1992 MRE Ham Slice Vintage Ration Review Meal Ready to Eat Tasting Test
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 вер 2024
- Check out this incredibly well preserved ham slice and other MRE foods, snacks, and beverages of the early 90's! A very retro menu, with exciting finds like a fully intact chocolate covered brownie. You just never see MRE's in this good of condition anymore, as it is all about storage conditions.
This is the most fun I have had with a simple old vintage MRE in a good bit. I hope you enjoy the video and stay tuned for many more extremely well stored vintage MREs of the early-mid 90's!

LET'S GET THIS OUT ONTO A TRAY, NICE™
NICE HISS™
I'LL BE COMING BACK AT YOU WITH SOMETHING NEW OR OLD, ALRIGHT COOL SEE YA™
Steve has literally had every war in his mouth.
That's hot
What a scag bag
No homo
That voice
True
This is the most fun that I've had with a vintage MRE in a good while. Ended up finding a source where they had been stored in an insulated cool room in his basement. The owner had meticulously stored all his MRE's under strictly regulated temperatures for over 25 years. He passed away, and his son sold off his stuff. And I was lucky enough to acquire a part of that collection of vintage MREs. So stay tuned for more in this kind of condition.
Awesome steve!
Nice!
Looking forward to more. Congrats on the awesome find!
Let’s get them out on a tray! Nice!
How often do rations of this age stored in this condition come on the market and how quickly do they sell?
Pretty sure Steve's blood type by now is MRE+
Or Coffee Instant Type 1.
Its common knowledge that his veins are filled with botulisim amd salmonela.
@@jethrobodine8563 - Botulism and Salmonella are actually the names of his two Chihuahuas.
Urine is now almost pure beverage base powder.
@@DiscoScottie we might be on to this guy's back story! XD
*Steve's first child is born*
Doctor: Congratulations, it's a boy.
Steve: Nice, let's get him out onto a tray.
Genuinely laughed at that, thank you. :)

Wish someone thought of me the way Steve thinks of vintage ham
*nice clean ham*
Sodium nitrate does work wonders at preserving this crazy food man
Future archaeologists discover Steve's final resting place and raise his hermetically-sealed vault to the surface. They crack the lid.
"Nice hiss!"
Tums
Steve died 4 years ago. All the preservatives in the food he eats keeps him going.
BOOM!
Smells of.. chemicals and preservatives, but has a small hint of umami as well
Dude, nice one.
Steve at 5 AM: "I'm hungry, better check out the leftovers in the fridge..."
(chooses a 27 year old ration)
"Nice."
lmfao
NICE
Oh Jesus Christ lmao
look at that beauty
*N i C e*
“The slight combination of sleep deprivation, and irrational hunger, has brought me here.”
Man you just described every weekend of mine
And what it took for him to try to eat some of the stuff he has on these...ie some of the old cheese.
You going on the Japanese cannibalism diet?

A terrible brownie that was well preserved was the highlight of his week. This man could not be any more adorable
"Chocolate dirt bar"😂
Steve is husband material. He compliments MREs, imagine how he'd compliment awful home-made cooking..
Chocolate covered track pad
Every single time Steve takes an absence I'm concerned he died.
@@teddyfresh9605 lmfao, yes!
I read somewhere he had botulism , so that could be the case ?
Like where he leaves for a month and then uploads like four videos
He’s here
He is 60 right now, would you believe it?
Seeing Steve cut a piece of ham
>With a spoon
>On a tray held in-hand
>With unbalanced glasses on either side
gave me anxiety
AlibifortheAfterlife Si
Same XD
He has amazing forearm strength. That tray is basically being held in place by a forklift.
@@fossy365 Like most soldiers!
He can handle it though look at them guns 😉😉
I like how for like literally any other UA-camr eating a near 30 year old MRE would be like an insane challenge. But for Steve 1992 is practically fresh.
No reason to qualify it with “practically”. Looking back now, he’s eat food older than many countries.
4 uploads in a month? You spoil us far too much. (Feel free to keep spoiling us though)
Luis Santiago he replied to me 😎
@@BoredAmerican alright "Tech Slop" XD (just playing)
Tech Shop same here! It was pretty great
Steve spoils us like a hot car trunk spoils old MRE's.
Don't spoil us. Please
God do I feel old when I read 1992 and vintage put together.....gees
:-(
Yeah man, I remember eating this mre menu fresh in 92.
1990 bday here. I feel ya my dude

That was my favorite MRE when I was in the Army. Thanks for the memories

Steve was that kid back in school who wouldn't trade his lunch with you,
because he had brought a vintage 1970's Food Packet Long Range Patrol Ration! Nice.
😂
U got me haha
This was one of my favorite MREs back in the day, this and oddly the omlet because the texture was so satisfying. The salt of the ham slice really gave you a jolt of energy and the electrolyte boost you could really feel from a day out in the field. The cocoa beverage powder was the saving grace of many of these meals for as you can see there is very little sugar in this meal and the brownie bar was not only a food of last resort but was often loaded with hard shells. The cocoa beverage powder could be used on its own or combined with the coffee to make a nice field cafe mocha and for the sweet tooth the creamer and sugar packet could be added for an even creamier and sweeter version. You could also forgo the coffee in the cocoa powder, add sugar and creamer and add far less water for a wonderful field pudding. The orange beverage powder always looked like it self florescenced and always though my stomach probably glowed in the dark, it looked quite unhealthy but tasted great, again extra sugar packet could be added to that for an extra kick. The Tabasco was always a bit overpowered in the vinegar department and not so great but boy did it make the less palatable meals like chicken ala king easier to hold the nose and choke down.
I wonder if anyone who works with the companies that put MRE's together watchs these.
Maybe one day Steve will have his own signature line of MRE's.
I hope they call them "Nice!"
FlatBlackCaddy he would make a truly amazing and perfect MRE lol
He's been sent stuff from MRE Star.
The Steve1986 Memorial MRE?
"Nice hiss"
I'm sick in bed and about to have soup...this is the most healing thing I could have asked for. Nice!
The rummaging of plastic triggers my asmr which helps with aches and pains as well. Sciatica is a bch! Hope ya get well, stranger!
Get Well... :) 💐
Haha same, have a cold or something haha
Well wishes, hopefully it'll pass soon!
Steve:
*slaps roof of ham*
Nice ham.
Jifx Steamed ham
This bad boy can fit so many ham.
The fact that Steve KNOWS that clear packaging was used between 90-91 in MRE blows my mind.. This dood knows his shit; always fun to watch.
Seriously his passion and awareness of all the nuances of menu changes and variations is amazing.
You're 100% right! His channel is not only entertaining but also informative. To me anyway, this is what social media should be about, not watching some bimbo get dressed,or an alleged couple perform routine everyday tasks
GUYS GUYS I JUST REALIZED SOMETHING
STEVE IS FROM LAKELAND, FL
*STEVE IS A FLORIDA MAN*
Whenever you hear of a Florida man doing something normal, its steve. It's just steve.
Whowooda thunk
That explains so much & yet so little.
TheLastLighter -
Yeah because eating 40 year old food is normal.
That's what floridians eat, 30 year old MREs.
This was my favorite of the older MRE's. Still remember the 1st Gen MRE's; we used to heat the main courses in radiator grates that we had in our hardened aircraft shelter crew shacks. Note: the old Chicken Ala King made one heck of a mess if the pouch was left in the crates for too long a period.
the slight combination of sleep deprivation and irＲＡＴＩＯＮal hunger, has brought me,
here.
Same
OK " let's get that out onto a tray " "nice" 😁
Ah, the best UA-camr strikes again.
Steve your MRE timeline knowledge is top notch. Love the history lessons man!!
No joke
"I always make poor food choices when I've been awake for a long time"
How long were you awake before you ate the 5 man MRE 1957?
Had that exact meal on a desolate canoe trip. Saved my life hunkered down at a campsite for 2 days during severe thunderstorms. One of the best meals I ever had!
The cocoa tasting description is priceless. 1990s artificiality as comfort food...
Let’s get this out onto a tray
Nice, mmmkay...
Never gets old
It's a classic now 😏
I remember the little bottle of Tabasco. If you got lucky and got one you saved it made every MRE taste so much better.
I lived on MRE’s and canned food for a few months after Hurricane Katrina. I think I still have a few of those little bottles lol.
Steve should really do a Q&A!! I'd be so excited to hear his back story and learn what makes him so interested in MRE's!
I agree
25 year old Columbian MRE...
"Yep.. the cocaine is still good"
Nice ..

Gotta clear the palette of an unexpired MRE with some 27-year-old ham.
Lmfao
Praise be unto spoon , praise spoon almighty forever in it's debt shall we be
I love how he always says "nice, okay" I love these videos
Cute doggo
I literally just found out he makes the music himself and im so impressed
"Hope you liked the video" always sounds so wistful. Hope there's someone around to give you a hug.
I'd definetly give him the biggest hug 😍
hug and Heimlich
I'd hug him ... maybe more 🥰😝
My man Steve1989 blessing us with these uploads. NICE!
I wouldn't call 30fps a blessing :|
Mmm k.
Let's get these uploads out on to a tray....
**I couldn't help myself**
Four in one week - we are not worthy.
Dem arm gains. I found a 1992 brownie on eBay and had to find out how they were. His description is 100%. I hope he got the 1987 beef MRE I sent him
How much did it set you back?
Maybe $25?
“...I mean, that was like, the heyday of MRE crackers.”
- Stevie the young gawww
This was one of the more "liked" rations during that time. My sections Gunner liked them better than all the others so I recall usually giving it to him if I ever snagged this out of the box. Later years the ham slice came in a silver packet which was very exotic HAHA! Keep on with these great reviews Steve, you take us old soldiers and marines right down memory lane.
>Posts FSR 2019
>ends with classic "Something new... or old"
>less than an hour later
>something old
I sense a pattern. Also if you eating breakfast or dinner, always start with the new ration first. Just in case.
That's usually his upload pattern. New then old
that spoon tap tease tho
Steve I've watched you for a while and you've gone from long haired hippy to buff army man. Still a sweetheart though
Steve working as an ER surgeon: “alright, let’s get these bullets out of the patient and onto a tray”
*”NICE”*
Mkay, scalpel!

*opens lungs*
Nice hiss.

@Hot Dogs Your moustache is looking pretty...
*NICE!*
but you're supposed to leave em in
Steve balancing that tray on one arm is one of the most stressful things I've seen today.... Jeeez
Those ham slices were my favorite in Desert Storm in 1991. Hands down.
I've never in my life eaten an MRE but I'm obsessed with these videos!
I swear in every video Steve looks like he's got buffer. Probably all those ancient MRE's!
I wish MREs were common meal replacements. I would literally buy all of my dinners for the year at the beginning of the year.
You can actually buy MREs in variety bulk cases pretty easily.
Rico Gutierrez where at I need some haha
You can afford all of your groceries for the year in one purchase? Holy fuck dude.
NHK LM you wouldn’t shit for most of the year either.
@@tokyosmash Good. Saves on toilet paper!
You don't realise how much information Steve is giving you about MREs. From all eras. There are experts, and then there's Steve at a higher level.
Am I the only one who gets hungry watching Steve's videos? Most of these MREs look delicious. 🤤🤤
No certainly not. Especially the fresh ones and the MRE 🍕!!!! I would eat the crap out of some of them
nah, i am feeling that too.
Ive learnt to have snacks ready ..
Normally to a degree yes. If someone put that luminous yellow mess or even that nasty looking ham in front of me I'd assume they were trying to kill me though. I realise that's what it looked like new, but that just makes it worse.
They were
2 uploads in 1 day and 4 in a month! What a treat Steve! Thank you. I enjoy these videos.
Kids: Dad what's for breakfast?
Steve: 1992 MRE Vintage Ham Slice!
I remember eating stuff like this in the early 2000s. My Dad was in the Army National Guard, so he liked keeping stuff like this around when I was a kid. Brings back memories, seeing those green cocoa beverage packs...
You still alive Steve? We miss you.
Probably in hospital after that beef
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Let's get this out onto a tray
and have some type 2
Nice.

Mkay, Nice.

That Tabasco sauce really sealed the deal
It really tied the meal together
Once again, Steve's making me hungry for something I can't have.
Don't feel too disappointed. I had to eat these back in the day. They were not very good. The modern stuff you can easily buy on Amazon is SO much better.
@@tommylakindasorta3068 True, but there is something so fascinating about being able to taste history.
River Get yourself an old girlfriend (couldn’t resist)😢
I can get these easily directly from Steve. I live only 15 minutes away from him. I have a few MREs from him that he gave to me.
Me too, and I just woke up and this was the first video UA-cam recommended me....
Your voice is so gentle. Bet you kill it with the ladies, also fire content bro
I bet he gets that out onto a tray if you catch my drift
Steve busting a nut on your girl: "Nice!"
LOVE the Kyle Reese photo in the background.
Nice
four uploads in one month ? Christmas came early, nice :)
"A piece of that just fell on the floor..." Sets it aside and resumes eating 27 year old meal...
hahahahahahahha
Wish I was savvy enough to time stamp it. Really made me wonder, "how dirty is Steve's floor?"
He will not eat the PLA's MRE, even if they pay him.
@15:32
TyphaDog - That little piece *was* the one that was on the floor. Steve is a food vacuum.
As I eat dinner thank you Steve 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 you’re the best.
Perfect timing Natty! You are so welcome, and thank you too! Take care and see you around.
People eat peacefully at their tables at night only because rough Steves stand ready to eat bad rations on their behalf
This is the first MRE I ate back in the day! I remember being around 8 years old eating these on the front porch with my dad circa 2000. Thanks for the little nostalgia rush, and great video as usual, Steve!
Steve: I imagine it's going to be hard to find something to do in the middle of the night with sleep deprivation and irrational hunger
Ryan George: Actually it's going to be super easy, barely an inconvenience
Steve: Nice!
I do now like green ham and ham.
Thank you, thank you, Steve-I-Am!
12 minutes after posted there is 4k views! Steve. We love you and your videos!
You guys are all seriously amazing!
These videos are why I like to buy a case of mre's every now and then.
6:21 "Nice hiss" same thing I tell my wife. lol
My grandfather and I always love to see a good MRE from this time period. I love hearing him tell stories of the hobo economy they had created in the camp where he was stationed.
I love to see a good ol’ pair of Steve1989 uploads in my subscription box
All women love Steve in their box!
same. Cozy tv.
@ NICE!
Four videos in the same month! What are you doing Steve! We aren’t worthy!!!
No just that, but 4 in the same WEEK.
New viewer: this guy uploads slow
Regular viewer: HOLD YOUR TONGUE! In these most blessed of times.
@@wasmadeinthe80s I thought it was Christmas or something.
“I have no regrets”. Spoken like a true MRE reviewer!
When Steve is hitting it from the back and says
“Nice”
“Delectable”
“Very lean”
“Very smoky”
"Nice macaroni noises"
“Nice hiss”
“That’s a nice piece of meat”
This is a trip down memory lane. Ham slice, tasters choice, personal tobasco, and no flame less heater. We used to stuff the tasters choice in our lips when we ran out of skoal. Was a nice pick me up.
Bet that ham would of been great diced and mixed into the potatoes
"So let's go for the ham." *Dunks spoon in ham*
Steve, if this is 'bad food choices', please, by all means, continue with your lack of sleep, you seem very happy ^w^
That ham was packed on the 185th day of 1992.
3rd of July 1992. The very day I was born.
Made me smile for some inexplicable reason.
i like to snap my fingers when he says "Nice" its like magic how it appears on the tray.
I always loved those chocolate covered brownies. Around the 1st Persian Gulf war it seems the U.S. Government cornered the market on ham. We ate it 4 times a week.
Watching that Russian dude do mre reviews just isn't the same. I always go looking for the Steve1989 comments and like them.... steve is just, "nice"...
Yeah same like i can't watch the Russian guy do it it's a waste of time he is bad
Racing Prospector I feel like I’m cheating on him if I watch other ration reviewers. Sad, I know. But you all know what I mean. And crazy Russian hacker isn’t even close.
Racing Prospector Steve rules this content. His voice, taste and insight is second to none.
I said it on the Russian dudes channel and I'll say it here. I never miss the Russian dude, but Steve's MREs are so much better.
he's likeable but afraid to try anything.
"An absolute dirt bar..." You kill me Steve! :)
