The year is 2042, the stalemate over pacific islands between the two major powers has reached its third year. Well-dug trenches with reniforced rooftops, along with more powerful anti-vehicle weapons and the plenthora of drones that complement them have created the most high-tech trench warfare ever seen by man-kind. Any smallest ground offensive into the no-man's land would be immediately spoted and attacked. Warfare from this point have evolved into missile barrages from submarines, hoping that sufficient bombardment might create openings. For both sides, all that's left for the grunts in the tunnels is to wait, morale is at an all-time low. Post-war myth has it, that a sap tunnel created by chinese engineers broke through into a large crater reachable by americans became somewhat of a trading ground, where soldiers less-inclined to fight from both sides would sneak in, leave notes and goods for anything new. Aside from shell arts and personal keepsakes, the most popular trade was food...where chinese soldiers would trade away some of their extra noodles and rices for american chocolate beans and sweet jams.

@@brenthaymon280 Reminds me of an incident that occurred when I was hiking/climbing in Sequioa National Park in 1981. One of our group experienced a medical emergency, one of the symptoms of which was that he was hyperventilating. Just about the first question the EMS paramedic asked us was whether he had been drinking wood alcohol or anti-freeze (he hadn't). Struck me as a dumb thing to do then, and my opinion hasn't changed.
The real stand-out item for me was the hi-viz orange of the Reeses pack. Colours like that are just what you need to brighten up a dull day in the field.
That was my thought too. I get that these are going to be eaten mostly by eighteen- to twenty-two-year-olds, but that seems a bit childish even for that demographic.
Steve, I’ve never commented on any of your stuff before to my knowledge, but I want to thank you for always staying so amazingly and perfectly you!

You clearly do not understand the desires of cold, tired 18-21 year old infantrymen. Guys used to fight over who got the Beef Ravioli because that was one of three that actually had M&Ms in the accessory packet. I avoided that by making a beeline for the Mexican entrees, because that meant you'd get Jalapeno Cheeze instead of regular cheeze or (god forbid) peanut butter/jelly.
That green drink made me laugh out loud. What an odd choice lmao. It really does look like something you'd get served in a Fallout game with a high Uranium-235 content lmao.

It's an MRE, it's meant to be a lot of calories in a small package. Although they definitely could've swapped the Reese's Pieces with something not as sweet.
I just ate this one last week. Not impressed. Mine came with the patty, tortillas, BBQ sauce, mayo, bacon cheese spread, oatmeal chocolate chip cookie, peanut M&Ms, and au gratin potatoes. The best part was the cheese spread. Mine did not have the apple spread.
Tortillas plus the cheese to make a bacon cheese wrap is the goat. Tear that meat block in half and stuff them in there and you got something half decent to eat.

It was always beyond delicious and I was heart broken when they discontinued it. This episode brought me back to that dish! Love what you do and can’t wait until you pop up again!

@@uwillnevahno6837 this is a sign of society's eventual collapse IMO. The least they could do, which would also be annoying, is to get rid of those cool little mini-Tabasco bottles and substitute yet-another plastic pouch. Oh well...
@@Dorkus_ oh boy I can’t wait to be the one charging a trench for edible food this go around instead of it being the other way around - a refreshing change of pace
@@raideurng2508 To maximize the nutritional value of an MRE you are supposed to consume all the contents. After a day of pushing your body in combat, you likely will not be saving your cheezits and m&M's for a midnight snack. In my opinion the Chinese MRE showed far more sustenance than the highly processed and chemically induced foods included in this US ration. RFK jr. would be sick if he saw our latest MRE. One thing is fixing this in my opinion, and that is voting for Trump 2024. God bless. 🙏 ❤️
It is good to see this guy back. I was Infantry (RET) and around when we changed from C Rats to MREs. At first, the MREs were so bad our unit dog would not eat them and the reason they have Tabasco is because they tasted so bad at first, theft of hot sauce from the chow halls was rampant to try to kill the taste. LOL, a bone in Chicken and Rice, one of the better ones was not uncommon. One time I thought I hit a bone and it was actually a whole chicken beak. I never knew that a chicken beak had a vertical part to it, so, a thinking positive (except on HIV tests and we banged a lot of hookers) status, I learned science in addition to having food.
The French give their soldiers ostrich with cranberries because there's like 10 of them and they always have plenty of time to sit around on their butts and leisurely cook it. Respectfully.
This MRE seems so unpractical. Messy to eat out in the field without a tray, way to many packages, no item to eat fast in a combat situation or easy save later that is not a bag of mush (where is the energybar?) wtf is that low fat mayo? and NO COFFEE???? At least trow a pack of that freeze dried Colombian in there. I do envy the flameless heater, but at the same time you would still heat water for coffee anyway for those dehydrated meals. This one is an easy trade away for me.
Nah, this is fine in the field. Mayo goes on tortillas, that's mini meal one.(Its easiest to just break the tortillas in half rather than trying to unfold them.) Main can be eaten right from the packaging, hot or cold, mini meal 2. Cheese its and reeses are snacks, perfect for leaving in a dump pouch. Pound cake and apple pie juice can be either included for calories or removed to save weight. If you have time, you can spread the apple pie juice on the pound cake, if not, you can slurp it. Pound cake is pound cake. Remember, this is NOT something you eat day after day. This is something you take in a backpack for 12 hours of energy, or a couple of them for a few days. We have UGRs for longer term operations in environments too austere to support an actual kitchen and cooks.
The sight of that unholy combination of cheez-its, the cat food burger patty, and mayo on that tortilla was truly depressing. They really are just making these meals for children fresh out of school. Sad state of affairs.
I miss the old-school MREs they had back in the late 80's and early 90's when I was in. They were filled with real food, not junk food, and plenty of stuff to get creative with if you wanted to. Now it looks like they're packing these things in a convenience store, it's all junk and sugar. Ick.
@@Ducaso I mean, that's why I said it. Almost every high school in the US has army recruiters come by every year because they know it's easier to convince children to fight in wars rather than people with developed cognitive abilities.
At this point they've already cut too much cost in brain power to even realise this is a joke. The lower cost of this ration i think is a byproduct, not an intent. Most of the chain of command is braindead at this point, no one in it's right mind would give this a pass except if they're intentionally trying to poison soldiers.
This one looks like they are gearing up to send the iPad kids off to war. They just need to add a collectible sticker to the accessory pack that they can stick to their guns.
How can you say that instead of condemning the entire ratio lack of anything your body actually needs, the lack of coffee is the lesser offender here. This entire ration is criminal
Lion’s are my hometown team, but I’ve been struggling as well with AJ Brown being out! 1-2 as it stands. Projected to win now since my opponent has Allen, and he is underperforming from what it seems.
be glad they still include the "Beef" and not removed just to please the Vegan Group. and no Coffee damn well im suprise no Soybean Formula in there. to complete the DEI ration.
I had to ping my wife when this dropped. We're separated now, but Steve transcends that. We can get divorced later, but for now, get that out onto a tray, brother!
They include torillas because no one liked the snack bread, which was good. No shame in wrapping a log of meat in a torilla and devouring it. That and the apple spread on the poundcake is probably amazing.
Crappy packaging, no tabasco, no salt, no pepper, no sugar, no coffee or even tea, no crackers, and LOWFAT mayo... sigh.... :( , At least your videos are good.
the "crappy" packaging is a deliberate attempt to reduce the over all volume of the MRE, everything else, I agree with, but I was never a coffee drinker when I was in, so the coffee, creamer, and sugar all wound up in the trash
I wonder why they have generic names for obvious name brand foods like Cheez-It's, Corn Nuts, Combos, etc. Yet they use retail packaging for some snacks like Reese's.
Why are you so triggered by this? You're not the only one, all up and down he thread people are shrieking like the enemy has mimisgendered them in the field because they can't read their they/them gender identity patch?

Without coffee, no civilization can survive
Yep. The lack of coffee offends me.
I'm sure wokeness is to blame for this somehow!
I think something similar happened on a ship called bounty.
This MRE has to be the result of a packing error. It has to be. There's no way anyone would think this ration is okay to send out.
1 trillion budget at its finest 😂
Nah but fr servicemen gonna flood the top brass with complaints if this is it
@@hauscchildt6418 DI&E at its finest.

Steve does these videos purely for educational purposes and entertainment as well as him enjoying what he does just for the soul purpose of his own curiosity it’s amazing
Steve I missed you
It's good to be back with a couple new ones - hope you have a great night and see ya around
nice
@@Steve1989MREGlad you survived the hurricane!
@@dosler7560 we all missed Steve
1st they took the smokes out, now the coffee, blasphemy.
its all junk food and the no coffee leads me to think its for kids.
bet flavor gets removed next
No wonder nobody wants to join the military. Especially with Emily and her two moms 😂
You forgot tabasco, they dropped tabasco.......
@@uwillnevahno6837 this is a sign of society's eventual collapse IMO.
The least they could do, which would also be annoying, is to get rid of those cool little mini-Tabasco bottles and substitute yet-another plastic pouch. Oh well...
The amount of uploads makes me so happy. I fall asleep so easy listening to you talk. Thank you for being so relaxing ❤
The contrast between this and the Chinese one is absolutely terrifying
They manage to make the chinese one look gourmet compare to this
Wild times we are living in. Can't help but feel like something big is coming..
@@Dorkus_ oh boy I can’t wait to be the one charging a trench for edible food this go around instead of it being the other way around - a refreshing change of pace
I'd rather have this one. Two snacks for later, the muffintop/apple combo, and a big piece of meat. What's not to love?
@@raideurng2508 To maximize the nutritional value of an MRE you are supposed to consume all the contents. After a day of pushing your body in combat, you likely will not be saving your cheezits and m&M's for a midnight snack.
In my opinion the Chinese MRE showed far more sustenance than the highly processed and chemically induced foods included in this US ration. RFK jr. would be sick if he saw our latest MRE. One thing is fixing this in my opinion, and that is voting for Trump 2024. God bless. 🙏 ❤️
Nothing like watching Steve eat MRE'S while I get macaroni.
is it kraft? i've got a bowl of kraft in front of me
I enjoy eating while watching these too.
It is good to see this guy back. I was Infantry (RET) and around when we changed from C Rats to MREs. At first, the MREs were so bad our unit dog would not eat them and the reason they have Tabasco is because they tasted so bad at first, theft of hot sauce from the chow halls was rampant to try to kill the taste. LOL, a bone in Chicken and Rice, one of the better ones was not uncommon. One time I thought I hit a bone and it was actually a whole chicken beak. I never knew that a chicken beak had a vertical part to it, so, a thinking positive (except on HIV tests and we banged a lot of hookers) status, I learned science in addition to having food.
You are just what the doctor ordered, Steve. Thanks for helping with my heartache.
Steve1989mreinfo I was not having a great night but you posted your video, you’re always right on time when it comes to video posting
@@Alcoholic_Infantryman i believe you alcoholic infantryman
Got appreciate the thought and technical development that's gone into designing these military rations, and the taste obviously!
They managed to make an MRE without any vegetables and mostly junk food. I guess this is the U.S. on a tray. Nice.
That toilet paper is needed 🤣🤣
Troops eat at dining halls, MREs are only for when they can't get to one, which is not too often.
The French give their soldiers ostrich with cranberries because there's like 10 of them and they always have plenty of time to sit around on their butts and leisurely cook it.
Respectfully.
Ah, a douche liberal has made it here. Hi Karen! Get wrecked.
@@Rutherford_Inchworm_IIIPlus those MREs while up terribly.
I don’t even drink coffee and I get disappointed with Steve when this happens.
I like falling asleep to these videos but I was too invested watching this one. The apple pie spread sounds so cool!
So you’re saying Steve bores you. Weird flex but okay…
"Probably the most fun you'll ever have with a tortilla." How do you not want this guy as a neighbor? Another great video Steve!
I think Steve just invented Taco Bell’s next menu item.
That Fast Food Joint that desperate to spice up their menu? pun intended
The spicy barfarito.
they added a giant cheez it to the supreme
You're not wrong; they already added a giant cheezit to the menu.
Been watching your videos for years Steve. You're awesome. Nice!
This MRE seems so unpractical. Messy to eat out in the field without a tray, way to many packages, no item to eat fast in a combat situation or easy save later that is not a bag of mush (where is the energybar?) wtf is that low fat mayo? and NO COFFEE???? At least trow a pack of that freeze dried Colombian in there.
I do envy the flameless heater, but at the same time you would still heat water for coffee anyway for those dehydrated meals. This one is an easy trade away for me.
skill issue. patty types are one of the easiest meals to eat in the field
Nah, this is fine in the field. Mayo goes on tortillas, that's mini meal one.(Its easiest to just break the tortillas in half rather than trying to unfold them.) Main can be eaten right from the packaging, hot or cold, mini meal 2. Cheese its and reeses are snacks, perfect for leaving in a dump pouch. Pound cake and apple pie juice can be either included for calories or removed to save weight. If you have time, you can spread the apple pie juice on the pound cake, if not, you can slurp it. Pound cake is pound cake.
Remember, this is NOT something you eat day after day. This is something you take in a backpack for 12 hours of energy, or a couple of them for a few days. We have UGRs for longer term operations in environments too austere to support an actual kitchen and cooks.
@@AnAngryRedGummyBearWhat does UGR stand for? Ugly Gross Ration?
@@AnAngryRedGummyBearO.K. UGR is the T ration.
I think it's workable with but how long is this actually meant to last? I refuse to believe it lasts any good time.
The sight of that unholy combination of cheez-its, the cat food burger patty, and mayo on that tortilla was truly depressing. They really are just making these meals for children fresh out of school. Sad state of affairs.
I mean they kinda are making meals for kids straight outta school though. I have a feeling this menu won’t survive the next review.
I miss the old-school MREs they had back in the late 80's and early 90's when I was in. They were filled with real food, not junk food, and plenty of stuff to get creative with if you wanted to. Now it looks like they're packing these things in a convenience store, it's all junk and sugar. Ick.
@@antipsychotic451 ITS A KIDS TV DINNER IN A POUCH.. Bru GEN ALPHA ALMOST 18
@@Raskolnikov70 eew
@@Ducaso I mean, that's why I said it. Almost every high school in the US has army recruiters come by every year because they know it's easier to convince children to fight in wars rather than people with developed cognitive abilities.
Steve is and should be treated as a national treasure, you’re the man Steve keep up the great work on your videos 👍
NGL the PLA ration he posted before this video looks better thought out than this.
This one looks like they tried to cut costs
At this point they've already cut too much cost in brain power to even realise this is a joke. The lower cost of this ration i think is a byproduct, not an intent. Most of the chain of command is braindead at this point, no one in it's right mind would give this a pass except if they're intentionally trying to poison soldiers.
This one looks like they are gearing up to send the iPad kids off to war. They just need to add a collectible sticker to the accessory pack that they can stick to their guns.
@@Vok250 they should just go all in and replace the beverage poweder with gfuel
@@Vok250 bro fr😂
Sad to admit but the PLA one last week does look way better. This “meat” patty on a wet tortilla is just not a moral booster.
No coffee is a crime
How can you say that instead of condemning the entire ratio lack of anything your body actually needs, the lack of coffee is the lesser offender here. This entire ration is criminal
Don’t ever change Steve!!!!! We love you man!
watching this while doing homework 🔥 best channel ever
"mitochondria is the powercell of the accessory packet"
Steve double feature to overcome by dissapointment of this bills game
Sadly will not overcome my grief of losing Rice. But it helps
@@wheresmypc I also lost rice, probably cost me my matchup this week. Brutal
true!
Lion’s are my hometown team, but I’ve been struggling as well with AJ Brown being out! 1-2 as it stands. Projected to win now since my opponent has Allen, and he is underperforming from what it seems.
@@andrewb229 I also lost AJ Brown, hopefully he’s back this week though
Great review Steve, it's so calming to watch you explore these interesting MRE's.
I'm a bulk cooker myself and I've never considered mixing jalapenos into a burger before. Guess I have something new to try now!
Do it. It's delicious. I have gotten those on burgers before many times, and I've enjoyed them every time.
Wow 2 videos at the same time ❤❤❤
nice
I helped set up the silo tower and lines up for the Cheezits at the Kelloggs plant several years ago. It's nice to see someone enjoy that snack.
Why would they swap out mustard and ketchup for mayonnaise ?
DEI inclusion ... •_•
Mayo offsets pepper jack?
@@joshp5563 mayo sucks compared to the other 2. But give me Marie's hot sauce any day
be glad they still include the "Beef" and not removed just to please the Vegan Group. and no Coffee damn well im suprise no Soybean Formula in there. to complete the DEI ration.
They wouldn't want morale to get TOO high
I had to ping my wife when this dropped. We're separated now, but Steve transcends that. We can get divorced later, but for now, get that out onto a tray, brother!
Sorry to hear and I trust you guys make the right decision. Pray and see what God can do
When we need him most, the MRE hero Steve comes out with one of his great videos to give us all hope.
Other than the beef patty, this whole menu might as well have been a dessert plate. The patty didn't work with anything.
As a fellow appreciator of mayo...I think that might be the first time I have seen it in an MRE. Nice.
I like how you're not over critical about the mre's you review. I think it's accurate how a soldier would feel on the battlefield. Good stuff.
Fantastic lineup? I would disagree. To me the items don't have any cohesiveness. That is definitely an MRE I would trade off.
It's gonna be hard to find a 5 year old to eat that crap.
They don't have a nutritional value either. I don't think the US army wants its troops alive at this point.
They include torillas because no one liked the snack bread, which was good. No shame in wrapping a log of meat in a torilla and devouring it. That and the apple spread on the poundcake is probably amazing.
@@raideurng2508yes but they should switch the mayo for salsa. Then it would be perfect
@@cobefriend7797 Agreed, that or BBQ sauce.
Them field beverage looks a lot like antifreeze in my car😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
I always enjoy your videos. I've eaten lunch and dinner with you many times!😊
Crappy packaging, no tabasco, no salt, no pepper, no sugar, no coffee or even tea, no crackers, and LOWFAT mayo... sigh.... :( , At least your videos are good.
Taking the coffee away is a real low blow 😕
@@Mark-lj1djlol yeah they’re grown adults you’re not feeding school children give those soldiers their damn coffee
@@Mark-lj1djthis looks like a plate of junk food with no fiber compared to the Chinese MRE
the "crappy" packaging is a deliberate attempt to reduce the over all volume of the MRE, everything else, I agree with, but I was never a coffee drinker when I was in, so the coffee, creamer, and sugar all wound up in the trash
D.E.I
”No coffee”
Felt that one in my soul
That was an amazing experimentation of flavours and textures! Pure magical.
"Smells like a buttery cheese cracker." Uh, you mean cheez-its? lol
I wonder why they have generic names for obvious name brand foods like Cheez-It's, Corn Nuts, Combos, etc. Yet they use retail packaging for some snacks like Reese's.
I loved watching Steve pretend to not know what a Cheez-it is
@@davesecx Guessing they're able to secure contracts for some licensed snack foods, but not all of them.
I’m convinced Steve does a 72 hour fast before filming these videos.
Big fan bro been watching you since 2018 keep up the good work
“Bro”
🤦🏻♂️🙄🤦🏻♂️
Food gore with junk food lol I can’t believe this is government food
Does this... does this MRE have THREE desserts? No veggies.. it's an entire bag of junk food.
No wonder the army has an obesity problem now
Why are you so triggered by this? You're not the only one, all up and down he thread people are shrieking like the enemy has mimisgendered them in the field because they can't read their they/them gender identity patch?
@@Heike-- It's garbage food and we should have more respect for our servicemembers. Literally took gas station snacks and sold it to the government to give to troops at 10x the price.
@@snarkylive These foods are for active, on the go troops burning thousands of calories a day. They're tested, have nutritionists on the job...and what is with the weird, off comment?

@@snarkylive MREs are meant to be eaten on the go, ready to eat, and something the troops actually want to eat, and surprise surprise, they didn't like the shit they had before and were tossing out half the ration. They might actually eat all of this.
