This video gets way funnier if you imagine this as lily and michael on a date and toast is the waiter.
Or a double date
@@braingoop fr
He’s the waiter if the waiter eats your food.
😂
Ah yes, a date in middle east,where they´re trying to eat an MRE with Scarra bleeding out next to them.
lily: these are 1500 calories each, i'm on a diet.
michael: well, soldiers aren't
Ah yes, what kind of solider would be on a diet /s
@@bextomoose The kind who eat one of this a day instead of 3.
@@spookyengie735 PTSD is the new diet fad among soldiers.
@@spookyengie735 You do realize that if they dont eat 3 they would litterally die of malnutrition.
@@whindmane612 i did, i ate the UN version of this for 9 months when i deployed in south sudan, it was made by a US company with the same source ingredients so it taste about the same. I literally couldn't shit for 4 days straight.
Probably a benefit since the toilet in our base was horrible.
Every time I see Miyoung interact with Toast she looks like she's in a hostage situation and on the verge of tears. lmao
ye.. hella cringe and bit annoying lol
They are dating
Toast: "we can buy it you cannot sell it, so we are not committing the crime"
Mykull: "its like buying drugs"
Both: "yeah"
Yvonne behind the cam: "wait what, guys?"
*falls out of chair*
I thought he said: it's like Minecraft
The argument that convonces Lily that it's not illegal: Markiplier did it xD
Nono, the argument is that he didn't go to jail for that
Markiplier fan here
Markiplier did it and he bought three versions of it. Korean, American, and Russian
@@MiniMC546 and the Russian one could've killed him! It was a wonderful video
@@bextomoose the russian ones are normally the ones people buy, like if they cant find a person selling them in their country
As someone in the military, all of this is indeed accurate. They picked like the worst ones but the first time I had to eat one I couldn’t figure out the whole heating system and ate it cold😂😂
Tbf heating food induces steam so it’s mostly better to eat it cold
@@hotaru25189 see that wasn’t my issue. My issue, upon further inspection, was that mine was 2 years expired😂😂
@@hotaru25189 the food yes but the heating elements, at least from my experience, no lol
you always gotta put the salt in the heater to make it work better
Chili Mac is where its at
the cappuccino that ya’ll thought was good (or “not bad”) is sometimes used to barter along with other commodities ;). when youre starving in the middle of nowhere, “not bad” goes to “this taste friggin amazing” quickly!
That's for sure but I've fought guys for the cheese😂
I once wrestled on of my marines for the French Vanilla Cappuccino
The tuna MREs are a fan favorite because they have Reese's Pieces and I believe a cinnamon roll. They also happen to be the only MRE that taste decent cold, so you can use your heating packet as a hand warmer instead.
The chicken chunks with buffalo sauce also slap.
definitely chili mac as the fan favorite. And all vegetarian ones cuz the sides usually slaps.
@@DaddyYatty the sides slaps? Damn, what a violent sides
I like how they read the directions for the lemonade to put it into a water bottle and shake it but instead use a third of the water into a cup and wonder why its strong.
" *One* water bottle"
_pours 1/3 of the bottle and all the powder into a plastic cup and is surprised it's strong_
Well she did also not realize that a mint or gum is used after meals to freshen up, so I assumed we weren’t dealing with the brightest crowd haha.
"DO NOT OVERFILL" pours half the bottle in there, could have exploded. good shit
Lily treats the MRE like it was a bag of cocaine
Lmao that’s true
A bag of KO-KAAAAA-EEEEN
KOKAINUM
Lily: gently bites
Michael: nearly bites off spoon.
He literally wouldn't be able to they are strong as shit and have a confirmed kill
@@brachslap shut up lmfao 💀
@@brachslapyou underestimate the powers Michael Reeves contain
I love how Mike just "I'm a Soldier today!!" and attacks the MRE with absolute gusto and dives right in. That's the spirit man!
Toast is really enjoying this MRE while as for Miyoung, She is questioning why she is friend with Toast.
they're not friends. It's more like a terrorist and hostage kind of situation.
The only thing he needs is content and he knows people likes miyoungs suffering
@@TheZoragon Lol xD
The only thing that needs questioning is miyoung's pizza.
Nah she is the gf
I like how they simulating the situation and the ask "how would you heat your water" when they have the HEATING unit right next to them HEATING their food LMAO
I mean they state on the packs "Do not drink the water remaining in the bag or use it in food items." so you'd have to separately heat some other water.
@@skycityskate4536 standard mre come with a separate drink pouch so you can fill that and put it with the heater.
@@Biethir going to be honest, never occurred to me. I'm pretty impartial to most hot drinks though. However makes sense! The more you know 🌈
Most of the time we throw those heaters out, takes too long.
We never got to use the heaters in basic🤣 cold meals all day
Everytime I feel anxious or I'm having a hard day, I watch whatever video of OTV people doing whatever, and slowly calm down and relax. For real. Thank you so much guys.
From my experience, in my time in military practice, everything I ate and drinked tasted way better than they would in a normal life. Even bad consumables weren't that bad at a military time. Because the life style there is so radically different, the taste buds changes little bit as well.
You learn to appreciate little things more when going through tough times I guess
I like how Michael is so chaotic that no one mentions the fact he literally bit a water bottle cap off (ik those types of bottles are cheap plastic and its not that difficult to do that but still.)
Searched the comments for this. Was not disappointed. 👍
At first I thought he was just going to twist the cap off with his teeth, so I was completely thrown off guard when he straight chomped that cap right off xDDD
wow so haha chaotic funny
@@HeatherGermaine dljb , . ,,. ., , .. .
@@HeatherGermaine dljb , . ,,. ., , .. .
They really aren't that bad for the most part, especially since generally you're pretty hungry when you're eating them.
that's the key. the more hungry you are the better they taste.
well it'd be bad for the soldiers if they tasted bad and if you're starving they might as well taste like a michelin star meal
@@toad7395 some taste terrible a few menus are so bad in basic everyone would avoid them so much we had case after case of them build up til that was the only menu left
@@toad7395 tell it to idf soldiers. Some stuff should never be caned.
Some of them are acting like straight up children in this. Like... The food isn't going to kill you. This was slightly frustrating to watch if anything but that's probably just me.
These bring up a lot of memories. Also really good for long trips or camping. Use to have one in my emergency roadside kit in case I ended up stuck somewhere in the winter, I'd at least have a meal to get me by. A lot of the meats you can get through with a little hot sauce.
The 'snack bread' with the cheese is a slam dunk
I love this I hope he actually does have more MREs coming
Fun facts: the spoon in the American mre actually has a confirmed kill
edit: mom look im famous :D
Lmao, what
IS THIS REAL
Most American things I heard in a while..
Looked it up. It's real. At the Haditha Dam in Iraq, a group of rangers went into a building, not knowing there were 4 enemy hostiles. Engaging in gunfire, all but 1 enemy died who was trying to pull a pin off their grenade. This 1 guy rushed at the enemy before they could do that, and engaged in hand to hand combat, but couldn't get his knife due to his military gear being in the way. And so he grabbed the 1st thing he could get his hands on: his MRE spoon, and used it as a weapon to stabbed the last hostile in the neck until he died. Pretty badass
@@angellowy this is especially hilarious because Markiplier noted how the American spoon was much stronger compared to the Korean and Russian MRE spoons, and I'm pretty sure he litterally made a joke about being able to use the spoon to kill someone
Michaels willingness to try eating anything and actually go back and continue eating, are his Filipino genes taking over😂
Virgin lunch meat eater
Chad spam enjoyer
@@JohnSmith-ox3gy God Tenderjucy Lover
@@aaeve5676 hahahahaha
@@juanvictorz.escanilla1265 dog what?!
filipino genes overrun everything
i love how there's a scenario for each part of the meal
As someone who’s is currently in the military I have to say I appreciate you guys eating these the tuna and goulash are hands down the best MREs though
my dad is in the navy so he gets mre bags and brings them home for dinner every two days of the week. they are actually really good. my favortite is the korean mre's.
Jolly channel been testing different country mre, korean and france were the best according to them
Yeah that's why I hate other girls reaction it's like she's eating gross food. It's good really good
Can I have one lol
One of my favorite things to do with MREs is try and figure out how they expected you to combine items and then do the exact opposite
Put the goulash between the bread then mix the pb jam and applesauce like a dip
nah the best part of mres is you and the boys treating them like trading pokemon cards and trying to convince someone to trade you for something you want
@@FizzleIsGaming Jalapeno cheese is not worth my sour skittles.
@@FizzleIsGaming Considering that I had to eat all meals of the day for two weeks as MRE's that's exactly what happened.
This is American problem..my friends in the idf littrlay need to sort what you can it, whats should never been a caned food. And what is an improvised biochemical claymore
i needed this
I love how Michael picked up on the rock or something joke so quickly. I'm glad I found this video. Coming from the army this video made me really happy
I have so many stories with MREs.
Imagine you're just a soldier in the middle of a war and just finished eating your MRE(except for the gum), then you realize you have bad breath and ate the gum, thinking it was mint flavored and you suddenly get ambushed, but the laxatives kick in and you're just running away or shooting while shitting your pants lmao
FYI it’s not a laxative I’ve ran multiple tests on this 😂
It's a laxative the way *all* sugarfree gum is a mild laxative... there's a reason they only give them 2 pieces of gum in an MRE instead of a whole pack like you'd get at the grocery store. I remember learning this the hard way as a kid when my mom was like "oh sugarfree gum this is healthier"... now most of the time you actually can't get normal gum with sugar. :(
@@atx_recon Xylitol is mild laxative, if you eat like a dozen of those gums it starts to show. It's a misconception that they are deliberately laced with laxative. Xylitol helps to prevent tooth decay as the bacteria in your teeth treat it like it is sugar but can not use it.
It's not a laxative, MREs actually gum you up. When you're in the field you don't want to have to be going to the bathroom a lot and you definitely don't want to be making a mess because your're limited on hygiene products
its just to clean your teeth bro
12:04 As a Southeast Asian it triggers me when people don't completely empty their food packets, whether it's ketchup packets, drink packets or stuff like that, I will get every last drop out of it before throwing it away. Maybe this is why I love Michael
I'm not asian but i relate completely
not asian but i absolutely agree, its infuriating when ppl dont utilize the whole thing.
I am agreeing to this statement as a South Asian
I’m Chinese and if I don’t eat everything on my plate or that I’m given my parents give me so much shit. 100% agree
I relate to this because I have been in extreme poverty before.
Like...you don't waste food. Even if it's not the best food, you don't waste food.
I remember SteveMRE from this
20:15 when toast said "alright, lets go ahead and get that out on a tray here" i know he watches him
Fun Fact: The heating system is an exothermic reaction with water and specific types of salt (Forgot which ones) to produce heat energy. It's related to calorimetry I'm pretty sure. It's actually such a cool idea and is used in instant hotpots as well.
If you see toast happy in a kitchen setting you can garuntee miyoung is going to get dragged into eating something she didn't want to lol
I’m from a small island in the Micronesia and there was this time when a really bad typhoon hit our island, so the people who no longer had homes got a lot of help from some people named FEMA. My and my family were one to be effected by the typhoon and how the FEMA helped was by giving out temporary tents, beds and other stuff in a huge storage bin, one of the things that was in the bin was loads of MREs and me and my family ate MREs for a while.
Saipan or Tinian?
@@iwannadie9665 Saipan... how did you know where exactly?
@@eturtle1417 Cause I live here on Saipan… My dad would bring home MREs all the time (he’s in the 100th battalion, 442nd infantry)
@@iwannadie9665 As a way of approval tell the name of the most previous super typhoon
@@eturtle1417 Tbh I forgot but I swear on god’s green earth I am telling the truth
Your closing outro is hilarious !
tbh, bringing these when you go camping is amazing, cause it's quick, moderately delicious and cause i'm lazy to cook stuff
Toast out here giving food reviews a different twist. Its very entertaining to watch
that's a 20100 iq play right there
@@TheZoragon Toast out there making high IQ moves even after among us
@@JamesRNG30 yeah and us talking to each other? that's his 202000 iq move.
Even as a veteran, I still buy MRE's. Some of them are actually really good, and I use them for when I go camping/hiking. They're really convenient, albeit sometimes a bit pricey.
which ones do you recommend
As a Boy Scout who has used them on survival campouts, MRE’s are delicious. 9/10 camp food
@@mtrambo8670 personally one's i looked for were the south west beans maple pork sausage or beef in spaghetti sauce. Though everyone has their own tastes
I do as well. Whenever I see a Box B go on sale for under $100, I'll pick it up. 12 full meals for under $10 apiece isn't a bad price, especially since they have actual good nutritional value.
i miss the good ol days when they gave you cigarettes and amphetamine pills(adderral) or chocolate with meth in it
Michael being in a generally tame mood for the whole of this... Feels... New
I remember eating these when like hurricane hit and my family went back home! There was no water and no air conditioning! Then they were people who came to your door with a box of MRE! It was actually kinda good! My sibling would always fight over the candy that came in MRE. It was like an expirement! It was so fun!
military school: 3 days old cooked lentil and other dog food stuff that you wouldn't serve in a prison
military mre: actual delicious food (although i watched with pain as you ate it cold, they give you heating units and sometime even pellets to start your own fire)
Every single MRE video someone goes "It says ROCK OR SOMETHING" lol my favorite thing to hear.
i love the subtle overcooked music in the background
It's been almost a decade since I was in the military, but I distinctly remember the heating bag did have instructions to put your food pouch inside before closing it and leaning it.
"Patriotic Sugar Cookies!"
Toast: I'm Canadian
Love how Michael opens everything with his mouth lol
and that's how you spot a filipino
even opening the water bottle that caught me off guard
i ate MRE's for fun for a week and the best part was the stew{when its warm} and the cookies/poptarts you get.
The FSR MREs was the best when I was in, they was just full of like candy and snacks like pretzels and beef jerky, peanuts and little sandwiches and stuff you could eat fast and on the move and still get a good amount of calories because those are the rations you get in front line combat or special operations, I always liked them more then the normal MREs except for the chili mac one which is the best and the meatballs and marinara which is also exceptional
I like how the lemonade instruction said to mix with 2 bottled water and they used an 8oz cup.
Alternative title: Toast bribes couple with food to make them stream for him then turn them into his own army and monopolize the world whole
tip for the Southwest beef and black beans, the meal goes into the heating pouch, also if you add salt to the water in the pouch it heats the water faster. Lastly put the cheese spread in between the pouch and cardboard cover so cheese melts and can be easily spread on the tortilla.
Toast and Michael are the duo we didn't deserve but needed
3:29
When my (maternal, for the 0 people asking) grandfather gave us some MREs, my mom was reading the instructions and pointed out that it said to lean it against a "rock or something", and we laughed about it. I have since seen this and Markiplier's videos on MREs, and both videos have also pointed that out, and it makes me smile.
Edit: Just showed my mom. She laughed
*HULSAM* story right here
"To America"
"Wait, you're Canadian"
LMAO
Honestly...these things look way better than some of my school lunches and like they're actually filling too XD
I love how happy Toast is the whole vid😂
they need the full bmt experience to truly “enjoy” these mres. need more people yelling in the background at you to get the full experience. best mres are the spaghetti and meatballs one and the hashbrown with bacon one. so good.
I like the mac and cheese one
People yelling at you to hurry up, and also only having 15 minutes to prepare and eat it... Although, you can't eat everything in that amount of time if you want to heat it up.
@@flame623 The food explodes into your mouth.
Toast and michael is a great combo of content.
Toast make a idea of content, then michael make the content interesting and funny
I'm glad that the dudes actually seem willing to eat the stuff
Why is literally everything that Michael says pure comedy gold
I think this is the only food stream that our “food loving” Lily wasn’t eating much? :p
Reading this suddenly reminded me of the hot tub stream...
@@WanderTheNomad have you seen the korean pork ribs mukbang? 😂😂
Michael called her a "fat ugly bitch" the other day so shes really self concious about her weight and doesnt want to eat too much =(
@@SoyDrinker I'm hope you're just joking
@@wongcayven9893 I’m sure Michael didn’t mean it, but she’s dieting right now. And from what I’ve seen recently (though this is only speculation) she is hard dieting.
This is actually super cool, I graduated basic for the army 2 weeks ago and I just had those for so long. Tuna is definitely the best followed by beef stew
Stfu fuzzy, you know damn well it's pizza or Asian beef strips
Lemon tuna, pizza, and asian beef strips, and the chicken noodle soup one (i forgot what its called) are the only S tier ones
@@Sybur02 extremely respectable choices fellow jason.
Nope definitely beef stew always comes with sour skittles
yall got to choose from them?
We had this bag with some bread pieces, butter, uncooked food bag some mexican beef and protein drink.
Wow watching the end part of the video made me feel like buying an MRE and enjoying it bcuz it was a positive review
Mres make for a great review, cheers mate 🇨🇰
I just love how Miyoung constantly looks like she's in pain and scared, but it's just how she looks, i probably would annoy her with constantly asking if she's fine. She's adorable.
Lol I thought that too
Omg, i love this😂 I’ve had countless MRE’s and watching them try to heat the food had me dying 😂😂🤣
i had this back in 2016 i dont remember what it contains but it has biscuits on it and it's so good it's better than what my sister can cook, my uncle gave it to me (he's a lieutenant in army reserve) when they took a vacation here in Philippines
love the overcooked music
I love how the girls look like they are hostages and toast and michael are good guys
my favorite will always be marinara and meatballs & strawberry powder drink, yummy!!
Love how lily looks so concerned at the beginning
Lol, I like how the girls each suffer through it, but take great joy in watching others suffer in turn. It's a great dynamic
i like how Micheal opens everything with his mouth
13:35 "Just a little bit.. or the whole bag" Michael is fucking hilarious
All of them had such low expectations from the entire MRE that they ended up being surprised
micheal said he wanted to eat it every day, as someone who had only mres for almost a full year because of covid at AIT for the army, i can confirm it sucks very fast. but i was like him when i first started eating them, like thought they are pretty good who would hate this, a year later of having them for breakfastlunch and dinner, no
Michael is spot on about the gum. I'm pretty sure it's sweetened with xylitol, which some people have a reaction to
issa myth 😅
@@supparkkimchi its based in fact. It's a sugar free gum and the particular sweetener it uses can cause stomach problems for some people but not everyone. Pain, bloating, etc. Diarrhea is one of those possible side effects of xylitol, which figuring out would take 2 seconds of googling with the info from my first comment
Oh my god 😂this is the content that I want this is my lifeblood
The music from overcooked is a nice touch
I used to be in air cadets and we had to eat MREs when we went on Field Training Exercises (basically camping and learning military stuff) and we used to use the cheese as glue because it would stick to anything.
Also, MRE's are pretty much the opposite of a laxative, theyre supposed to make you not need to go to the washroom, because who would wanna be in combat and need to poop
I love how everyone I watch that reviews MREs laughs at the "Rock or Something"
Toast is funny indeed.. Also when he ate the toast he looks like a manhwa character
isn't that cannibalism?
@@TheZoragon what?
@@shizuko.1842 y'know cause Toast is eating well, toast
@@mabellebulanadi8671 this guy gets it
The outro was great
the refusal of using the tear here lines is so funny to me haha
Toast, u should do more MRE videos, there are so many from other country too, u should try that..
The gum is a caffeine gum, so u chew it and it helps wake u up or helps u stay up. Also just a little tip: the food packet goes into the heating bag and then you seal it, not outside. 😄
Fun fact the US army MRE spoon has a single confirmed kill.
Jesus
lets get this out onto a tray, nice!
Now that Lily had mentioned it, I would hope that they would try and eat Balut tho, I mean I personally like it, I just want to see their reactions LOL
ugh, they got the ones i'd never pick.. i always go for the chili mac or beef stew.. the cheese tortellini is pretty good too.. MRE's have gotten better in some aspects since I joined the Army 17 years ago, but I don't recall any of them being instant throw away's when I joined. Some of them now are absolutely disgusting. I hate the tortillas.
Yea they picked some pretty terrible ones, only one I’d say is good out those is the Tuna chunks, but chili Mac & beef stew, pretty good just had chili Mac this morning 😂
the chili is top tier
Vomlets were instantly thrown away or used for punishments they were that bad.
Vegetable omelette
FINALLY IM NOT ALONE WHO HATE THE TORTILLA
ok that outro was fn hilarious
As soon as the camera goes away from the whispers toast tunes around and look at the camera a seems like he’s gonna hay “ahem, evening gentlemen”
The best part was edited out where Toast asked Miyoung to go back to Cuba 😂
toast and miyoung matching outfits 🧍🏻
For the coffee, you gotta squeeze it while it's in the bag to get the powder mixed properly
you are eating the newer slightly better versions of MRE's, the ones I had when I was in many long years ago didn't come with the heater, and were lucky to see one, so we had to get creative when we heated them up, sometimes even using the small bottle of tabasco just to give the illusion of being hot. many times, heat them on the exhaust of a truck or the engine block. some of them had a chocolate covered cookie that we called a track pad and taste about like one as well.
The 15 hundo calories are also for 24h so an active combatant wont get enough from one anyway. You aren't supposed to chow down the whole thing in one sitting, unless that is your thing.
actually in combat environments you generally eat 2 of those mres per 24 hrs and optimal is to include 1 hot meal (fresh food, when possible) and they are made for you to eat in one sitting, tho many of us save some of the snack items for when pulling security or on the move. you may be thinking of the day packs which is not what they have here and those have 2 main entrees and bunch of snacks (more then the 1500 they read) and you eat over the course of a day.
@@Biethir That one was a 24 hour pack. I dunno what your definition for a day pack is but I consider 24h "a day". Either way I agree that you should eat two when actively out and about but these aren't meant to sustain you for long periods of time anyway.
Also how can you seriously advocate for eating 15 hundo calories in one sitting? That's like stuffing your face with an entire wedding cake.
@@ruukinen Not really, 1500 calories is alot but the serving size of the whole meal looks just slightly larger than my usual lunch. The goulash one is kinda just a bowl of stew with a thicc sandwich, some cookies and a chocolate protein shake. Not really much if you consider they are for soldiers.
@@wongcayven9893 The food is just real dense. It makes you chug down a lot of water. I mean 1500 calories in one sitting is a family size pizza. Sure it's absolutely possible to eat that much but you aren't really combat capable after eating that much in one sitting.
@@ruukinen just wanted to point out that the rations in this video are all individual meals and not 24hr rations. If you were referring to the pack that had "24" written on it, that means its menu 24.
It’s quite entertaining to watch them calmly figure out how to cook the food while all I remember is a whole lot of yelling when I was handed a tan bag.
dude the southwest beef and black beans is fire in the field. especially if you have the time to heat them up. it is my go to as well as the meatballs in sweet marinara sauce
21:52 the low pitched chair slide noise sounds like the first note of the ominous troll music
