No doubt the worse MRE so far. Egg & Cheese and Veggies Omelette. Other items include Jam, Crackers, Spiced Apple Drink, Red Hots Candies, and Apple Strudel Pastry. See which items are edible.....
The best description I've ever heard for how the "vomlette" looks coming of the bag is that is resembles shiny spray foam insulation. Hope you and Asa are having a great day! Great video.
Ah, the legendary vomelet. Good thing that it tastes just as good as if it was fresh. Lucky you. 😀. It is said that the side dishes are all quite good to compensate for the main. Thank you for taking one for the team and recording it for us. Cheers.
If you want to heat multiple things, put one in the heater bag like you did. Put the other on the outside of the bag, sandwiching the heating pad. Cram the whole thing in one of those empty boxes. That's how I used to do it. Of course all the heat in the world won't help the vomlette....but you might be able to better heat your other meals.
The red hots are a rare find! Good on you for trying this beast, welcome to the fraternity of those that have survived it... if you can't get both packs in the frh, stick the other on the outside and cram it into one of the boxes.
Hey guys, another great and very enjoyable video. I heard myself shout "NO!", when I saw the size of the bite of the vomelet, that you were getting ready to sample. Poor Asa, is saying, "don't do it, don't do it"!!, LOL! I'm surprised that the strawberry jam was edible, it looked pretty dark, but, glad it was okay. I really look forward to these videos, since it's just like Forrest Gump, ya never know what yer gonna get!! Keep 'em comin' guys, God bless!
Indeed, Eric. I'm having a great time with them. I'll probably try a different type next time, just FYI. I have an Italian MRE I've been wanting to throw down. TFW, as always. And thanks for the MRE cases!!!!!
@@MeAncient My Dad is a Vietnam vet. You remind me a lot of him. You seem to be a true gentleman and an all around good person. I couldn’t think of a better guy to send those to. The first video of your’s that i watched, I was hooked. Tell Ace to stop being so pessimistic! LOL. (Kidding, I watch his videos religiously also). Thanks for your service and I can’t wait to see the next one. Hopefully the Italian MRE is spaghetti and garlic crackers!
Brave or stupid I’m not sure 🤔 but that egg and cheese vomit inducing main looked green to me I was shouting at the screen don’t eat it don’t eat it but hey, semper fi marine and greetings from the uk 🇬🇧 love watching your MREs 👍
Like I said, old age plays tricks on your mind. I'm not very confident that they were soft when I was younger, but it seemed like the centers were a bit chewier than the outsides. TFW!
I appreciate the thought, but I'm afraid I am running out of my own Marine Corps stories and will have to start relating other's stories soon. TFW, M. Jones!
My son and I got a good laugh out of that. The omelets from the MREs in the late 90s got me through many training ops in Oki. I was a Marine infantryman from 93-13. I appreciate most your Christian faith and outward expression of your faith. God bless you and your family.
Blaine, thank you for that. Semper Fi, my fellow Devil Dog. What was your MOS? I was a 2621. Manual Morse Intercept Operator. They don't even do that any more. No reason. TFW
0311 & 0369… Started in Pendleton with 2/9. We closed their colors in 94 and we’re re-designated 2/4. Worked at the School of Infantry, embassy duty, then off to Lejeune (2/2, 24th MEU, and 2d MarDiv) for a few vacations to Iraq, the Horn of Africa and Afghanistan. I heard you mention you were in Beirut…much respect. 🫡
Thankfully, that omelet did not make it past the tongue & taste test. If it had, we would all be nervously waiting for the next Me Ancient video to see if our host is OK.
Thanks for the info I know not to buy the Vomit and cheese in MRE’s! You and your son are a blessing to us! Love the channel. The few the proud! The Marines!
Brajan, I enjoy filming in my yard and around the property. However, inside the house only happens if outside conditions will not allow an outdoor video. TFW, my friend!
I think I have one of these 🤣🤣🤣 I don’t think I want to try it great review love watching your videos and hearing your stories continue the awesome job you inspire me to get back at doing reviews I’ll probably do one or two by the end of the week
Me ancient is Walter White if he were militarized and never got cancer HAHA love the videos man. my great grandfather was a ranking general and served in WW2, Korean, and Vietnam war. i love all of my veterans. thank you for your service.
Found the bouncing betty interesting, good that at least some of the mre was still edible and not like last time. Thanks for the story and the video Me Ancient 🙂
Thanks for your service. I love these vids. I used to eat mres all the time.my uncle had a ton in his basement. I actually love the taste of some of them...and the crackers are the best.
I served in the Navy as a Chief Petty Officer, serving as a 27 year veteran as a Chief of mess Operations on a large nuclear aircraft carrier, I served up to 15,000 meals 3 meals everyday from everything from morning breakfast to mid-rats meals at mid night. my food prepared was a lot better and nutritious than anything you would find in MRE's that the average Marine would chow on.
Chief, you are THE man, in my estimation. All Navy chow I ever had the chance to eat on any craft I was ever stationed or any Navy base I ever visited was OUTSTANDING!!! Much better than USMC chow. And yet, I lover chow in our chow halls as well. But Navy food was simply the best. Thank you for your years of service and TFW!
Ah yes, the classic vomelette, these came out while I was in, and the main usually got chucked when you got one. Sad part is it looks exactly like they did fresh too
Loved the bouncing betty story! In call of duty, they have single bouncing bettys that you place on the ground and when someone passes by it, it shoots that "ball" 4 feet in the air and explodes
6:15 Bouncing mines were a thing too, not sure if the CoD ones are accurate, but the "frogs" were definitely used in ww2 and other versions of them later on.
Yes. The original 'bouncing Betty' was originally designed to bounce across the water like a surface torpedo and slam into a dam, causing a breach and subsequent flood. Interesting to google that and see what comes up. TFW!
Wiki says.... "The German S-mine (Schrapnellmine, Springmine or Splittermine in German), also known as the "Bouncing Betty" on the Western Front and "frog-mine" on the Eastern Front, is the best-known version of a class of mines known as bounding mines. When triggered, these mines are launched into the air and then detonated at about 1 meter (3 ft) from the ground. The explosion projects a lethal spray of shrapnel in all directions. The S-mine was an anti-personnel mine developed by Germany in the 1930s and used extensively by German forces during World War II. It was designed to be used in open areas against unshielded infantry. Two versions were produced, designated by the year of their first production: the SMi-35 and SMi-44."
I'm laughing at the comparison I just happened upon. The camera guy telling you not to eat that since it's old. Straight after I finished watching Steve1989MREInfo eat a civil war hardtack.
We had a ton of these style/era MRE's during the 04'-05' hurricane season down in Florida. Didn't have power for almost a month. Marine engineer corps brought us boxes of MRE's and tarped all rooftops in the neighborhood that desperately needed it. I remember no one ate this one. The only one I remember eating was spaghetti and the fake rib mystery meat. Those weren't too bad.
I missed this video when you uploaded it somehow, glad I found it as I was very interested to see the legendary vomlette! The story about the bouncing Betty's sent a shiver down my spine, what a terrible weapon! You are a braver person than me, although I would have tried the crackers and jam, I wouldn't have even sniffed that vomlette lol. Great review again! :)
Bouncing Betty is a Nickname that originated In WW2 from a German mine that when set off would launch itself waist high and detonate, the Brit’s gave it another Nickname called the De-Bollocker. The thing you Showed is Known as a Cluster munition or a Cluster Bomblet in military terms, the bomblet is deployed by a Cluster Bomb which you showed in a Picture. Also love the Vid’s hope the next one is good.
Redhots have been a tiny bead of cinnamon hard sugar candy them they pan around it with the harder/waxy/coating. Like around jelly beans. But I know what you mean about them getting soft and chewy at the end. Lemonheads and a couple others are all made by panning. Its fascinating to watch. Oh I remember Boston baked beans are made by panning. I sure miss eating those.
I dunno, maybe I'm weird but I didn't mind the veggie omelette when I was active duty. It may not have aged well, but when you're starving in the field it's sure better than nothing.
My friend joined the Canadian Princess Patricia's (Paratroopers) in 1975, and they trained in the Georgia swamps for a while. He described the bouncing Betty as a sinister explosive, because it was meant to castrate a man and not really kill him right away. They did explode at waist height, about 3 feet up and shot out shrapnel for around a 60 foot diameter.
Funny how you were explaining the bouncy bettys cause I had the same reaction as Ace for all Call of Duty fans out there there was a bouncy Betty in the game but it was round I mean they call things differently as well because in other versions they’re called proximity mines but really cool to know I didn’t not know of such thing which is really awesome thanks for the knowledge Me Ancient 💪🏽
Martin, the real history and use of these 'anti personnel' weapons is really sobering. I understand, believe me, that the purpose of war is to break things and kill people, but the reality and experience is something altogether different when meditating on it. I appreciate your following along. TFW!
@@MeAncient yes 100 percent when I was in boot camp we learned alot about military history and one of the thing I learned has stuck with me all these years later believe it was Eleanor Roosevelt who said it don't quote me but it was. Freedom has a flavor and price the protected shall never know
That 'weird smell' is probably the same weird smell when they were fresh. I had to eat a few of the #4's back in 2007/2008. Smelled like old farts when you opened them back then as well.
The 2006 Veggie Omelet and the 2008 Veggie Omelet have two completely different menus The 08 version has a Cinnamon Scone and Milk and Blue Berries. Also Chocolate Protein Powder.
Well, you recommended I come watch the Vomlet video..and that menu is exactly how it looked and (tasted) in the 1990's my friend. My strategy was to liquify the main portion and guzzle it down. We were given
The hash browns we're the best part of that. If you were late to chow you had endless vomlettes and endless vomlettes meant endless hash browns. It looked 16 years old when it was "fresh" Bon appetit and Semper Fi.
It's sad that someone bought the mre. A Long time a go. And never ate it . What a waste of money. Be for 3 to 5 years. It should have been consumed. Good video. God bless. From Glenn CATT in Massachusetts.
Jennifer....sometimes people buy them for food storage for 'just in case' scenarios. When they don't have to eat them, they are happy there were no scenarios in which it was necessary to eat them. Think of buying term life insurance....you have it hoping you never have to use it but it's there if you 'exit stage left' before you have things ready financially for your family if you were to die. You don't plan on any lasting value, just value if you must use it. Hope that makes sense. TFW, as always!
You have two sons, Asa and Mike? And, what is your first name? I saw Ace's and Mike's video channels...they are very good too. Looks like maybe you taught them some survival skills.
OMG that was hilarious 😂 We warned you about the deadly omelet. Didn't care for the 5 fingers of death either aka frankfurters. Be aware of the beef teriyaki. Ate one before a Chinook flight and had to vomit in my ACH. Btw, I'm in the aviation field so I fly all the time. It wasn't flight sickness.
@@-a-strikelures1212 Do you have somewhere on line that you sell the jerkbaits? I have everyone send things to Ace Videos mailbox..... Ace Videos P.O. Box 16893 Bristol, VA 24209 Around where we live, silver and black seem to be good colors, if you are wondering. Thank you for thinking of us.

The bigger one I send should tackle those Wiper/striper just fine. No shout out needed. I would just like to see one of you catch a nice fish on the jerkbaits. I am jerkbait junky 😂
The worst MRE in my opinion is the chicken chunks with BBQ sauce. It doesn’t taste bad but it is only served cold doesn’t have a heating element in it.
The best description I've ever heard for how the "vomlette" looks coming of the bag is that is resembles shiny spray foam insulation. Hope you and Asa are having a great day! Great video.
We are on our way to do a little fishing. Tell all the A's, "Hello" from MeAncient! TFW

Sadly, that’s what it smelled and looked like when they were new too. This was the bane of MRE’s and NOBODY would trade it.
I am happy to say that there was no such menu item when I was active duty. TFW, Jim!

If you want to heat multiple things, put one in the heater bag like you did. Put the other on the outside of the bag, sandwiching the heating pad. Cram the whole thing in one of those empty boxes. That's how I used to do it. Of course all the heat in the world won't help the vomlette....but you might be able to better heat your other meals.

OH god I was stranded in a hotel years ago with nothing to eat but a "vomlelette" MRE.... It scarred me for life.
I'll bet you were scarred! TFW
Cheese and Veggie *VOMELETTE*
Yes indeed! TFW
Tobasco was added after complaints that the egg was un-edable so they added a poptart and some tobasco sause instead of throwing them away
my stomach hurts just looking at that nasty egg omelette 15:24
Nice video, keep up the good work!
Will do, Jean. TFW!
Wow that Omelette really looks disgusting. Thanks for posting!
Rest assured, it was disgusting. TFW, John!
Bet a dog would eat the vomlet....Semper Fi! You are brave to attempt this MRE.
William, I'm not sure about that. It was REALLY bad! TFW!
The hash browns we're the best part of that. If you were late to chow you had endless vomlettes and endless vomlettes meant endless hash browns. It looked 16 years old when it was "fresh" Bon appetit and Semper Fi.
It's sad that someone bought the mre. A Long time a go. And never ate it . What a waste of money. Be for 3 to 5 years. It should have been consumed. Good video. God bless. From Glenn CATT in Massachusetts.
Jennifer....sometimes people buy them for food storage for 'just in case' scenarios. When they don't have to eat them, they are happy there were no scenarios in which it was necessary to eat them. Think of buying term life insurance....you have it hoping you never have to use it but it's there if you 'exit stage left' before you have things ready financially for your family if you were to die. You don't plan on any lasting value, just value if you must use it. Hope that makes sense. TFW, as always!
I’m a trucker and I think mre’s would be great to have since they don’t require refrigeration. Where do I purchase these if I was interested?
Just type in MRE‘s for sale on Google. All kinds of places sell them online. TFW!
Hiya, try some of the British ration packs they’re a lot better than US IMHO, and more recent ones too!! No chance of compromising your health😂
Bill, I'd like to be able to put my hands on some British MREs. TFW!
i love the stories and your videos in general sir
Love the videos marine! Your partner seems a little too worried about eating this, it seems good. Enjoy devil dog
Another great video as always my fellow brother, Og sub
Much appreciated and TFW!
That is without question the WORST MRE. I'm pretty sure feeding in to prisoners would be a war crime.
I am just laughing and laughing watching this 🤣😂
How long does Ace have to watch you after filming one of these videos?
Samuel, I self monitor. I'm fine, btw. TFW!
Eww, sounds like Ace is going to stick with fishing for now, lol.
Lydia, he would be wise, too. TFW!
You have two sons, Asa and Mike? And, what is your first name?
I saw Ace's and Mike's video channels...they are very good too. Looks like maybe you taught them some survival skills.
OMG that was hilarious 😂
We warned you about the deadly omelet. Didn't care for the 5 fingers of death either aka frankfurters. Be aware of the beef teriyaki. Ate one before a Chinook flight and had to vomit in my ACH. Btw, I'm in the aviation field so I fly all the time. It wasn't flight sickness.
..i always Liked those..😋
Good job guys, nice video.🤓
Appreciate that, John. TFW, as always.
Great one me ancient
:-)
My brother (also a Marine) calls this MRE, Vomlette and Assbrowns.
Yuck! TFW
I wish you could talk more about ur service in Beirut - Lebanon , w dont hear much about the US-army involvement during Lebanese Civil War
Ace was so worried 😂
He's always worried when I'm trying older MREs. :-). TFW
@@MeAncient I make custom jerkbaits here in Colorado.
I'd love to send you and Ace a bait.
Do you have a PO box that I can send the lures to?
@@-a-strikelures1212 Do you have somewhere on line that you sell the jerkbaits?
I have everyone send things to Ace Videos mailbox.....

Around where we live, silver and black seem to be good colors, if you are wondering.
Thank you for thinking of us.
I just make the lures for fun for now.
I will be opening a FB buissnes page soon. But otherwise I just enjoy making them and fishing with them.
I'll send you guys a few different patterns.
The bigger one I send should tackle those Wiper/striper just fine.
No shout out needed.
I would just like to see one of you catch a nice fish on the jerkbaits. I am jerkbait junky 😂
The worst MRE in my opinion is the chicken chunks with BBQ sauce. It doesn’t taste bad but it is only served cold doesn’t have a heating element in it.
I'll have to be looking for that one. I love me some BBQ Chix. TFW!
The absolute worst for me are the "creamy spinach fettuccine" and the "beef in Jamaica sauce". Just horrible.
