicken every Wednesday. All the police,deputies,and troopers would come to the high schools on Wednesday for lunch. Where else could you get a leg and a wing,mashed potatoes,corn,blackeyed peas,and all the sweet tea you want for $2.25? Assuming the school just didn't let them eat for free. As an added attraction,Wednesday was also the safest day on campus,no gang banging bullshit that day.
william woods Wow cheese on the broccoli! You were living the life.
Try plastic bag broccoli (which also looks like plastic), Plastic bag hamburger patties which you put into the buns but no tomatoes or lettuce included. Drown it in ketchup to give it flavor. Hot dogs that are all wrinkled and darkened.
Mind you, this school wasn't in a poor area by any means.
I was raised by a military dad and ate mre's all the time
My fav. was one that came with peanut butter with bacon bits inside it

My Dad use to bring these home every once in awhile I always hated the Rice and Beans ones but like i enjoyed all the other ones i remember there being a Spaghetti one. It came with a brownie.
What did you guys eat in those?
I remember some powder foods.
I remember pizza, burritos, spaghetti and meatballs. Mac n cheese. Chili, rice and beans and some Brownie things. Powder foods that turn sweet. But thats all i remember ever.
***** my standard food is rice and vegetables sometime it could be noodle or steam bread, environment decide what kind of food I eat, general speaking, better life better food. if life turn worse food turn worse.
I LOVE RICE AND BEANS! Why americans seem to hate it more than latinos
I wish they served that good of food at my school.
Hey guys, try this! :

MRE's look like they taste better than school lunch
As a kid getting an MRE from my dad was like the best thing in the world...ravioli was my favorite
Yeah, I liked the ravioli one and the spaghetti one.
***** Wow......you life is very hard, why you take food go to school? we never take food go to somewhere, if we hungry we go to restaurant, cheap and delicious, many kinds of food
***** LOL that's so cute!!! I'm sorry!! but it must have been really great bringing it to school like the best gift ever.
I have had many MREs before and watching this made me laugh at how clueless they were
How?
It's buzzfeed. These people hardly know anything about what they're eating.
MRE's aren't actually that bad, their pretty good, just depends on who you are, speaking from experience.
And those are civilian MRE's, those aren't REAL MRE's.

I live on a military base and they asked us to taste and review one for them because my dad works in public health to test to see if they were packaged right and it was sosoooooooo Good
Same
I tried an MRE that was chicken stew and it was actually pretty good. You have to consider they have to have a way to get food to soldiers on the battlefield where electricity may not be available. I think if I was on a battlefield and was tired and hungry, this would be a pretty good meal. Oh yeah the one I had had a tiny bottle of tobasco sauce and a pack of skittles lol
STILL better than school cafeteria lunch.
0:56 Her: I'm sorry I opened this. Me:😂😂
Those look nothing like the MREs we eat.
I find it funny they think that this is all we eat, and our job is to kill. I chuckle a bit about it.
ThePraetor Chuckling is all we can really do about it sometimes.
Solaire of Astora sometimes u just have the urge to give a big ass explanation. But those are the things we need to just let it be.
ThePraetor Agreed.
There are MREs in Lordran? Good god times are hard.
They make those meals scientifically to make sure you are satisfied on Vitmans and hunger. I saw an old 50's MRE.

tyler89557 it's the military bro they need to dumb it down
tyler89557 if you Think you have Idiot proof somthing, a new and improved Idiot turns up.
Should try a British ration pack if you want to experience true hardship. I remember one meal was mushrooms in mushroom sauce. And I don't even like mushrooms! Saying that there was lucozade powder which when ingested without mixing with water gives you a buzz similar to taking crack. Good times..
And highly concentrated Tabasco sauce which is great for daring other people to drink! 😂
***** Ah that made for some good entertainment while out on a night ex. Some poor bugger downed the lot in one go. Would 100% recommend
You guys have my sympathies.. I have tried it.. disgusting.
Kaalo Lovett It's passable.. when you're starving
Il Valentino It's great for adding a bit of flavour to the lamb nevine for example ahahah but it's even better to watch someone else down it in one.
Playing "Dixie" in the background, nice touch...
Only thing that bothers me about this video is how poorly organized they are about their MRE container waste.
Also, how they don't have food items sorted into organized piles.
me. Agree :8:/
That bothers me when other cadets just leave their waste beside me!
OCD much?
aye if you mix everything in a mre and make like a slop its good af
We used to call it a chum bucket. Good as f tho.
My town and all towns around me had these delievered from the army in military transportation after Hurricane Sandy, because everything around us was destroyed (Including cars) and there wasn't much of a way to get food. Really are not bad, and the huge trucks, humvies (With turrets attachments, but the turrets weren't loaded), and massive amphibious vehicles were cool, but if my house wasn't totaled it would have been easier to enjoy.
Not to mention the cadets/soldiers roaming the streets with rifles checking houses... Pretty scary. Learned a lesson: Don't stare at them from your window, they get alarmed.
Delivering the same thing to be able to do with a new few years ago and it was will not be have to be the first time half the time things to do that it is would have been the best way for me and I my you have to a report by an amazing voice and the best way thing of beauty in a statement that the government has been mean to me about android phone and it is not the best thing to say it was the best thing to say it was the best way for a few years and it will take the best of all of them were a lot to be the first half of the year and a lot of people who are the only thing that would make me a lot of people.
The firemen gave us cheeseburgers and fries during Hurricane Sandy...
Was your whole town totaled?
You're exactly right... I live in long island. The martial law men were walking around the streets with rifles and some sort of transportation ( not sure what it was, lol ) and they were knocking on doors checking if everyone was ok. The helicopters also landed in my elementary school field too ( pretty awesome ). The whole experience was pretty awesome as scary as it was... The worst part of the time is when there were hearses driving around with bodies found in houses. A few people died because they left their generators inside and died from carbon monoxide poisoning... it was pretty brutal. I believe a few disabled men were also found dead on their beds because they had no family and couldn't do anything to get away from the storm :/.
It's so late at night and I watched too many tasty videos... I'd eat that in a heartbeat..
