the mre was probably older than some of the viewers lol
Most, I bet.
james fry I was in grad school then, almost done. I'm so old...
i would of been four at the time so you got me on that one
james fry It's older than me
>< happen to be born in 1990 haha
I am obsessed with your voice. Something about the way you speak and your word choice is so very soothing
Darian she speaks so eloquently 😆 I love it(and her obviously)
Her voice is so relaxing. She should record an audiobook
Darian such a lovely voice to come out of such a crusty mouth
She should start narrating books her voice is so smooth it would work amazingly.
+North Carolinaball Oh my gosh yes!! I would listen to any book she narrated!!
She is way too pure for this world omg I cannot see her being rude to anyone
wtfphillip she's the last of a dying breed.
Lol
Don’t let a pretty face fool you.
Haha
Try interrupting her meditation when it's THAT time of the month... then you'll wish you had never poked the bear, so-to-speak.
Emmy, hi. I was in the Army from 1977-1998 so I ate a few C rats and a lot of MRE. Did you know that for a while the toilet paper in MREs was blue? We were told it was a calming color since relieving yourself in view of others was a stressful act and the color blue would make it less stressful. Don't know if that is true but that is what we were told.
Hello, Don! Blue toilet paper?! Ha! I wonder if there's any truth to it? And thanks for sharing that 🚽 tidbit.
You are welcome, and while I think MREs are sorta nasty at best, I find you delightful and your channel strangely fun to watch.
Hello. Why in front of one another? I thought guys took short walks with a shovel.
@@donwayne1357 C Rat?
@@witt.1620 From WWII and Viet Nam...
Thanks to so many of you concerned with my health after tasting this meal, but I'm happy to report that all was well.
The miracle of irradiated food!
emmymadeinjapan I love these videos can u make more cuz I watched all of them
I really enjoy watching your videos! You are so cute also I have to say!
emmymadeinjapan I'm watching this beafor school in half hour
really wanted to see the fruit reconstituted
A few notes:
1. Be very circumspect when eating the freeze-dried fruit in old MREs. When I was in the Army in the mid-80s, we were told initially to dispose of the fruit packs, then eventually told to inspect the packaging very carefully. I was told that some of the fruit had made it to packaging without having been completely dried, and some bacterium or another got a foot-hold. A few service personnel were sickened. I was taught that so long as it was under a very good vacuum and didn't have any spots which seemed soft, it was okay. Also, the production was corrected and later ones (post-circa-1989) are supposed to be safe.
2. Some people experience something that is....well....whatever you call the opposite of a laxative effect...when regularly eating MREs. Common lore blamed it on the fortified peanut butter.
3. There are two "recipes" you can make using ingredients from MREs. I never found either recipe particularly appetizing, but it can keep you entertained for a while fiddling with the contents of the accessory pack:
If you open the creamer pack, pour the sugar pack into it, seal the creamer pack by folding down the package, then cook the whole thing over the matches, you can get a caramelized blob called a ranger cookie.
Mix together the cocoa powder, creamer and sugar with the right amount of water, you get ranger pudding.
Richard Blackwell that's amazing! Thank you for sharing.
This is really interesting thank you sir
That is so neat!
The 80’s ahh the military during peace time. Hurry up and wait.
I miss the 80s, i was born in 1979...so the 80s was where my learning began...miss those years.
HER VOICE IS SO SOOTHING LIKE I FEEL REALLY RELAXED AND WANT TO SLEEP HAHAHAHA
@D B what ??? 😂😂😂
ASMR
D B shut the fuck up.
I agree, BittenBerry. I have also reported D B's comment.
Yesss I always do!!!
Emmy you are so brave. I would never eat anything bought off ebay. =/
Dario Cruz my thoughts exactly.
Cryingggg 😂
Loooool
Well at least the way this is packaged you could tell if it was opened or tampered with
Am I the only one who thinks it's so cute when she goes "mmm. Mhm!" when she's eating? Lol idk I just find it so adorable
Channels like Emmy’s are what makes YT beat the networks anymore
Leigha Mercer me too
And the head nods!! 😄
I really love how respectful you are when tasting things!!
Edward Nygma ikr she so unbiased
File a butthurt report
@@robbrown3941 ?
Iridium wasn’t me. Someone had my phone. I don’t even remember this. Apologies
She's awesome!
Emmy, have you ever gotten food poisoning?
I've been lighting matches wrong all my life 😂
Glory Williams OMG SAME
Glory Williams You weren't doing it wrong. There's not really a proper way, it just makes it a little easier if you grip it with top cover, but if you're using a box of matches or a tube than there's only the one way still.
I was shaken when I saw her do that. My world was flipped and turned upside down fr
My dad always talked about how they wouldn't drink the coffee with water, they would just put the powder (2 packets if possible) straight in their lip (as you would with say chewing tobacco). It wakes you up much faster and is much more efficient (probably more from the taste than the actual caffeine, lol) but when you have to wake up at 4:30 am I guess you'll do anything. :)
Whoa. That's hardcore.
I volunteered at the University Games when I was a teen and we were told to keep the athletes away from the coffee powder as apparently they did the same thing!
In my middle school they banned dehydrated coffee because the kids kept getting caught snorting it for some reason.
I admire how thorough you are.
Thanks. 😊
emmymadeinjapan Where can I buy this?
emmymadeinjapan i love ur vids/ i never ate a mre
Jacq ues amazon
Makayla Walker Thanks.
Emmy, for a few weeks now I’ve been watching your videos with my 2 year old to help her relax at nap time and at bed time. Her favorite part of your videos is when you make tea/coffee. We’ve been running through your military ration playlist because you always make tea and/or coffee in those! If you had a compilation video of every time you ever made tea/coffee, we would probably watch it every day. 😂 Thank you for making all these videos, we love you!
this video was so satisfying for some reason... and your in depth explantion of each food item was amazing... instantly subscribed!!!
I remember trading MRE's for Brit rations during Desert Storm. Both were awful but the change of awfulness was nice.
This was very interesting and quite humorous. “Change of awfulness” had me on the floor. Thank you for your service. Blessings
That's interesting!! What did British rations consist of?
life ultimately altered via the hack witnessed at 7:58. thank you Emmy-san.
shamsazzie I've never thought to light them that way!
Segen Northsgård me either!!
How do you normally light a match then? O.O I'm really curious, everyone in my family does it like Emmy.
Take it off the bundle and strike it against the striker thing. She kind of sandwiches it between the striker and the other end. I've always just taken the match off and striked it.
What Segen Northsgård said
I don't really watch food channels at all but you describe everything so well that I really can imagine what they taste like, and the texture of them, which is very interesting to me :)
Good on you Emmy! Was kind of worried for you but it turned out great :)
That MRE has been in this world longer than me haha 😂
Old meatballs beat old socks any day! 😀
Very interesting! My husband (an army veteran) spent 7 months in the desert leading up to Desert Storm, as well as the official first gulf war. He told me that he and his buddies used to collect the sugars and creamers from the sundries packs, then occasionally would make a sort of creamy fruit salad with the freeze dried fruit, sugar, creamer, and water. I think it was similar to the prison food recipes you try... they spent months eating pretty much MREs and nothing else for months, so they were always looking for a way to get something new as a change of pace.
My husband's family also sent periodic care packages, and in one they included a canister of Tony Chachere's seasoning. (It's pronounced "SHA-sher-ees," btw!) He didn't want it to break in his rucksack, so he reinforced the container with a few layers of duct tape, which seemed like a great idea... until he had to jump from an airplane with his rucksack fastened between his legs. Unfortunately, the force of the landing caused the container to not just break but to explode... everything in his rucksack wound up impregnated with cajun seasoning!
Good times... 😁
Oh, my goodness. Makes for a great story, but I can only imagine the mess. 😂
emmymadeinjapan Yea, apparently the smell was pretty intense. 😁
it's actually sash-uh-ree's i have cousins with that last name who are related to tony chachere
emily mulcahy Interesting... I've known a couple of people with the last name who pronounced it like I showed. I guess it's a good example of how names often don't follow regular rules! Thanks for sharing this with us! 💙
*Edited to add that however you say it, it's delicious! In my home we just call it "Tony's," and we go through a lot of it!
God bless you and your husband! What an interesting and cool story.
Eat that whole packet of peanut butter and one package of toilet paper won’t be nearly enough. We used to call the “beverage “ Bug Juice. Mix up a few gallons and add grain alcohol and you have a drink we called Purple Jesus...🙂
😂😂😂😂
I was married to a Marine for 9 years and we had 3 children and we loved when we'd camp and get to eat MRE's he'd bring. I loved all the little extras including, at times, the cutest tiny bottles of tabasco sauce! This was in the 1980's...so they looked just like this one.
My personal favorite was the pork patty which came with the cookie just like that one...pretty good at the time!
But...he had gotten hold of some old "sea rations " which were before MRE's and had more canned items which were pretty gross...but...they too had fun extras...including "one " very old non-filter cigarette 🤢
Was fun to watch...thanks!
You are a brave Soul! 26 yr old meatballs scare me. LOL
HaterzLuvForever last time I checked your name wasn't women.
Women? Gay men? Lesbians?
+HaterzLuvForever Can you not be so disgusting in the comment section of a woman who is married and has children?
HaterzLuvForever you must be 12 years old with a name like that , go back to making memes kid😂
you must not get a lot of women private parts if you get what I mean.
_The white fruit thing's chew sound reminds me of the sound when walking on snow_ xD
Yes!
I find her soooooo soothing and calming. Looking forward to like a rain storm while watching here
Steve1989 would be proud. Nothing was rancid. Nice!
I love that guy 😂😂
My dad has a huge ammo crate of this color of MRE packaging. I love eating them
1990 was 26 years ago?...😭
I said the same
TRSjulie I had a moment a few years ago when I realized that while I'm familiar with the 1960s, my parents lived through them and remembered them the way I remember the late 80s and the 1990s. It was a strange thing to realize, even though it really should have been obvious!
check the date uploaded
Right😭
......I know.... a quarter of a century
Thanks. Haven’t seen one of these since I was in the Marines in the early 80s. You should try to get your hands on old C rations. They came in cans.
This was very enjoyable to watch . I like how you get straight to the point but you don’t rush it either 👍🏼
I love that you are eating one of the more popular meals from back when I was in. Plus, you did it on the Marine Corps Birthday!
The thing about the coffee , I do believe that type 1 is regular and 2 is decaf. In newer U.S. MRE's Gen 1 drink (the flavored powder like the grape you have) is heavily sugar'd? I guess is the word. It has more sugar and taste's more like what you'd expect where as Gen 2 has way less (almost none but there is just a bit) and isn't as appealing. (As you know for whatever reason in america we love to sweeten everything and add tons of sugar.)
Great info -- thanks so much for sharing. 👍
9:16
My teeth hurt just from that sound!!!
I could imagine Steve1989 breathing heavily.
Always get a little overexcited for a MRE video, those meatballs are older than me, that's nasteeee😆
Dark Western a bit harsh lol
haha, this was probably the cutest mre review in history
This is the first video of yours I have watched and may I say, you are just delightful! So calming and enjoyable, keep on keeping on!
Your videos are so calming! You are a breath of fresh air. Thank you for all you do.
My dad was in the military in the 90's and I remember those packs being in our pantry! All of the packaging looked so familiar as you unwrapped it.
Also that ration pack was born the same year that I was :)
ShayCWin I was born in 2004 😂😂😂😂
You should show this vid to your dad.
her teeth looks so nice! lol
pinkie24 Her teeth look unbelievably strong. Seeing her bite into that freeze dried fruit stuff made me cringe. No way my teeth could handle that.
Exactly what I was thinking. Just the mention of freeze dried stuff makes me cringe.
Accually that block is really soft like Styrofoam. That gum on the other hand I've had that experience with gum much older it almost broke my teeth.
she broke half of them when she ate that gum lol
the texture of freeze dried stuff is like nails on a chalkboard for me....not necessarily that it's too hard
make ranger pudding it's from 3 mre ingredients plus water
1. Coffee powder
2. Hot cocoa powder
3. peanut butter
4. 1oz of water
stir it together and let thicken a bit
shes so graceful and polite bless her, love these mre videos for some reason
So I assume they don't expire or they have an insane shelf life can someone educate me on this please?
If you're interested in more info on US MREs, I would suggest going to mreinfo.com. Lots of interesting information there.
Been trying to research this but it seems like the MRE of today have a 5 year shelf life so I'm trying to figure out how this 26 year old one wound up being edible still unless it was sealed really good and it was the lack of air that still made it edible which seems to be the case.
It must have been faithfully stored in the most optimal conditions all this time.
I saw this documentry and they did an experiment and it proved that canned food or food that is in a vacuum packaging last for more then 20 years, they tested some tuna in a can and i think it was from the 1950s i could be wrong, and because it had no dents or damages it was still fresh
probably something to do with the vacuum seal
My school is actually having a Veterans Day assembly tomorrow and I'm reading an essay on MREs.
haha we don't have school
CraftMaster Prath same
Alesha Noel It's kind of disturbing that a school makes kids blindly worship the army.
ADORABLE!! Could Binge watch her all day! Love the MRE Vids and the antique kitchen Gadgets...FUN and informative and VERY well done!
There is something strangely relaxing about watching these types of vids.
That freeze-dried fruit was so cool! My grandfather used to always have a stash of MREs around, which my brother and I loved to have as a treat when we visited or spent the night...I wonder if he still has any. I'll check when I go down for Thanksgiving!
RubyLovesRocket I’m 2 years late lol, but did he have some left??
I’m 5 yrs late did he have any left?
He couldn't remember at the time, but no, we cleaned the house from top to bottom when he died in 2020 and didn't find any.
Also 5 years late, and I must say, those dehydrated fruits are one of the most delicious things I've ever eaten.
HOLY CRAP. I had to look twice. This is from my city! McAllen, TX. That's pretty rad. This was in my city before I was born there.
Cool
Raquel Villarreal same!
I'm from McAllen toooooo there's a lot of mre stuff that comes from here
Im from Edinburg but I go to Mcallen alot !!
and Des Plaines, IL on the grape drink . im from the chicago area
Hi. Your voice is soooo soothing. Calm. Relaxing. Just wanted to tell ya. Peace and love from Australia
Omg Emmy just blew my mind lighting the match like that. It makes so much sense!
Somewhere Stuart Ashen is watching and screaming at how much of this old food your eating.
always love these videos Emmy!
Its amazing watching you eat something older than me!
Hey Emmy I know I'm late commenting but I subscribed to you a few months ago and still cannot get enough of your videos. I love your positivity and energy you really make my day!!! It's so hard to find anyone like you who isn't always mad about something or putting others down just bad moods and bad energy. Everyone else on the internet is just always sending negative vibes but you are always so positive and you show your viewers to always look on the bright side and the endings of your videos are always so silly and funny!!!!! But I really enjoy watching you and can't get enough. Emmy, you truly are one of a kind and I just want to say thank you!!! 😊
After all my years in the Navy I LOVED seeing these old MRE from different countries you have! Amazed it lasted for 26 years! Thanks. I've loved watching your videos! I m a new subscriber! 😘 Blessings to you! 😘
dont know you, but i would like to thank you for your serving anyhow.
I love your MRE videos.
Simply Alondra me too
She's an MRE? lol
Thanks!
Alondra's Vlogs your*
I was hoping ud try the fruit mix rehydrated too...
I was thinking you're crazy for eating an MRE that old. Then I remembered some friends and I found hundreds of tins of Civil Defense survival biscuits in a mine in Nevada, they were canned in 1963...
We ate them and survived...
Survived what?
the civil defense survival biscuits were mostly sugar with a little bit of flour, they were easy to find in army surplus stores in the 80's and were perfectly good back then even though they were already decades old. in the early 60's civil defense stockpiled millions of tons of doomsday gear in fallout shelters all over the us but pretty much all of it was obsolete by the late 60's when people realized that fallout shelters don't work in reality when the nuclear bombs became huge....
I love watching these MRE vids. They're really informative!
To think that MRE is just a year older than me is just depressing😦😂
cheryl smith lol that mre is as old as me lol
haha, it is 4 years older than me.
cheryl smith it's exactly as old as I am. I would be afraid to eat this! That's some mad preservation right there!
cheryl smith 65 years older
Same. Ha
MRE's are my favourite on this channel! You're so thorough when you taste test everything, always a pleasure to watch :D
How fun! It was super fun watching you try all of them. I like imagining how much of a treat it would be to soldiers who haven't had a normal-ish meal in a long time. I've never had freeze-dried fruit! Seems awesome!
With my husband being an active duty Marine, these videos bring me so much joy and entertainment! Emmy, you are beyond adorably polite when I know firsthand how terrible some of these MREs can be hahah. Thank you for these videos! You are a doll!
The dried fruit looks a lot like the Astronaut ice cream I used to buy at Seattle Science Center.
YAAAAY EMMY ! So excited to see you been needing something positive ! It's been tough these past couple of days ! Love you ❤️❤️
This brings back so many memories of childhood for me (or teenage-hood?). I was in JROTC throughout high school (94-98) and we ate the late 80s and early 90s MREs whenever we had multi-day camping. Great memories and it's fun to watch you tasting the food, I can almost remember the tastes, too. My favorite was the corned beef hash.
This was the video that got me hooked on this channel. Love love love Emmy!
If you guys are super interested in this old stuff y'all should check out steve1989! He opens/eats all old mres! Some even dating back to the 50's-60's :)
FrenchToastyBox Nice!
FrenchToastyBox Emmy should also get that French mre Steve tried.
FrenchToastyBox wait till they hear him about those old smokes hahaha
That case was a well preserved case. One of my favorite experiences while I was there. All of us eating old mre's doesn't get much better than that. Still can't believe we ate that nut cake and was ok after. But it was perfectly fine. I could go on and on about this stuff.
+Steve1989 MREinfo Nice.
Amazing!! The moment the video started and I saw the package I was instantly transported back to Desert Storm. That was one of my favorites! What a wonderful video and perfectly uploaded on the Veteran's Day weekend. You rock! 2-66, 2AD (FWD) Iron Knights!
In the desert we simply tore them open, tossed on some Tabasco saved from other rations, and tucked in with the spoon. Once the fighting was over and we took up a position with Kuwait City on the horizon, I sometimes dug a hole in the desert, used metal mine marking flag sticks to form a grill, poured the contents of the entree pack in my canteen cup, soaked the sand with a blend of gas and diesel in the hole and set the ground on fire. Bam! Heated MRE. I admit that it would have been nice to have the water activated heaters that they have now, but...nostalgia, right?
Jason Collins I assume maybe you could answer my question then, Do MRE'S expire? Thank you for your service, no matter when it was.
I'm delighted you enjoyed it. 😊 Thanks so much and good Veteran's Day to you.
Malinda Walters We were told that they did not expire. I never really bought that, but judging from this video I am inclined to believe it! :)
I really love your channel you post very interesting yet amazing videos!
Love these types of videos...thanks for another one. ❤️
I'm surprised that chocolate hadn't bloomed after 26 years. :'D
Science.
emmymadeinjapan how is your boys
I said the same thing when she opened it lol
Lili-mai Ashley im in the unknown as to what "bloomed" chocolate is. Please inform me :)
Same. Which leads me to believe that coating was barely related to any real chocolate. Considering the operations we were doing in the 90's, real chocolate would have been a nightmare in the Gulf.
Was watching the chilli and macaroni mre video when this came through! I yelped! 😂😂
OMG, you are so brave. I was in the military so I know how low they can sometimes "set the bar" and as a consequence I don't think I would trust food that was as old as you appear to be unless I had a week to recover and lived a block or two from a hospital emergency room.
Again, after watching one of your videos, I was delighted by your pleasant voice and charming demeanor, if not network tv then a sponsor of UA-cam videos would be smart to get you on payroll.
THIS IS MY KIND OF CONTENT
Omg Emmy!! You are too cute!! You always say "let's try it on a cracker" or "let's try it on done bread" "hot sauce ALWAYS makes things taste better" I love your videos!!! I'm in New England too!! I would LOVE to meet you!!!
The look on your face when you bit into the gum was priceless. Great review! :)
I can watch your videos over and over again your my fave youtuber ever!!
I remember eats exact meal when we had a hurricane, this was my favorite mre.
I actually live in the town where these are made and I drive by the plant pretty much everyday! One of my friends is a quality supervisor there!
Ha! Small world. 👍
emmymadeinjapan what do you say before you eat
Kianne Doyle Ittadakimasu. It's a Japanese tradition and it means 'Thanks for the meal' basically :)
I use to put mine in the plastic heating tube that ran for my vehicle's heater. We did not boil ours. Later on they started to put heaters in them, so you had to pour water over the fuel tablet and it heated up the food for us.
My first MRE was Chicken Ala king, it looked awful, kind of an over cooked mess, hated it but I ate it. The freezer dried fruits were my favorites.
Love your videos! You have one of the best channels on UA-cam 🤗
💗💗💗🎯🎯🎯🎯👏👏👏👏👏👏💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I would have loved to see what it looks like when the fruit is rehydrated!
I really needed a video to pop up, it's been a bad day. Thank you Emmy! Old meatballs beat old socks any day!
Glad I could help. :)
This was a blast from the past for me, I have had that very ration cold in a muddy foxhole in panama in the pouring rain. And yes the fruit was the best part lol.
Pretty late but I’m a 90’s kid with a father who was in the military. This brought back so many memories!!! These came in handy big time for a big military family.
Emmy just get a pint of blood from steve1989mreinfo. You'll have enough antibodies to make you live through any old MRE tasting.
Nice… :-)
Perktube1 Nice hiss
Perktube1 truth that man has most likely built tolerances to everything
Someone should tag this video to Steve hey!? I love his content too hey. Alright, cool, see ya.
when you bit into the gum i was laughing so much 😂
You have about the best, smoothest, and calmest voice I've ever heard.
Love your reviews! You are very thorough and detailed.....plus just a pleasure to listen to! Trader Joe's is one of my favs too!
thank you for making these videos. they are the only thing getting me through college.
More interesting than Econ 101?
I'll send you an interesting menu from the case unless you have a preference on what you would like to try. Thanks for responding.... I'm humbled.
Oldsmokey oh you are very old...
For some reason it's so relaxing to watch your videos. Why does it seem like you was born to do this. Every time you eat something I can't wait to hear what you think of it. What is wrong with me. I am only 31 and already watching the food channel
Y'know what I like about your food vids is you actually describe the taste and so on. I mean, even that Andrew Bizarre foods doesn't do that-- its all "funky" and most others just do "wow". You are actually descriptive.
Also, you are probably the most pleasant person on the internet.
Her videos are very good...she deserves more subscribers
I named my cat after you, Emmy.
Awesome!
The Fappening that's so cute! makes me laugh because my cat (I thought I it was all cats) does not like to / refuses to try anything new... Unlike emmy...
I wanted to see the fruit rehydrated
I love your videos! you are so amazing.
I ate those exact meals in Desert Storm. Brings back memories. I loved the cookie. One of my favorite parts of the MRE.
You have me so intrigued with trying an MRE, that I ordered one. Lol
