1942 US Army Field Ration D Review Emergency MRE Taste Test Eating Vintage Survival Chocolate

Check out this WW2 Field Ration D. An emergency "MRE" of sorts used by US soldiers during the war as a meal supplement or replacement. A 4 ounce chocolate bar with raw oat flour added to raise the melting temperature of the chocolate from 90 degrees Fahrenheit up to 120 degrees so it could be used in tropical climates. A notorious chocolate bar being knows as hardly edible even when hungry - so does it live up to the hype? Or is it really not all that bad? Find out, because I eat the whole thing. No stomach aches occurred after this video either. I must be getting used to this stuff. Huge thanks to RC Gusto for sending his Wrigley's box (with 2 of the 6 squares of chocolate still in it!) last year - I am donating that empty box along with my empty box, and two full ones to Zephyrhills Museum of Military History - a local museum near me. And thank you everyone for watching & subscribing - hope you enjoyed this one, as I certainly did making it! -Steve
