  • Today is a salute to service! In today's taste test we try military rations known as MRE's, or Meals Ready to Eat! These meals are "enjoyed" by our military service members when serving in the field, so they can't be that bad, right?

    Fun fact: that little pack of gum that's in each one is to help u poop from all of the calories and concentration of everything that makes u constipated. Especially that cheese and bread or crackers lol. And each MRE has your entire daily amount of calories in each one just in case that's the only meal u get that day

      @strawberrysoymilkshake Рік тому

      I was going to say, what are they supposed to do with all the nuts and cheese and bread... so that gum is like regular gum or does it have extra laxative properties to it? How the heck do you find a good balance between not constipated and not having diarrhoea? Oh my lord 😩😅😂

    • @urarmychick87
      @urarmychick87 Рік тому +1

      @@strawberrysoymilkshake the gum has extra something in it to help u not be constipated. MRE's are designed to be the only meal for the day with how many calories they have but 90% of the time that wasn't the only meal and the gum helped keep us from getting all blocked up lol

    We received MREs after Katrina and that's all I ate for weeks but the ones we got were so good with a lot of Cajun food,but my favorite was the beef stew.
    When we went back to look at the damage and because FEMA had messed up so bad during all of it and after they would force us to open our trunks and give MREs and water to us whether we wanted them or not we had to take them and I'm glad we did because every one I ever had was good.

      We got them after Hurricane Ike in Houston. We were without power for a couple weeks and would go to get free ice and water from the National Guard. We told them that was all we needed because we had food and a gas grill, but they gave MREs, too. We kept a couple packs and gave the rest to neighbors who had larger families to feed.

    When my son was stationed in Germany he was on patrol in Kozovo on Christmas Day. For dinner he was given a gumbo MRE. It made him gag. He was pretty upset that he was serving for his country and they didn’t even have descent food. The same US Army didn’t even bother to show up for his military funeral to do the 21 gun salute for him.

    I had to have 2 American MREs when I was on a mission's trip in Nepal. Neither were good and that's probably because in day to day life I don't eat junk foods, processed sugars, dairy, or gluten, even the little "treats" like m&ms or skittles were nasty to me. But others on my trip liked the MREs.

They are bigger and have alot more in them then the ones we got. We had beef stew which was very good. We would take what he got and stored them in case we ever needed them in an emergency. And in that case you can't be too picky. We actually had enough to last us at least 6 months and they last a very long time on the shelf.

    Since I was in the Army in 2006, heating up food usually takes 5 to 10 minutes. In boot camp, you could get MRE's or food comes. It do come with M&M's or other candies. Sometimes you have to mix up stuff you get in MRE's. It has about 1500 calories per MRE because your out in the field. There is a website that you can get MRE's or Army store.
