MRE Review: APack Spaghetti with Meat Sauce from Ameriqual (2010) 

That icing idea is fantastic. Add more powder or water for texture and taste, and you're golden. Kudos to Gundog and you!

making the frosting is a brilliant idea! thanks for a great review :)

Thanks for doing these meal-by-meal reviews. I'm purchasing MREs for our family's emergency supplies and my 10-year-old is a somewhat picky eater. We know how important it is to keep kiddos feeling content and secure when the unexpected hits. So many thanks for teaching what's in each menu #. I'm now a subscriber!

when im eating these at school i say "time to gun dog it uup" and people just look at me like im stupid lol

I recently started watching your videos and I absolutely love them!! Made me buy myself the beef taco mre!!!

oh jeeze, i got serious ASMR when you were mixing the shake-frosting great vid as usual gshultz

Yooo, Congrats on almost 50k

Icing !! What an awesome idea.. Cool

I like putting some peanut butter on the cookie. just be sure to have the shake mix made because your going to need it!

That looks delicious as hell . Sign me up lol .

To "gundog" must now be an official term in the ration lexicon. And deservedly so! BTW, cocoa powder also makes a great icing. Adding coffee powder makes it the "high-test" version.

The salt is in the water packet because the salt acts as a catalyst (speeds up a chemical reaction) for the reaction between the iron and magnesium in the heating elements. The iron and magnesium will react with each... slowly... when they are both dry powders. Add in some salt and they will react a little faster...when they are both dry powders. Add in some water (into the salt, iron, magnesium dry powder mix) and the reaction occurs rapidly and you have an FRH. By keeping the salt out of the iron-magnesium mix until the last possible moment, the (almost) full chemical potential of the iron/magnesium reaction is saved until needed... my theory... which may be why the FRHs with the separate salt water packet react even when they are older than the FRHs that just need plain water added. The salt being in the reaction explains why throwing some salt into a FRH may make it cook off if it is a little stale/old... you've added more catalyst into the reaction.

I've watched you since I was 7im 9now I love your RU-vid channel bye

I usually listen/watch your videos while I'm working and for weeks I was thinking why does he call them 'Famous ration heater?' Only to now learn after glancing up and seeing the heater that it's 'FLAMELESS ration heater' haha

Great review, where do you buy your trays?

Sweet channel!

nice work Gman

really enjoyed this earned a sub! and a regular viewer and liker from now on

Good review

The Vanilla Dairyshake powder icing was a brilliant idea. :D

That was good thank you for the video.

what international ration that you reviewed weighed the most

They put salt water because they can't ship the regular flamless heaters by air only by land so they use the ones that can only be activated by salt water

I recently had a late 2013 dop genuine MRE and the original M&Ms didn't look half as good as those ones did. Most likely storage conditions but I'm confused everything else in the ration was still perfect.

Why is it all spaghetti and meat sauce now. What happens to spaghetti and meatballs? Not related to this video at all, just something I've notice over the last few years.

I wonder why they don't have the water pack in the genuine MRE.

if the beverage had sugar it would be quite a bit bigger. I think that's why you don't see more of those drink tubes with sugar commercially. Reduced packaging costs.

Where can you buy MREs? What website? I want to try it, or is it only for Military Purposes?

Awesome friend ! FRH worked great. Icing, drinks, looked good,. Entrée looks very good also friend. Great review. Peace, John, Magnum.

I watched a man named Kyle who is a BMT, he and his wife ate a few as a video. I followed that up by watching a series of these. He eats this very often it seems but didn't know as much or seem to be able to create his meal with as much ease or as quickly as you did. I found that quite odd, on a side note, are you ex-military?

Is it bad that my mothers spaghetti looks like this?

How many times do you get food poisoning a year?

Do most C/MRE's contain that much sugar content? 73 Grams seems like a lot. TX

Thanks for that review.

Why do you not own "a rock or something " the sell on Amazon cheap

Wow, making icing from the shake powder was different. :)

hey I have a totm of minestrone stew and I couldn't find any information on it do you know any thing about it

Where does one get mres. I have a few close army surplus stores near and i couldnt find it in the one i go to. Do i just need to look in the other stores or is there another place i can get them. I like the official mre the commercial ones just arent right to me after being so accustomed to the militaries.

Have you done a slovenian mre yet?

Why does this food look so good to me

where did you get it from

is their a possibility that a non military mre could go bad after 6 years but it's stored in normal conditions?

Pls where do u buy them from

It looks like A Pac forget the tabasco sauce or a packet of red pepper flakes. Other than that it looks like a pretty good meal.

What s great video, you just gained a subscriber!

I wanted to know how would I get a mre so I can start my channel and great video

I like this mre.

You eat that 3 times a day and you're gonna be an a diabetic coma.

That vanilla shake mix is almost like icing

This reminds me of the LRP menu no. 8

Okay this just pisses me off, I ate a bunch of Apacks back when i was doing "Guest Services" work during football and base ball games. they ALL HAD THE EXACT SAME ITEMS! They all had skittles, they all had corn nuts, they all had apple jam, and they all had oatmeal cookies!

Nice!

The SG on the entree pouch is the item code. It stands for "Spuh" and "Ghetti." I'm sure I'm right...😆

The salt water packet probably heats faster than the ordinary US flame less heaters!

That peanut butter ASMR

See, Problem is, The Newer (at least 2016) A-Pack Spaghetti has around 1010 calories and a healthy 104g of sugar. 104G!!!!

The military version of the lunchable. Lol

It looks like a lot of calories and shit, but be realistic. are you actually eating M&ms, an oatmeal cookie, and have a vanilla shake with a lemonaid? Like that is a lot of shit. I don't imagine eating/Drinking all of the sweet stuff together.

Spaghetti? It's army noodles with ketchup.

You’re definitely from central mass 🤔 I am too 😂

Am i the only one that feals hungry seeing this

Hello, my name is Toby, I am 13 and live in ar, those look very cool to eat and very interesting. It would be gladly appreciated if you could send me one, I would like to try it, take it for consideration. -Toby Pierce
