Guys, we need to start freezing our current MRE's so in 100 years when Steve's reincarnated form Steve2189 starts making MRE videos he'll have vintage ones from our time to enjoy
I care. Lots of others do as well. Ignore that asshat. Tons of people, myself included, watch these for their relaxing comfort value. Hope you're doing okay, UA-cam buddy. Yeah. Cool. See ya.
@@nigeltheoutlaw yep, I lived on mre’s for a couple months after Hurricane Katrina. My familiarity with them is what made me so interested in this channel.
MOST INTERESTING! The RAFCO rep had it right when he said " frozen, they'll last forever". I put those into a freezer in 1996 when I changed homes and they were 3 years old at room temperature at the time. COOL BEANS STEVE!!!
cool indeed man... and useful info for ultra-long term storage. I was wondering how your analysis would work out and am very pleased with the results! You da man dude!! i ate an old ham and cheese omelet last year from the same stock and I thought it was as good as ever... thanks for the confirmation bro...
Did 21 years...retired 4 years ago. My all time favorite was the spaghetti from the early 90s. I think they had Combos (cheese filled pretzels) in them. Not sure. We used to call MREs "Mystery".
Not surprised at the instructions on the Wet Naps, people are morons. For example, Aldi recently had to recall some bag of nuts because it didn't have a specific warning on it that it contains nuts. Yet it was nuts, labeled as nuts, and had pictures of nuts on the bag. True story.
Toolness1 I believe it, same as the lady that won a lawsuit against McDonald’s because their coffee cups did not have a warning saying the beverage may be hot.
Mom would bring home crates of these in the 90's at the marine base we lived. I probably ate a pallet of them and made hundreds of marine cookies with the creamer and match books and had a few cheese ball barrels full of hundreds of spoons and condiment packs. I'd just open the things for cocoa and coffee because they were my favorite. I probably had more MRE meals then regular home made meals that decade and I never gained weight. Ahhh good times good times.
When I saw that this ration had applesauce in it, I knew that would be the most telling factor if the experiment worked. Everything looked as good as the day it was packaged. Great review as usual! Im really excited to see how the others held up being frozen for that long! Hopefully they'll be just as tasty!
I am on my third case… been watching for six years. Killed the first case as they were already older when I got them and then had them for years. Rotated them out with a case of “low sodium ones” but they were older than advertised and bad when I finally tried them. Bought a fresh case of FSRs the other day, gorgeous stuff unless you don’t like tuna. One of 9 was a tester and these are where it’s at. IMHO
Hey Steve, I have been eating MRE's literally forever. my dad was a very bad cook when I was little so I had MRE's and it was the best thing that had entered my life. I have no explanation for why I love eating them so much but I choose them over actual cooked food. Also I just subscribed after about a month of watching your amazing channel and say frosty.
George Merkel I'm aware of that. That's why the original poster said to "sell them cheap" -- then again, I think Banquet has already taken up that market selling cheap frozen foods. Pretty much an MRE that needs to be microwaved.
Wow, I had that one in... 1996! Pork with rice & BBQ sauce is the best MRE menu ever! If somebody would can that stuff and sell it at the grocery store I'd buy it by the case! They never should have discontinued it. Thanks for the video - I could almost taste it again lol
Great video, I am glad to finally see a vintage MRE that was well preserved. I am glad that you like the Ranger Mocha drink. Maybe make some Ranger pudding in the next video.
This was my favorite MRE of all when I was in the military in the mid-90s. It was good hot and it was even good cold. The choices back then were pretty limited. Pork with rice in BBQ sauce was #1 on the list for me though; followed by Chicken Ala King and Tuna Noodle Casserole. The of them all was the Omelet with ham - although I suppose if it was heated, it could be edible - and the corned beef hash.
WOW!!!! That MRE was in great shape for it's age. Hey, when i was stationed in ( West ) Germany I always combined my instant coffee, creamer, sugar and my Hot Coa Coa when i got it with our C-Rats ( MCI ) . I thought I invented " Coff-Coa ". You had me a little scared there when you rolled that Tootsie Roll into a rectal suppository. Thanks for the review.
I have been drinking an “army mochaccino” every morning for over six years now, thanks to Steve. FTR, Nesquik powder > hot cocoa powder, and bought in bulk, is competitive in price.
Steve is the coolest, he has the time and resources to enjoy cool old rations. Thanks for the videos, i look forward to them everyday, your one unique dude!! 😎
Jesse Pinkman Informative they are and I have to say it's pretty cool seeing him discover and talk about this stuff. And this is just food not too different from regular food with two differences. 1. They are old really 2. Made for the military
Got some I bought almost 20 years ago, pretty much same as these. Been sitting in 4 different garages since. I don’t have near the confidence in opening them now. But storing new ones in a freezer, great idea.
love his passion for these units. the only experience Ive had with any MREs were this type from the mid 90s in JROTC. it's fascinating they can preserve food and pack everything so nicely into a bag like this.
Awesome, that was my favourite MRE back in 93, 94. I loved it. Oh I have not seen you do this yet. When you get a mre with freeze dried peaches, mix them with the creamer and sugar. Used to call it peaches and cream..
You brought up something really cool in this one besides the food: Wet Naps! Something about the way they were folded and that fresh lemon smell. The good news is that you can still get them! Really lucky that MREs were apparently designed to be frozen.
Well done Steve, always clear concise and to the point. I always warning your MRE taste tasting videos. Your descriptions are perfect, continue the good work.
As Peter Brady would say: "Pork chops...and applesauce"! Seriously though, this is absolutely amazing! As fun/interesting/repulsive as it is to open an old MRE or other ration to see what kind of condition it's in (and to revel in how bad some of them end up being), it's really incredible that you've gotten a chance to try out some MREs that are well over 20 years old! I didn't think any such thing even existed. It's too bad there isn't a giant warehouse somewhere filled with vintage frozen MREs. I've always felt a little bad for the old brown baggers (and early tan ones as well) because they already have such a bad reputation. When you see one opened now it just goes to reinforce how "bad" people think they really were. While 80s-early 90s MREs were definitely less appetizing than a lot of the stuff they put out these days (after decades of constant improvements and tinkering with the menus and the improvements in the science behind the food preparation) it still seems unfair to do a straight up comparison between an old one and a modern one, since the old one has the obvious disadvantage of, well, being OLD. When I did my reviews of a couple 10 year old Cheese and Veggie Omelet meals a while back I felt bad because they were even worse than they should have been because of the age factor. There seemed to be no way to do a fair review of them because there was no way to experience a "fresh one". But now you've managed to basically go into a time machine and review a FRESH (ish) MRE that's been extinct for years! I mean, how freaking cool is that?!? Can't wait to see the rest! Sorry for the long rambling comment, but I feel like I've just witnessed an important moment in ration history!
+gschultz9 This review actually made me remembered your frozen and rough handled MRE experiment a while ago and I was wondering what will happen to that MRE if you left it in a fridge and let it sit for fifteen years. lol
+佐井トラね子 I was thinking about that too. This really demonstrates what's good and bad about freezing MREs. While you're not supposed to "rough handle" them while frozen, and while I believe it is a bad thing to put them through multiple freezing and thawing cycles, if they're simply frozen and left in that state it's obviously the perfect way to preserve them indefinitely!
Probably most preserved mre in the world and probably the oldest mre where everything was still edible.That was an amazing video.I might start freezing mres after this.
In awe, you're a total legend Steve 🏆🏆 My grandad was in the RAF during ww2. Shot down over enemy territory. Can't imagine my him tootin' on speed. My Dad was in REME in the British army for 22 years, my brothers in the RAF between 2001 and present. My paternal grandfather and great grandfathers in ww1. Feel like I'm getting an idea of the orp's they've 'enjoyed?'
This made me wonder if there were any cases of rations from the cold war period waiting in the Arctic and Antarctic regions. Sitting patiently, in perfect order, to be discovered by MRE hunters?
my favorite one so far, also NEVER stop saying nice or looking good or anything else when switching to the tray. it makes the video perfect. :) Liked and subbed
It's a slow transformation, though. Look hard at this video, Steve has just lost the hair on his arms, and his guns aren't swole up yet. It took until 2018 for the hair in his head to shorten up. He may never stop transforming! It is up to us to witness these chronicles of how eating old MREs changes Steve's life in ways no one can predict...
Hey Steve, I am hooked on watching your vids and have now subscribed to RC Gusto, Kiwi Dude, Gchultz9 and a few others you've mentioned. Thank you for the vids they bring back so many memories of trying C-Rations and MRE's that family would bring home to me. Another thing your videos have done is inspired me to find a Fred p38 someplace other than Ebay "been burned on ebay" I saw the Fred in your CR1M review, never knew they existed until then lol. Anyway thank you and keep on doing what you love dude!
I'm so glad they made directions on wet naps. Last time I used one I didn't read them and ended up starting a fire and my head got stuck between a fence.
I've almost got a museum of KFC wet wipes dating back 40 years, the ones of the last 10 years smell like shit, they smell of pure chemicals, the ones of even 20 years ago small so damn good, and 30 years, wow pure heaven. It's a shame how the quality of everything over the past 20 years has turned to shit.

It is just weird when you don't say "Nice" after placing it all on the tray the first time.

It scared me
I wasn't the only one who noticed that lol.
Kind of weird, but if you think about it that pig in the rice died 20 years ago lol

even worse is that all the meat he's eating is older than half of his viewers

my favorite one so far, also NEVER stop saying nice or looking good or anything else when switching to the tray. it makes the video perfect. :) Liked and subbed
Why were you eating MREs at 8 years old? Lol just curious.
dudeitskory Why weren't you?
lol steve needs a graphic novel depicting his origin story
When he was 8, he was bitten by a spider in a vintage C Ration. Then, he became STEVE, the hero we all really need.
I got into my father's MREs when i was about 4yrs old.
It's a slow transformation, though. Look hard at this video, Steve has just lost the hair on his arms, and his guns aren't swole up yet. It took until 2018 for the hair in his head to shorten up. He may never stop transforming! It is up to us to witness these chronicles of how eating old MREs changes Steve's life in ways no one can predict...
Hey Steve, I am hooked on watching your vids and have now subscribed to RC Gusto, Kiwi Dude, Gchultz9 and a few others you've mentioned. Thank you for the vids they bring back so many memories of trying C-Rations and MRE's that family would bring home to me. Another thing your videos have done is inspired me to find a Fred p38 someplace other than Ebay "been burned on ebay" I saw the Fred in your CR1M review, never knew they existed until then lol. Anyway thank you and keep on doing what you love dude!
Wet naps are available at Walmart in Canada. Same as Shown.
I'm so glad they made directions on wet naps. Last time I used one I didn't read them and ended up starting a fire and my head got stuck between a fence.
You should review a North Korean ration... Oh.
Simon Richard the North Koreans don't get rations lol. Their not allowed to eat !
the presence of the glorious leader should be enough for them to survive, there ain't no food dawg :D
They're expected to win before dinner or die on the way
entree is tree bark, main course is rat stew with vegetables fertilised with human feces

Steve is hilarious, you literally can hear his emotions has he’s about to take a bite . Lol 😂 love this guy
Buy a ton of MREs, send to south pole. Never need power..
@CIA BETA Wing what do you think is in the MRE?
Man, amazing that this MRE lasted in such quality!
I've almost got a museum of KFC wet wipes dating back 40 years, the ones of the last 10 years smell like shit, they smell of pure chemicals, the ones of even 20 years ago small so damn good, and 30 years, wow pure heaven.
It's a shame how the quality of everything over the past 20 years has turned to shit.
The cheaper the ingredients, the worse the product, generally speaking.
Blame people like Obama
The tray is epic!!!! I got one just because of this guy!!
When you eat an animal that has been dead for more than twice it's lifespan.
I remember having this exact menu of MRE back when my dad and I used to hunt. Thanks for the memories.
