Old MRE Chicken VS New MRE Chicken
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 вер 2024
- Join me in comparing the menus of an 18 year old Chicken MRE with a brand new Chicken MRE. We try all the sides and even find a new side I have not seen before.
Have they improved the new menu or should they have stayed with the old one?
Find out with me and Ace Videos.
I love seeing these mre videos
I am happy to put them out there for y'all! TFW
Yeah once every month.
Yeah I love the videos to
Chris, I have an idea. You should publish videos and have another business on the side. I am looking forward to your content! TFW!@@chrisshepherd6878
@@chrisshepherd6878if you have a problem with that than stop watching and commenting on his videos being a jerk
I always love watching these videos and you always remind me of my grandfather a very positive and fun person
As an Opa 10 times now, I am happy to bring back good memories of your grandfather. TFW!
One of my favorite channels ever!Thanks for the entertainment!
I always drop what I’m doing to watch you, ace and Micah’s videos.
You are very kind to watch all of us. TFW, as always!
As soon as you opened this, I got nervous. My only hope and prayer is one of these meals doesn’t make you sick. Thanks again for sharing. God Bless.
Eric, no sickness yet........
I really do appreciate that you sent all those boxes. That was a lot of expense and time to go thru. I trust you received your AceVideos BackPack.......
@@MeAncient yes sir and I use it everyday. I’m happy to hear that you haven’t experienced any issues with the MRES and I hope that continues to be the case. My wife and I are planning to be on Maui in late October of this year and I am really hoping that Ace and yourself will be in the area. It would be an honor to meet you both. As always, God Bless and thank you again for all the “shout-outs” in your videos!
If we head that way, I'll let you know, Eric. That would be good to meet up.@@ericlucksted6616
Good comparison video. I've had the newer "Chicken Chunks" MRE entree. Reminded me of cheap canned chicken.
I thought the chicken was well seasoned. TFW, Lance.
I am really enjoying your videos. Love how you go into detail with everything.
Awesome video love seeing these mare's 👋👍😍🤗
Glad you enjoyed, Joan. TFW!
I believe (but I could be wrong) that the gum has Xylitol as a sweetener in it. Any sweetener ending in -ol is going to be a sugar alcohol. Sorbitol, Erythritol, Glycerol, etc. The reason they use Xylitol instead of sugar is that it does not promote tooth decay and can actually prevent tooth decay a little. So for field soldiers that might not be able to take care of their teeth regularly or properly, it helps their dental health. Any sugar alcohol will have a very small effect on your digestion (helping to move things along) but not a huge effect.
Always great videos on this channel. Keep them coming.
Thanks, will do! TFW
Oooo!!! Thanks for sharing, sir!
It is my pleasure, Kristen. TFW, as always.
Excellent review and view!!!!!
Thank you kindly, Eltenda! TFW
I think, of all the MRE's I've consumed, the older chicken one was the most underwhelming of them all. not much for flavor unless you mixed the chicken in the soup. Thank you for another great video brother!
"Underwhelming." That's a good word for it, even when it was new. TFW!
Awsome videos as always, enjoy your time there!
Tks to you and we are, for sure. TFW, Perry Family!
the chicken chunks that comes with the buffalo sauce is one of My favorite MRE's, along side the beef patty and tacos
I've heard that. TFW!
Eric from Alaska is a legend! Great video as always!
Couldn't agree more! TFW, Kris!
AWW SHUCKS! You’re making me blush! LOL
I’m honored to be able to contribute. As soon as I watched the first video, I was hooked. Thank you
The matches are for improvised espionage on the enemy 💥
Or for the enemy to locate us? TFW!
I love these comparison videos awesome review how are you and the family doing Sir
We are doing well, thank you for asking. I trust you and yours are doing well. TFW, as always!
Its awesome you can work with your dad. I work with my dad as well, its a special treat we dont recognize, im thankful.
Yes indeed! We are truly blessed. TFW
that view is amazing
It is something to take in, for sure. TFW!
I've had the mre Gatorade and you're pretty thankful for it when you had water that you boiled from a lake
Again. Theese videos. Both yours, Aces, and Mikas. Are all incredible. Really talented and good people. Much love from Norway. Keep the videos coming. ( Also you ACE :( ).
I'll pass that on to Ace and TFW all of our channels.
I get excited everytime I see you upload, I really enjoy story time aswell keep up the awesome content. big fan of your channel 👍🏼
Glad you like them! I enjoy putting them out when I can get the time, for sure. TFW
I was wondering when another video would post, and here it is! Always enjoy watching and listening to your comments, Me Ancient. I agree with you, jalapeño ketchup, (which I've never heard of either), and chicken, don't sound very appealing to me. I was impressed with how good the marbled cake looked, with the ample amount of chocolate visibly inside of it. Great to see Mr. M&M, a.k.a. Asa, with you again. God bless you both, and keep more of 'em heading our way!
More to come! If the soup had been edible, I planned on adding some chicken to the soup. However........ TFW!
I'm hungry and excited when I eat too! Brothers from different mothers 😂🎉. Great vid!
Thank you 😋. Are we sad, or is it normal for others? TFW
@MeAncient Not sure what "normal" is. I've always prided myself on being unique. Or, as my Dad says of me, having the tendency of "Defying Gravity". 😅
Minestrone can be the beat soup if made with fresh vegetables. Tomatoe base with beans and Zucchini. Yum yum.
you remind me of my grand dad Harvie Mack Downing. He served the US nave and was a military Vet. Lost him in 2011, i found out my local story sells MRE's so i plan to eat one in honor of his service. he was 72 when he died
As a 10 times over Opa (German for grandfather), I appreciate that I remind you of your grand dad. Enjoy the MRE in honor of Harvey Mack Downing. TFW, Jack!
That new chicken mre is really good.
I just put everything except the m&ms and the pound cake into the tortillas.
Great crunch and flavour. :)
Im really enjoying binge watching all the videos Ive missed.
Great review again. :)
Hope you enjoy. Looks like you are. TFW, as always.
This new use to come with a big package of frank red hot buffalo sauce and it was so good love it in the field
What a Gorgeous view! Man y’all sure do know how to love life! Enjoy!
Marcel, It is quite a place! TFW and we will enjoy! Asa just caught a barracuda tonight! He'll have a video on that when he has time for the editing.
@@MeAncient did y’all eat it? I hear good and bad things about eatin cuda. Either way awesome!!
I love it when you post videos! Love you Me Ancient! Love you Ace!
Glad you like them! We enjoy providing fun content, for sure. TFW
Good review there Shipmate! I gotta stop watching you late at night, you are making me hungry! lol. Thanks Again!, vr, S
Shannon, kind of like watching the Food Network at night. It'll keep a guy on the heavy side, me thinks. TFW, as always!
We have jalapeño ketchup here in Texas. Whataburger is a Texas burger place with regular and spicy ketchup
I'll be dawged! TFW!
"What's minestrone?" Holy shit I hope that's sarcastic.
You know, it wasn't at the time. I couldn't remember to save my life. It's funny 'cause I used to make it from scratch when I was in the cafeteria business prior to my USMC days. I believe it's called, "getting old." TFW!
@@MeAncient CRS Syndrome.... "Can't Remember S***". 😅
@@MeAncientCarry on, good sir.
@@MeAncient Carry on, good sir.
Another cool mre comparison and a nice story, thanks Me Ancient 🙂
Glad you enjoyed it! I'll try and keep 'em coming! TFW, Srijan!
I had a similar one recently but it surprisingly just had regular starkist brand chunked chicken in a pouch you would buy from the store. I believe it had BBQ sauce instead of the fat free mayo which I was happy about.
I did a review on an MRE w/Starkist brand Tuna in a pouch. It was a vegetarian MRE. TFW!
Very interesting! I have the exact older menu MRE sitting in my closet. A former co worker's brother was in the 82nd Airborne and served in Iraq. One day my co worker shows up with a box of MRE's that his brother supposedly gave him and I ended up with the No 5 chicken breast. Haven't opened it and have been considering doing so.
I'd eat it soon, based on my experience on this one. TFW, John!
They actually have even newer MRE's that come with a clear backing and some slight changes to the menus, it's crazy how much better a new MRE can taste
The international MREs can be good as well.
@@MeAncient I haven't had the chance to try any but I'm stationed in Germany right now so hopefully I'll get to try some different kinds when I go on mission
It would be fun to get other country's MREs while you are in Germany and anywhere else you might get to in Europe. TFW!@@1tal1ansubm1ke
Id recommend adding the water first and slowly stir in the powder that should help with the clumping
Good idea, Frank. TFW!
You didn't add enough water to the lemon lime drink. That's why the extra powder didn't dissolve. You can only get a certain amount of powder to dissolve into a given volume of water. That's just chemistry. And it's supposed to taste like Gatorade. You can't really make it taste stronger by not adding the right amount of water. You can only dilute the flavor by adding too much.
There you go......TFW
Went ahead and liked the video while the ad is still playing.
Rooster, you are too kind. I hope you ended up really enjoying it. TFW
@@MeAncient Yes it was another good one of course. I absolutely love this channel and Ace is always trying to steal only the dessert. 😂. When it’s got candy I always look for Aces hand to sneak into the picture.
I love the chicken mres 😋🤩🤩
I liked the new one best, for sure. TFW
Just an outsider's point of view. They may put the matches in so you can start a small fire in your canteen cup stove to heat up water for your coffee/hot chocolate or to heat up the mains in the reason?
Clarence, it could be. We, however, were not issued any type of stove when I was active duty ('80 - 84). We did get Sterno cans from time to time with which to heat up our meals. TFW
Matches and coffee depend on if you get accessory pack A or B. A comes with coffee, creamer, sugar and sugar substitute with no matches. B comes with matches but no coffee, creamer, and sugar
Well there you go......I appreciate the clarification. I'll have to watch for that from now on. TFW!
Some of the MRE chewing gum is sweetened with xylitol sweetener some people are sensitive to xylitol and it can work like a laxative.
I read an article about that as well. It said that xylitol could have a mild laxative effect on some people. TFW, Morris!
Its not to often that both meals are almost literally the same it all looked pretty dry and plain to me compared to some other meals you have done and id say u probably made the right call on the old soup its a shame because that may have been rhe best part of the meal aside from the m&ms they should have given some BBQ sauce with one of the meals it may have paired a little better with the chicken dishes. But as always another great video keep up the good work i cant wait for the next one
Danny, The chicken would have been a good addition to the soup, if it was back in the day when the MRE was newer. TFW, as always!
Hearing about the medical stuff you said it recalled me a doubt i had the other day, on the military, how they dealt with minor sicknesses like a cold or flu? you had to endure it or they gave some medicine and treatment?
That’s ridiculous, of course you can seek medical care. There’s medics attached to every unit who can deal with issues more immediate. The more complex stuff, they’ll send a medic driver to get you to a hospital (or the base hospital). You’re supposed to show up to work even when sick some units though, and if they deem you too sick, will send you to the medics. I suspect that’s probably changed with COVID though. Other units, you have to show up to base hospital at 6am for “sick parade”. Then the docs decide if you’re ok, or get sent home/to barracks and ordered bed rest for x number of days…
Thanks for the video again chief hello to the family and hope the side business goes well 👍 TFMTV lol😊
Ryan.
Side business is going great. Thanks for asking. You are welcome for making the video! TFW!
Need to heat the tortillas up at the same as the main. It will help soften them up.
Michael, good idea. I'll try to remember that. TFW
I think the 2018 chicken chunk was the best, no FRH but it had buffalo sauce and cheese.
Now that sounds good. I love me a bbq chix sandwich. TFW
Whenever you're making a powdered drink, if there's still chunks that means you need nore water. You tend to be a little stingy on the water as well lol
Good observation. I am a little stingy on the water from time to time. TFW, Adam
Great video again. Love the view. I like yall have never heard of jalapeño ketchup, you are brave man.
You are very kind to call that 'brave.' Others might have a different name for someone who tries 18 year old ketchup......just saying. TFW
"Chicken Spam" ...... No greater ad slogan could there be!
Maybe someone will want to hire me to develop their brand slogans.....I won't hold my breath. TFW!
Nice comparison video again.
This may sound a bit imprecise, but when kcal is marked on packages, it means kilocalories, which is 1000x more than calories, so if the package says 180 kcal, it means 180 kilocalories (i.e. 180,000 calories), not 180 calories. Normally, a person working in an office consumes around 2,500 kcal during the day, which is 2,500,000 calories.
Carry on.
There you go. Thank you for the pointer, Morris. TFW!
I would like to see a beef n reef mire not sure if they make them you might have combined a beef mire and seafood mire ? Love you videos 💓💓
I've reviewed an Italian MRE that had squid in its own ink, but not both beef and seafood. Good idea, though. TFW
I've seen some videos of the Chicken chunks coming with BBQ sauce, so maybe if your lucky/unlucky you get that instead of the mayo, like ration roulette
It was always 'ration roulette' when it came to getting food in the USMC. We were not given too many choices and we never got to pick which MRE we got. There was always lots of trading going on after rations were issued. TFW, Andrew.
Eric is the man!
Indeed! TFW
Do one with a newer devil dog sometime.... do a swap...
That's a good idea. Perhaps I could head over to Le Jeune and find a Marine subscriber who would be interested in doing just that. TFW!
We knew him. Haha kidding. Love these videos
I'm still alive and kicking. TFW!
MRE gum is made with sugar alcohols - xylitol these days. It's meant as an oral hygiene-friendly replacement for sugar, though in larger quantities, or for sensitive people, it can act as a laxative. The amount in 2 pieces of gum isn't enough to cause problems most of the time, but the gum is best avoided if you're already "moving quickly". Trade it for more TP.
Great analysis! Thanks for that and TFW!
Nothing like watching one of these videos over lunch. And yes, fat free mayonnaise is not mayonnaise, I rather eat less of it than fat free one. I liked the fact the (edited "the") main, the chicken, hold up well over the years, too bad for the other components in the old MRE, but multiple ingredients in a cheese or a sauce, or the cake, is bound to bring trouble, the simpler the better...
Joao, TFW! I appreciate your observations.
Zaczynam oglądać 👍🏼
Dzięki za kolejny odcinek! Pozdrawiam 🤙🤙🤙
I hope you enjoyed the video. TFW!
@@MeAncientSuper odcinek. Jak każdy. Pozdrawiam 🤙🤙🤙
The things I'd do for an ocean side view 😢
I’m looking at a case of MRE’s on mountain house from 2023 for $165.00,is that a fair price?
I don't know about fair prices. Just be sure you shop around. TFW

I had to get him to cease fire on the peanut M & M s......TFW!
Thank you for doing that hungry 😅
The MREs always taste better when hungry. I believe that 's why I usually enjoyed them when active duty....I was always hungry by the time we got to eat. TFW, Maxim!
I don’t know if anybody told you, but there was something dark that come out of your mayonnaise when you were emptying the package under the tray
I missed that, Buba. I'll have to go back and take a look. TFW!
The white on chocolate is called bloom.
What causes that, do you know? TFW
i prefer m&ms over peanut m&m's.. i love how tortillas have become a more norm in modern mre's... the modern drink mix looks like he's drinking something out of starship troopers
They have made some things better, for sure. TFW
I used to have an iron belly but not I can't do spice no more after my last birthday 😢
Dwayne, there comes a time for all of us, my friend. TFW!
@MeAncient hey! Thanks for the reply! Love these vids!
Ah the newer mre chicken is the canned stuff you can buy, use it for chicken salad sandwiches. Just add mayo salt pepper. Old guilty pleasure
Maybe a few pickles for some crunch? Sounds delicious. TFW
To bad they dont have a website where there like discounts or something i wanna try some are pretty expensive and the newer one shave garbage bioengineering in it gotta get old ones !
Do a search on MREs. I have found them online at all different price points and ages. TFW, Andrew.
Put that cheese in cooking bag w main and the texture will be better
Good idea. I'll have to try that. TFW
What was the mre you liked the most 🤔🤔🤔
Richard, I'm going to have to look into that. Perhaps I'll go over my MRE videos and come up with my favorite.......TFW!
The gum is sweetened with xylitol, which has laxative like effects
Xylitol, sorbitol, manitol......all the same.
I have never seen jalapeno ketchup in all my years and never seen chicken with minestrone🤔guess the Army said use the ancient stock first.😬
It was new to me as well. TFW
You may need to light a fire, so of course they include matches.
There you go.....TFW
That older cheese and ketchup looks like it had time to oxidize over the years.
It sure didn't look right. TFW
I like the mms with just the chocolate inside cuz some of my teeth are jagged broke so I can't eat the ones with the nuts in them but love the mre videos
I can understand that!
thx for the times
As Bob Hope would say, "Thanks for the memories." TFW
I love cheese-its.
I’m so hungry
Scott, get you some MREs! TFW
I never was a fan of the chicken MRE. I totally avoided it. It was so devoid of flavor, the British would love to eat them...😂
Scott, now let's be nice........ Some of the Brits who watch the channel might agree, based on their comments on other videos. TFW!
they should put matches in them. you might need or going to have to go primitive ways
That's very true. You never know. TFW
Well from where we came from c rats to the older one I think its a big improvmemt but chicken m.r.e just never did it for me
Tom, it is a little light on volume, I think. TFW, as always
2021=2024 hit n miss / if i remember right caption country chicken tasted like a sponge
As in, 'it tastes like whatever it was cooked in', or as in, 'it has the texture of a sponge?' TFW, Nathan.
