This dude eats 72 year old food and I question if it's safe to eat canned goods with a best buy date that ended 3 months ago.
he has eaten civil war hard tack
When I first watched I didn't know he was going to eat it
+jaylesium jayeonce Yeah, that hard tack seems like it was 1/4 inch concrete.
It's an "acquired taste"

Ah 1944, when cigarettes were considered basic necessities.
Still are lmao

You want cigarettes with it too?
Do I look daft? Of course I want dang cigarettes.

"I'm still tasting it, I really wanna clean my palate".
*proceeds to drink 72 year old beef bouillon*
The 2 paper clips made from steel was a clever and cheap way of fitting an iron containing oxygen scavenger into these rations to keep the contents fresh, the can and the lid would be heated to about 120c before being stamped together to dry the air, then it would have been sealed in a vaccum, the little air left in the structure of the food would then have been sucked out when the can cooled to the gap between the can and food and absorbed by the metal paperclips that would lock the air in as oxide of iron.
The lack of matches is because (a) lighters and matches were everywhere in kit and also permanganate fire starters and magnesium rods and also (b) the sulphur in the match head chemistry would have been absorbed into the food and tainted/poisoned it and made it inedible and useless..
Thanks, cheers!
Man were they clever
Thank you.
Appreciate the explanation on the clips, today they would need to engineer a device ...
how much can u write about 2 paper clips in a can ?
Well then, UA-cam recommendations, you win this round.
Agreed
Definitely
3 months later
agreed haha
Well said.
"how did your loved one pass away?"

Great point.

That’s because it is an old hard block of milk!

Probably the most natural one too like zero added chemicals

Wow, it's shocking how well preserved that ration is, considering it was made in the 40's. That's a cool piece of history.
ChemicalBrain ur mom is a cool piece of history
maxy waxy I got this mental image of my skinny white ass mom doing the Rosy the Riveter pose lol

Ikr you look at it and think "hey thats nice" then you look at the title and its fucking 70+ years old
Thats a cool peice of history gone to the stomach

"That's no good. Trust me."
Unironically I do trust him on it
We believe you Steve 😭
"Savoury with a slight side of greasy and foul" Amazing.
"Smells like foul cheese" Still eats it. I swear this is the main reason why I watch these

So what did you have for dinner last night.. "A 1944 para ration pack" Hard times..
RayKit 💀
LOL
RayKit Hard times indeed, that's why they included the cigerettes Lol😂
Omg yes@@austinsollazzo9253
This joke was good but not too good it was one of those jokes that just give you a smirk against your left cheek but not right - quote from a meme expert.
The cheese had a warning about the nasty taste on the wrapper. It said Kraft.
Rhetorical Oracle 🤣 haha

9:06: "I really wanna clean my palate, and y'know what? There's no better way to do it than to take a little sip of this 72-year-old beef bouillon". Steve, you are insanely awesome.
.... 20 minutes later he went and absolutely DESTROYED his toilet...
Ren 89 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Gonna have to throw the hole house away.
Destroys toilet
*looks down*
Alright lets take a bite
He has a weekly toilet subscription. It's still not fast enough.
that's the thing, he's not actually using a toilet they found out long ago about these videos and he's been removed from the water system altogether. For everybody's public safety. He is using a conveniently located latrine somewheres off-camera. Saying he destroyed, said facilities would be very polite of phrasing. I'm guessing he knew enough not to smoke. The second one of those cigarettes while using facilities or that could've been a whole other kind of UA-cam video. Maybe a new kind of suicide bomber training video. feed your volunteer the following ready-to-eat food in its entirety, then supply them with a roll of toilet paper to matches and one of these special military cigarettes make sure they remember not to light said cigarette till they are strategically located within a heavily frequented public washroom facility for best results then light cigarette. Casualty rates will vary depending on metabolism of volunteer and how quickly his body processed the contents of the ready to be eaten meal package. I can only imagine the devastation of the area surrounding the latrine facilities. I wonder how many of your neighbors called the authorities. I wonder how that meeting of REM enthusiasts worked out? On site porta potty's must have been like portable death chambers.
“Anything else left? Oh yeah, there’s charms! Nice.”

lol. same
Best part
so wholesome, his smile when he realized he had the charms left 🤣
Awesome! Love how smokes, sugar and chocolate were considered necessary rations in the 40s!
You forgot the chewing gum.
It's all about the morale
Forgot the coffee
Fluterra calories, energy, feel good.
Then coffee, chocolate, smokes.
Feel extra good.
Now then, where's my gun, I've got to keep moving...
No you won't find cigarettes in MREs today at all.
This guy is a riot. So mellow about describing horrible, awful things as he eats them.

People from 74 years ago would just see our computer monitors as big flat televisions. The magic part would be the internet.
No televisions or television stations existed in 1944!
Sorry TVs existed but consumers could not buy them yet and no programs were being broadcast yet.
Uh, yes they did. Television was invented in the late 1800s, and actual television broadcasting started in the late 1930s The FCC started regulating commercial broadcasting for television in the USA in 1941.

*OH NICE*
I think having cigarettes with no lighter or match would be enough to make a soldier kill...
maybe he could use the flint of his gun lol
This was in a vest filled with other survival stuff, so maybe it's in another pocket.
Germans smoke too, there's gotta be one of em out there with a light. Alright, here's our next assault strategy...
Kapitän Klüster Feck "Why the war was really won"- Each mission had a reason behind it.. A cigarette lighter. Why else would they run towards incoming fire. lol
the flint of his gun? you realize that flints haven't been used since the civil war...
"I still haven't gotten to the cigarettes yet, what else is there."
"Oh yeah the Charms."
"Nice." 😉👍
I am still feeling the bad cheese taste ..
.. I´ll just sip a bit of the 70 years old soup to clean it off.
Incredible videos though, I love the whole idea of unpacking very old rations and examining them. Also love the enthusiasm and courage (tasting food two times older than me .. wow!)
“Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. The plane...I mean, it’s not bad, we’re still in the air. Uh... Wait. Our engines are definitely not working though. Oh man. Yeah, they’re just, I mean, they’re just jet engines and I can imagine if you didn’t need them to fly, then, yeah, they wouldn’t be that bad. I mean, they’re still on the wings. That’s pretty surprising. Let’s see if we can maybe turn them back on... Okay. Nice! Yeah. They’re on fire.”
The comments on this dude's videos are half the reason I watch them holy shit
Now rephrase that like the boss guy from The Office

What the point of having it if you can't eat it
I like this channel because you open the cans that are really old and eat them
Me: there’s no way he’s gonna eat that shit
Also me: oh my god.
still better than British school dinners.
Commando Apple Bad day?

Steve, you gotta make more videos man, this shit is addicting!
I agree 100% man...
how do you expect him to get MREs or ration packs on a daily or even weekly basis?
yea now we have to wait like 2 week for the next vid :'(
Addictive, not addicting

"Alright! Let's get this out onto a tray! Nice!"
I am also super jelous that he get's to smoke that old cigarette!
I think the rule of thumb is not to eat dairy products that are older than you...
Or 25 years older than your grandparents.
laught a little bit harder on this comment then i should
or to not shout in Russian on the plane
Hey people I gave you guys a like
ATM your grandparents are only 49?
"Let's get this out onto a tray"...
*"Nice!"*
Nightquaker love how he's always almost surprised that a tray has appeared
m'kay!
Its currenty 4 in the morning and I have been binge watching your videos.
This is by far one of the most interesting channels to watch on UA-cam! I can't get enough of this stuff!
WW2 instant coffee, still fine after 70 years. MRE instant coffee, dry mold after 5 years. It's like coffee technology has regressed.
Sean Heihn *Money*. Can make money if they last to long!
Depends on storage conditions though, since a lot of old coffee he's opened has turned into tar...
oy vey
It was kinda of cool how cigarettes were considered healthy in the past and seen as having their place in the nutritional pyramid.
It may have been to satisfy a universal nicotine addiction among personnel in wwII.
It was simply a morale booster. It had nothing to do with what they considered healthy back then. If a pilot is downed, trying to survive without being captured or killed, having a smoke or two was a respite from the stress of the situation.
I think it was for reducing hunger.
its kinda cruel they didn't include matches to light them though :p
Those cigarettes are not the cigarettes of today. They didn’t have all of the crappy additives and preservatives in them that can kill you off faster.
I need someone to look at me like this great man looks at MREs
I genuinely appreciate your optimistic attitude
"Oh Yeah, there's Charms. Nice."
Love this guy so much, the way he says nice
Favorite part of the video
This is when I started wondering if he had food in the house.
12:10 freaking legendary
He hasn't uploaded in three weeks. The old food finally got 'im.
same thing for kiwi dude
delamovies They're planning something. I know it.
He got considered as a WW2 casualty :((
"So you like to collect old WW2 rations huh?"
"No i just eat them"
Oddly alluring. Your voice is so soothing.
after he said "a bitter numbing...." I expected him to collapse dead after that cheese bite lol:
haha 😂
Ciridan that’s me after eating cheese!😋
dude, he eats Civil Wars era hard tack, and still standing
I'm so glad I found this channel. It's crazy to see how alot of the shit he opens is still eatable after 70+ years
Yup
Keep up the good work mate, you're criminally undersubbed
+Cranjis McBasketball Same for me. I have a line on current MREs and really only tried a few things from one when my brother in law joined the Army in 2009. He's still in, zipping around in Blackhawks.
+Cranjis McBasketball buy one on Amazon bro
Quality packaging.
Dude just found these videos. You made my day my friend.
This guys commentary and tone has me rolling! Love it bud!
Omg, that chocolate that was made by Nestle’s in Fulton, NY is crazy! I had no idea that place was so old... i live about 10 miles from that Nestle’s plant, unfortunately its being torn down. Its almost completely gone now, its being replaced by an Aldi’s store. But that is really cool to have been watching this and see that they were making chocolate for MRE’s back in the 40’s. My grandma worked there pretty much all her life, she was born in the year 1940. So its pretty crazy to think that she was 4 when that chocolate bar was made, and it has survived to this day. That made my day for some reason lol :)
it's like time traveling. So fascinating.
not wanting to say this but
Mres were made in the 80s idiot!
Fortune Finders cool little story!
Family Account you know what they meant, quit trying to be a turd
Chocolate is replaced by groceries
WHY WOOOORLD!!!!!!!!!
You should have a show on history channel.
Calvin R that would be awesome! But they would ruin it with all the drama haha
Its amazing that under the right conditions, things like this can hold up and look brand new.
This is by far the most interesting channel I’ve ever seen.

The food is created before he is, gives me chills
Hey MRE Steve, we met at the burn and you shared with me your cheese and bacon spread MRE. Great videos man, keep it up!
I read your comment in your distinctive voice and it makes it even better. Keep up the awesome videos and historical eating! I really should visit the ration museum one day if I go to the US :)

Hey Shaun! Really cool to see ya here man. Yep this is my weird YT channel. Some of the videos are okay. I'll never forget that trip out there - it was a trip alright. I think you brought only 8 gallons of water if I remember correctly. That was still enough though - packing light. Sarge and I brought 16 gallons each. I got stuck in Exodus for 10 1/2 hours on my way out. That place isn't for the weak. Take care & see ya around.

Put that in your bong and smoke it!

Guess i had it easy only waiting 6 1/2 hours to get out this year

This channel is a frikin jewel, glad i found it again, i thinks this is the 2nd time i encounter this channel, as i have wathced mre channels before, plus best comment section ever.
The best historical resource for what the soldiers had in their stomachs while fighting for our freedom. Such a great channel .
I love that this guy isn't a regular smoker, but he smokes at least a cigarette from all the rations. Imagine how much a cigarette would help morale for us smokers.
I dont see how he doesn't feel like total crap after smoking those haha. I get soo light headed as a non smoker
