    I watch a stupid amount of ration review videos on YouTube and I honestly don't even know why since I have never in my life eaten one and never plan to... but here are some of my favorite channels reviewing the MRE Pizza:

    Steve1989MREInfo - check out his other videos, he regularly reviews (and sometimes eats) 50+ year old rations and even ate some Civil War era hardtack from 1863

    emmymadeinjapan - not strictly ration reviews, she has tons of other fun food and kitchen gadget related content

    gschultz9 - purely ration reviews

    RC Gusto - also purely ration reviews, but all proceeds from his channel go to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital

    EpicenterBryan - owner of a major emergency preparedness company that works closely with Mountain House, Bridgeford (company that makes official US military MREs, including this new pizza) and a bunch of other MRE/ration companies, so he often gets new products well before anyone else. He reviews said rations and also freeze dried food of his own creation.

      Steve1989MREinfo is amazing. I binged most all of his videos a few months back after seeing 1899-1902 British Emergency Ration Field Service Oldest MRE Beef Eaten Survival Food Review Test on reddit. It was a good night watching all of that.

        Alright, let's get this on to a tray. Nice. Yeah I love Steve too. His is the king of MRE reviews... and also clearly immune to botulism somehow. ;)

      Wow, you sent me down a crazy rabbit hole the last week. Never thought I would watch a man eat a 120+ year old condensed beef. I think I found a new youtube addiction.

        LOL, glad you enjoyed them. I have no idea why I enjoy them so much and keep watching them, but something about them just hits me right. They're soothing/relaxing in the weirdest way and a great way to wind down before bed.

    Sounds like one of the cooler jobs you could have (as long as you don't mind the aspect of being embedded in the military-industrial complex). Some good discussion on Hacker News as well,...

    Sounds like one of the cooler jobs you could have (as long as you don't mind the aspect of being embedded in the military-industrial complex).

    Some good discussion on Hacker News as well, including a few people who used to work at Natick.
