Hi, I'm Josh.
I'm Ollie.
And today we're going to be trying navy seal army rations.
This is what the navy seals eat?
Yeah, it is also what all American soldiers eat,
But navy seals eat the same rations as everyone else and it's a much better title.
They don't have elite ration packs?
I know I was thinking that and then I was like what are navy seals famous for?
Yeah.
And I thought they got big balls right?
They are the bravest of the brave they got the biggest balls.
Okay.
Out of all of the soldiers okay so I ordered the meatballs in honour of the seal ball.
Oh my gosh.
Warfighter recommended, warfighter tested, warfighter approved.
That's like from an alternate universe where soldier hasn't been invented,
It's like, how many warfighters in your army?
It says peelable seal, Ollie.
Yeah, I know but that's for people with navy seals muscles.
Okay, what have we got?
Is this gonna be one of those ones that heats up?
Meal ready to eat heater!
Hello!
Yes!
Chocolate chip cookie.
Italian breadstick!
Teriyaki beef stick!
Garlic mashed potatoes!
Hello!
That's better than most mashed potato available in the UK.
Well, don't speak too soon.
Can I just that's loud that's super loud.
Yeah, what's the point of having camouflage.
If you're sneaking around and you're like, I want to heat up some meatballs.
I don't think you get to have a hot mess if you're in a camouflage sneaky spy environment
I think this is just one at a time.
No, I believe.
You need some of that maybe seal can do attitude man.
That does not look like it's working at all.
It looks like you're breaking it.
No.
I can have cold mash, let's put the coffee in, shall we.
Okay, and should we put some creamer in?
Yeah okay, go on then.
This is quite fiddly.
Yeah man like how are you supposed to be
an effective warfighter if you're fiddling around with this.
All right give it a shake,
Look at that, slap that in there because look we don't want iced coffee.
Okay, fill it up.
Very bold letters it says do not overfill,
While we wait for that you know I like to have for a starter?
Cold uh mashed potato.
I prefer a cold teriyaki beef stick, wow that is!
It looks like a cigar.
Oh, can you hear this?
It's doing something.
It's boiling.
Is it actually?
It's hot.
That's a weird smell.
Yeah, it smells chemically.
It smells very chemically.
Look at that!
Oh my gosh, it's like a carnivorous twizzler.
I think it's gonna be fine.
Not dry at all!
Wow, how is that scientifically possible?
That is good.
The heck.
Wait, I want to put some cheese and jalapeno sauce on it.
That's not for me you can have that.
That's so much.
Yeah, not improved.
A giant paste.
It's not bad oh there's breadsticks, Italian breadsticks.
Italian breadsticks!
Wow, the entire nation of Italy,
Just left the chat.
Is furious right now.
How can you call that Italian?
Well, I would just agree with a navy seal.
If I were you Italians just be like, sure sure.
This is good.
What the Italian breadsticks and very American cheese spread.
It cant be, look at that breadstick I mean what on earth is going on there.
Oh actually smells good.
This is definitely heating up okay.
Cheese spread improves this.
I'm okay with that.
Oh, a bit of smoke.
You do feel less manly having no naked flames you know.
Yeah some of the other rations packs, risking your life with every meal.
Would I rather risk starvation, than potentially die by eating this?
This is hot to touch.
Yeah, man.
This is hot I feel like this is going to be good.
First thought, the balls are quite small.
The balls are small, the balls are smaller than I was expecting.
Those don't look like warfighter balls to me.
Glad we heated it up, go on then, or do you want me to get my own spoon.
It's not as hot as it could be.
I don't think we did the thing right.
No yeah, the sauce is hot and then the balls are like cold on the inside.
Doesn't taste that doesn't taste bad at all.
I mean I literally the only thing I was worrying about while eating that,
Was how hot it was like you said.
And if it was if it was proper piping hot I reckon that'd be quite nice.
Most of the rations you eat it and your first thought is, oh dear lord
how am I going to survive this.
What are you doing?
Look just cheese this is like a little bit of parmesan on that.
No x8.
That looks disgusting.
Try it.
Cold cheese spread.
No!
There's no way that works!
You just have to get over the visual.
It's good, right?
Right I mean the texture is awful.
But you're a warfighter you know.
Tomato actually kind of tastes fresh it's weird.
It tastes like fresh pasta sauce.
It does.
Oh, I'm disturbed by that now that you pointed that out.
Because that is not fresh that was probably made like two years ago, three years ago.
Is it out of date, because I've eaten a lot of these balls I've eaten so many balls?
Does that say 2015, oh man it turns out we are going to be warfighting in the toilet?
Our battle is yet to come.
It doesn't taste remotely off like even slightly.
You're getting straight up in there.
That is cold I don't think we did this right man.
Yeah, look there's so much steam coming out now I think we didn't wait long enough.
I'll put it back in.
We basically finished this meat I don't know we've ever done that.
I know oh wait we didn't actually have a garlic mash.
Cold garlic mash take a look at it
That does look like it went off in 2015.
Smells very garlicky.
Is that garlic that doesn't smell good man.
That smells like is that garlic or mould.
I think that is that out of date oh it's just falling apart.
That smells bad.
Try a bit. Just a little bit.
Its smells so bad ollie.
The most disturbing thing about it is that it just falls apart in your mouth.
I don't need to know that.
What look at that, it looks like a flipping Starbucks cookie.
Wow, I'm impressed.
Okay.
Very dry.
It tastes basically how you would expect a cookie designed to live forever that went out of date
seven years ago to taste.
The appearance, definitely overselling it, hard oversell.
I feel like I've just eaten like a hard plastic prop of a cookie.
You know like how some cookies you get they're good they're like really chewy on the inside.
Yeah.
This is definitely not that.
But some cookies some people prefer like a crumbly you know more hard type of cookie this is that.
Im starting to feel really sick.
Yeah, you had a big mouthful of the mash all right can I have some gum.
Wash it down with some coffee mate.
It's still really cold.
Yeah, iced coffee.
You have it.
Gosh, josh that is not how warfighters drink.
That just tastes like burnt instant coffee that's gone cold.
You know how I know this is definitely out of date,
I put that chewing gum in my mouth maybe a minute ago it is already,
Oh, why is it yellow?
Falling apart.
I really hope this cookie isn't mouldy now. Cos I've eaten a lot of it.
I did think I saw some mould on the bread.
Shut up, no that was that was garlic bread.
Don't say that now we had a lot of the bread with the cheese.
You feel more like a navy seal?
Oh so much!
So much I just want to go and frolic in the water with my buddies.
Is that what seals do?
You're an Idiot.
Considering that it was very likely out of date this whole thing,
those meatballs were incredibly good.
Yeah incredibly good imagine how good they are when they're in date.
I'd forgotten what it's like to eat MRE packs,
Yeah, we've just been eating Michelin star food.
Back to reality.
Well, that's been US MRE’s we tried them so you don't have to hopefully.
I guess unless you're in the navy seals
Well, there's a lot of us military.
All right.
See you guys jolly soon.
See you later.
