@@ChickenYale You can't sue someone for doing a video on the same subject as someone else. You can't "patent" such an idea any more than you can "patent" the idea of a game show or an action film.

@@ChickenYale that would be pretty petty to do. I dont think he should or even could patent it. Thats like if someone patented LetsPlays. You'd fuck overm everyone who does them even small youtubers.

Those golden Kraš chocolate bars take me back. I used to eat them all the time as a kid, they were everywhere and were very popular, Yugoslavian children would get them in candy gift packages for the holidays or as gifts from relatives when they were visiting... good times. Pretty good quality milk chocolate, too, in my opinion. Kraš (pronounced very similar to the English word "crush") still exists as a company in Croatia, where I live, it was founded in 1911, when Croatia was still in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. This particular survival kit would have been issued mere months before Yugoslavia broke apart and the Yugoslavian war started. These chocolates were issued to soldiers and civilians probably on all sides of that conflict in meal kits and I ate them during the war too.
One of my favorite subtle jokes in these videos is how Steve can casually read every single language on these MREs. It makes me smile. Well done, Mr. 1989.
The best part of Steve's reviews; his delivery. He shares the whole experience of flavour, texture, and smell, along the finer details of opening and consuming an MRE. The juxtaposition of a table-top style food review, on Military food is nothing less than top-tier entertaining.
I am Croatian. The language in the contents list is Croatian-Serbian/Serbian-Croatian(Yugoslavia's language from the 1970's onward. Franck was the biggest coffee maker in Yugoslavia and it still kept it's status with their HQ being in Zagreb. The chocolate is Kraš. It's the biggest candy/cookie/chocolate maker in Croatia. The Rondo candy is from Croatia and it was made in 1979.(best selling ("small" candy that you have home) candy in Croatia,but the Herbal Candy i have zero clue about it.
The chocolate bars were called "Zlatnih 8", The golden 8, and sold in stores in a package of 8 pieces in a box, they resembled golden bars. Now you can imagine how cool that was for a kid back then.. It says Kraš, spelled Krush , a Zagreb, Croatia, based candy factory.
