>and German chocolate was laced with meth
That's a myth.
Pervitin/meth was nicknamed Panzer/Flegerschokolade, but it was jsut simple pills. Actual chocolate had none in it, Scho-Ka-Cola jsut has coffee powder and cola nut extract mixed in.
I dunno man, I remember that Steve1989 vid where he ate actual WW2 schokakola and the dude was absolutely shaking after and he's no stranger to caffeine.
Though I've always wondered, like Steve has gotten plenty of Vietnam and Korean survival shit that had dextro-amphetamine pills in them and although he says he would never take 70+ year old pills, I wonder how effective those old pills are.
Can't find anything liek that on his channel. Only an early 60's West German survival ration.
In any case, it's really easy to underestimate Scho Ka Kola. It has A LOT of caffeine in it. Like, a full tin is about equal to downing 2-3 cans of Red Bull or Monster.

can't you get equivalent chocolate treats today? i've seen these in the store in big bags of squares and it says every 2 squares are about a cup of coffee, but one square is only like 3g so they can't be very big

People here and in the comments section are always making fun of that, saying it's because he has nerve damage and palsies from eating so much expired food from rotting metal cans

LMAO. Hershey's "Logan Bar" tasted like shit by design - tasting "a little better than a boiled potato" was literally a design requirement for it - and was hated both by US troops and Axis troops capturing them.
Idk man that sounds like a methhead trying to say it's not crystal its quarts.
Scho-Ka-Kola is still in business using the same formula they did in WWII, though. Real popular among truckers in Europe as a coffee substitute. You get all the caffeine and none of the handling a mug full of hot stuff while driving.
I feel like ignoring the part right after the boiled potato quote is disingenuous >(to keep soldiers from eating their emergency rations in non-emergency situations)
the D ration wasn't "mmm chocolate" it was "how much fat and sugar can we stuff in this bitch"
Well, sure. Kinda hard to call it the best chocolate in WWII, though. And kinda dumb it took the US military until '45 to finally put their heads out of their asses and try to make it palatable.
>LMAO. Hershey's "Logan Bar" tasted like shit by design - tasting "a little better than a boiled potato" was literally a design requirement for it - and was hated both by US troops and Axis troops capturing them.
Good thing that US troops had the Red Cross sending them more palatable chocolates while the Logan Bars were mostly thrown away. M&M's were even created for the war.
>Pretty disingenuous to compare emergency rations to sweets. Americans got actual good chocolate too, it was just civilian stuff
"Civilian" chocolate in America adopted the taste after WWII.

Logan bars were emergency rations. There were also regular chocolate bars issued as treats and they were the same as what the soldiers could’ve bought back home before the war.
it's crazy how genuinely bad american chocolate is. even the civilian chocolate is garbage so i'm not surprised military rations are barely sugared bland trash.
cabury's chocolate literally tastes like vomit and hershey's is bland as fuck. go to the EU and all their local brands are much much better, much sweeter but also actual flavor to them that doesn't taste like the inside of a baby bottle
Didn't the Japanese drop chocolate laced with some toxin on the Chinese, killing thousands of children? I'm sure some anon here can back this vauge possible bullshit up.
Any recs for buying this stuff at a reasonable price stateside? Varusteleka has them for 26.99 per 10 but feel like shipping from Finland might kill the price savings
It would also be beyond retarded to order chocolate by mail with the temperatures we're having right now. That shit is gonna melt while it's sitting in some un-airconditioned truck or airplane hold. Do that in the winter.
T. Amerimutt with Euro family who sends chocolate over
Amazon? There's probably a store near enough to you if you're in a city of any reasonable size, like an actual candy store or maybe a World Market. I actually bought a tin once at a local German restaurant that has a store attached to it, they mostly sell meat but have other German candy and random stuff
In the US you can only get it via international order on Amazon or similar. Coca Cola used a trademark lawsuit to effectively kick them out of the US market.
That's the absolute best deal you're going to find in the US, believe me I've looked. The resellers on amazon and ebay are ripoffs. I usually buy something along with the chocolate, they always have some cool surplus clothing item worth picking up.
It's an old myth because people kept confusing various nicknames given to it and Pervitin. It just contains coffee powder and cola nut extract, which translates to a pretty hefty amount of caffeine. IIRC 200mg caffeine per tin. For comparison, a can of Monster is like 80mg.
>Anyone know where I can get some?
Coca Cola went anal in the 90's and created a trademark dispute. You can't buy it anywhere in the US now. Only way is shipping it internationally via online sellers.
Soluble instant coffee is actually a good choice for this. Or if you want it strong, espresso powder. Or mix in guarana powder if you wnat it to really kick.
Melt chocolate, mix in rest, stir until there's no more clumps, put into form (silicone works well to get it out again), put in fridge until it solidifies, then cut into chunks.

I'm trying to figure out how they got supplies sent to them during the war, seeing as they were surrounded by the Allies/Germany during the war...
They were nominally neutral but surrounded by the axis. They were strongarmed into letting axis trains pass through their territory where they'd theoretically be out of reach of allied air attack (the US "accidently" bombed then a few times anyways)
They weren't strong armed, they cooperated eagerly and profited immensely. The US bombed them after the stupid little mountain garden gnomes shot at oveflying bombers to let them know that if they wanted to bleed for Hitler, the US Army would be happy to oblige them. They wisely decided to bow their heads and remain silent.
i have this tinny schiller coming along with an oak tree and the package is stuck in OREIGN CENTERJERSEY CITY NJ again. does this location only employ lazy morons?
Germany.
America's chocolate tasted like puke.
Literally, buy the soldiers got used to it so that became the norm until not too long ago.
Meanwhile brits are brits, soviets didn't know the taste and japs ate people instead.

iirc 1/2 a scho ka kola = a cup of coffee. Always wanted to order some but I don't think it would ship well.

Probably the side that was able to give it to all of their soldiers and not just officers. Common American logistics W

you can get real chocolate in the US, mate.
try shopping somewhere other than the gas station or a vending machine.
You can still buy those
They are pretty gud
bueno
i wish these things werent so expensive in the US
shit is pretty good
Varusteleka sells 10pack sleeves.
I've...I've got a few cans sitting around waiting on a suitable project.
why do you need a "project" for chocolate
just bake a cake and crumble/shave them on top or something
I have about 4 and a half cases of these sitting next to me right now. Best backpacking chocolate ever.
You just posted it. Caffeinated chocolate > everything else
Didn't the Japanese drop chocolate laced with some toxin on the Chinese, killing thousands of children? I'm sure some anon here can back this vauge possible bullshit up.
>the Japanese used extremely rare and rationed materials to kill children
Yeah that sounds like 100% bullshit.
Japan didn't exactly have the food to be wasting on perfectly good bayonet practice dummies during the war anon
Any recs for buying this stuff at a reasonable price stateside? Varusteleka has them for 26.99 per 10 but feel like shipping from Finland might kill the price savings
buy something with it
It would also be beyond retarded to order chocolate by mail with the temperatures we're having right now. That shit is gonna melt while it's sitting in some un-airconditioned truck or airplane hold. Do that in the winter.

Which is the one that contains speed?
That one
Anyone know where I can get some?
It doesn't.
It's an old myth because people kept confusing various nicknames given to it and Pervitin. It just contains coffee powder and cola nut extract, which translates to a pretty hefty amount of caffeine. IIRC 200mg caffeine per tin. For comparison, a can of Monster is like 80mg.
what kind of fucked Monster are you drinking?
generally, energy drinks have around 32mg of caffeine per 100ml
a can of monster is like 16 fluid ounces so youre getting 150 or so mg of caffeine. most people generally consume the entire can once opened
>Anyone know where I can get some?
Coca Cola went anal in the 90's and created a trademark dispute. You can't buy it anywhere in the US now. Only way is shipping it internationally via online sellers.
Has anyone found the recipe for this yet? Think it would be fun to make my own.
Pretty sure the exact recipe they use is still kept secret. There's a bunch of homemade recipes to produce similar around on the internet though.
Melt chocolate
Grind 2 x 100mg caffeine tablets into powder
Mix powder into chocolate
Refrigerate
You at least want coffee powder if you aim to get close to the taste of the real thing.
You'd need to add way more coffee powder than if you added caffeine powder
It would have a very strong instant coffee taste
no reason you couldn't do both. a little instant coffee powder to get the flavor right, caffeine separately.
Chocolate, Coffee and Kola Nut.
Also they sell it on Amazon (and Varusteleka)
Soluble instant coffee is actually a good choice for this. Or if you want it strong, espresso powder. Or mix in guarana powder if you wnat it to really kick.
300g chocolate
1 tablespoon coffee/espesso powder
1 tablespoon cola nut powder
1 tablespoon guarana powder
Melt chocolate, mix in rest, stir until there's no more clumps, put into form (silicone works well to get it out again), put in fridge until it solidifies, then cut into chunks.
The Japanese, if you like meth.
And being a kamikaze.

My tin expired 03/25/2022 and it is very crunchy
I used to use scho-ka-cola to keep awake and alert when I was working 70 hour weeks. Shit works without a monster crash like other stimulants
Where did Germany actually source chocolate from post circa 1943? Did they still have stocks of this in '45?
