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™
I was in the Army when they transitioned from C Rats to MRE's; they were pretty nasty those first generation meals. But the Eggs and Ham was my favorite. If you were in the Airborne Infantry, you almost never had a hot, or even warm MRE; until years later when they developed the "Heater Bag" you're using here. And every Infantryman carried his own full-sized bottle of Tabasco sauce in his ammo pouch, usually stolen from the Mess Hall, because it was quite a few years before the mini bottles made their debut in the MRE. You haven't lived until you've made a chow break during a winter patrol, and had to chip away your frozen omelet with a plastic spoon, to get it down your throat; priceless memories.......
Omelet and ham slice were the best. Then years later, corned beef hash, that was living
The things being in the field does to a man. Imagine, many years later:
"Honey, I made you your favourite: omelet like you got in the field.
Nice and cold I even got you this plastic spoon."
There where no knives?
The ham and egg was one of my favorites too, but there were 2 others I'd trade for. The beef stew was ok but there was another like BBQ and rice or something like that that was amazing. Been 30 years so hard to remember them, but i do remember the hamburger patty and hot dog ones were the absolute worst.
@@davidulmer9774 Same here. I been trying to remember what some of the other ones I liked besides the ham omelet one, but it's been 30 years and I can't remember.
half of the stuff you eat. " yeah.. this one has hardened.. not gunna touch it. Actually yea I will ."
"Oh that's awful." *Proceeds to eat entire thing*
I dont know why but for 5 hours straight i have been watching this dude eat ancient ration packs i am bow fully converse in the life span and degradation cycle of charms and now fully understand how chewing gum can corrupt the contents
lmao
"let's try lime" *put in mouth* "blehblehbleh omgersh bleh"
That part got me😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
lol i died.
Haha and than eats another one lol he is a gullten for punishment
@@juanelorriaga2840 glutton. Its glutton.
IT'S NOT HIM!!! HE DIDN'T SAY "Nice!" WHEN HE PUT THE FOOD ON THE TRAY!!!!
Dark Angel Dreadnought i looked threw the whole comment section just to fine this😭😂😂
daniel abeyta XD
Add meh on snapchat
daniel abeyta I don't have Snapchat, I'm not really into that kind of thing.
Its just a prank bro theres a camera on your phone
Hey, i was born in 1993.
Interesting to see the eggs have aged better than i have.
Well...they were frozen... if i throw you in a cryo chamber for 200 years, youd be the same age physically but your chronological age would be 227.
Aren't we all aged eggs when you really think about it?
@@thatcriticvideo broooo
thatcriticvideo dude. Nice.
@@thatcriticvideo Mind = Blown.
it's so satisfying when your knife slices through the thick plastic bag
Like butter
Steve's rollercoaster of emotions during the charms part was absolutely hilarious
Omelet with Ham was generally not popular. I loved it and could easily trade for it. The trick was in the mix of ingredients. Mixing the entree with the potatoes, cheese, hot sauce, and mashed up crackers produced AMAZING results. Plus, a little MRE cookery in the field was always fun! All the best Steve!
Yup !!
Vomlit
@@12b_engineer that was what folks called the Vegetable Omelet…and it was fitting.
@@johnr7279which MREs were your favorite and least favorite?
@@annie_xo lots of good ones (goof ‘nuff anyway) but my least liked was Chicken aka King. Wallpaper paste in an envelope! Tuna with Noodles was a baddie too!
why am I eating this? The steve1989 story
Been watching his shit for 3 hours straight wtf is wrong with me
Nothing dude, It's awesome here
Celos o I'm with you brother!! Oddly relaxing,and pretty interesting info !!
LOL
Celos o same bro it honestly looks like good food
Ha
I know it would probably sound crazy to someone NOT into rations, but this is ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! It's so awesome that you were given this opportunity to really step back in time and try out a vintage ration in as close to "new" and "fresh" condition as is really possible. Now you are truly qualified to compare a modern one to the ones from the early 90s. Before this we had to rely on our memories (which tend to be unreliable) and the experience of eating 20 or 30 year old MRES (which really isn't a fair or true reflection of what they were like, as we're dealing with 20 or 30 years of the natural aging process. Thank you so much Jerry for having the foresight to freeze these things for so long and sending them along to Steve, and thank you so much for sharing the experience with us Steve! Also, I really can't thank you enough for sending one of these time capsules to me so I can also take part in this rare opportunity myself! Hopefully mine has held up as well as the ones you've tried. I'll let you know...
+gschultz9 Oh, and PERFECT t-shirt choice for this one!
gschultz9 well peanut and coffee with cocoa that sucks
All respect I had for you is gone fuck you adding peanut butter to coffee
Nice.
@@nellieeli5370 fuck yourself
This man has eaten around 1000 years of history until now
Why do I love these videos
I'm completely
Obsessed with MRE videos. My husband thinks I'm crazy!!
Delicious packaged food. What's not to love... Especially considering the fact that these packages survive so long. Kind of gives you hope after an apocalypse.
+John Smith i like you.
your here like me for the commentary
Sawyer Skog the funny noises he makes when he eats the food😂
"hmm, that's not very good, or maybe it is..."
tyler 00223 *x-file theme plays*
Dude. You say the BEST shit. You will start a sentence, with a certain inflection, and then go a completely different way than I expected, at the end. Gets me every time. You are an entertaining son of a gun. I just realized today, that after about 10 of your videos, that I wasn't already subscribed. So I fixed that. Keep up the good work.
I love when the Internet leads me to new things. I had no idea that reviews existed for something like this, by I like it.
When you tried the lime I couldn't stop laughing
I love how in a lot of your videos, you'll open up something and say "no this doesn't look good. I think it didn't hold up. I'm not trying it" then moments later you do. Haha.
I was disappointed when the tray showed up and there was no "Nice!"
Yeah :( it needs to be there!
+Napalmburns agreed
+Napalmburns agreed
It kind of feels like I have a sneeze stuck.
Yeah that really messed up the asmr for me
its a few months older than me, but it looks like a good meal. amazing how freezing food will preserve it. would be amazing to find one frozen for 50 years.
*****
what do you think are the chances some MREs could have been lost in permanently frozen place? like if there were any ww2 military activity way up north or something where some cargo could have been deserted. that would be pretty neat. plus it would be a good excuse just to see those amazing parts of the world.
i also wonder if scientific research facilities in the arctic/antarctic have stashes of MREs, and if there are any abandoned bases. hrmmm
getting to antarctica and the arctic are the easiest now than theyve ever been :D
*****
yeah couse you know if you went to a place like that, youd have to bring a lot of rations to survive, what ones would you pick?
oh BTW as for the expanding Polystarch ive been working with sodium based chemicals that when mixed with water result in salt and a gas such as nitrogen. that would release heat too so the bread would puff up and be really warm like it was just cooked. im still trying to figure out if it should be in the form of a powder of maybe just a compressed bread.
now about that ration from a crashed DC-3....thats fucking awesome.
*****
oh and i guess i should also say, the sodium based expanding bread will probably have a kinda high chance of exploding if i put raw sodium in there. hahaha
@@RinoaL even more probable some montaneous region.
I never put much water on the Coco that way I could spread it like icing or dip oatmeal bars into it. Never too watery that way. Everyone had their own creative ways of eating their MRE's. The Maple cake was the best Cherry cake was close behind. Peace and happy eating.
Old school Steve being as straight forward as possible, before he turned into the cool, laid-back MRE Jesus he is now.
Before he perfected his style and delivery. We have come to love the "Steveisms".
MRE Jesus might be the funniest thing ive read in a while😂😭
I ate this exact one on camping trips as a kid. My grandfather gave us some for trips. The potatoes stuck in my mind for ever and a day. it wasn't bad. Its just every time I heard the phrase blowing chunks I imagined those potatoes XD
blowing chunks
Chunks was his dog.
Really diggin that soundtrack. Reminds me of old school D&D music for some reason.
Yeah, I think of 80's low budget sci-fi/ action movies intro credits music, lol!
Contsu Steve makes all the music btw, he's good!
It's very late-era Zappa-esq.
Contsu check out varg vikernes
Or the beginning of the first Terminator movie....Think about that opening scene...
You can eat a 15-20 year old mre and I'm scared just to eat a frozen pretzel a day past the expiration date
Lmao
But they can last for some time sooo
A frozen pretzel?
Based 4life Bruh right what the hell kinda wack shit is that
Dr. Lemonseed Frozen soft pretzel.
I might've watched this vid already years ago, luckily it's been long enough to watch it as if it's new! Thanks for keeping us entertained Steve!
I literally have eaten this when I was a kid, my dad would bring mres home for us to try once in a while. I use to collect the hot sauce bottles
“This is absolutely one of the best things I’ve ever eaten in my life.”
Oh Steve... you poor thing...
You probably eat avocado
In one of your future good MRE meals, can you change the layout to a fine-dining, sophisticated setup? I'm talking about tablecloth, candle holders and classical music (JS Bach Brandenburg) playing in the background. I think the juxtaposition of eating a good delicious ration in that kind of environment would be hilarious. Since you seem to eat these already for dinner you can call the episode "Dining with Steve1989."
☝
Tea cup and monecole not included
Cesar Perez Powdered drinks go great in a teacup! I don't know if Steve has the budget for a monocle though!
I like it basic.
+PossibleFirePictures I'm fine with the current format too. I'm just suggesting perhaps for a special occasion he can treat us with a "surprise" episode where he will change the layout.
I was in the Marine Corps from 92-96. In the field we would end up with boxes of MRE's full of the ham omelette because nobody would eat it. I can't believe you liked it. Being frozen for 20 years must have added flavor because that meal was HORRENDOUS!! I'm in shock that you liked it!!! Hope the next morning was OK because they were not great when using the crapper after eating em!! Love your channel. Brings back the memories!
I smell a goddamn charms. - "Iceman" Colbert
great reference
I saw the charms and yelled
Hey, you've crossed 200K!!!
Awesome!!
BRO I LITERALLY SHIT MYSELF 4 YEARS
Now he needs 200k more to reach 2kk.
Au.. argh...a lgh... lughs...... why lime is so bad...
Thing is I don't believe in lemon,I use only limes for cooking. I haven't ever tasted lemonade before its that bad, only limeade.
+Cesar Perez you really should try lemonade because it is awsome
He sounds like the Postal dude choking on something
I eat key limes like oranges...
Something about the packaging really gets me. I love it!
Your videos are the reason I have gotten nothing accomplished today.
Thanks Steve! :-)
13:06 Okay, so now let's taste what the wet-nap tastes like, see if it's any good... Mhmm, yeah... That's pretty terrible. *Throws onto table, picks up another one and tastes it*.
Just think about the Chicken that laid the egg in that omelette... from 1993. Lol.
😂😂😂😂
I find your videos send me to sleep. Please take that as a compliment . I'm an insomniac and suffer from anxiety. So I find your channel both interesting and I've noticed I've fallen asleep whilst watching as I never reach the end of the vids. So you're very relaxing. Thanks 😊
Love this channel, I never thought opening old rations would be so intriguing
to everyone cheesed about no nice after the food was on the tray I know what's up. so basically he had forgot to say it so at 7:47-7:48 he says nice when opening the pouch. Guys its okay calm down we have found the 'nice' he is safe now
NO IT HAS TO BE AFTER THE FOOD IS PUT ON THE TRAY, AHHHHHHHH
me-1:00 in the morning-"Why am i watching a guy eat food?" oh, well might as well subscribe.
indeed my friend. 3 am here, same situation as you.
Exactly
Can't stop watching this guy
One of my favorite things about his old/vintage MRE reviews is when he's like "That doesn't look right. Ah fuck it!" and then eats/drinks it anyway.
"ug, why am I eating this." Proceeds to finish it anyway. LOL, that's why I keep watching your MRE videos. Your willingness to damage your health so we know if something went bad is fantastic.
I love it everytime Steve says "eugh"
Me too lol makes me laugh 😂
Which isn’t really too often, considering all the MREs he eats.
There is something soothing about the mix of Steve's voice, and the various rustles and crinkle sounds of the MRE... :-)
You should of dipped the oatmeal bar in the pudding.
Night_Slayer that sounds delicious
Nice
Love the channel Steve!! I’ve spent countless hours enjoying your content.
PS.. love the “Back to the Future” T-shirt!! Saw another episode that you were wearing a “Hover Board Champion- Hill Valley” T-shirt. Badass!!
10:13 "What could go wrong anyway"
Famous last words.
Dude, you're awesome. I'm totally addicted to your videos, especially the 20+ year old MREs. The angles you film from and the way you describe everything is like I am going through these packages myself with a crazy/knowledgeable friend that tastes and explains everything.
You should have dipped your cookie bar into the ranger pudding. 👍🏼😉
Find it funny that I want to get and eat these everyday and the soldiers want to not see these ever again
Eat this shit everyday in a sand box and you'll be pretty much over it too
Wow.. I was not expecting that omelette with ham to be good hahaha
I wonder what dipping the oatmeal cookie bar in the Ranger Pudding would have tasted like 🤔
everytime you said potatoes au gratin, i thought you said the potatoes are rotten
yeah me too
He was early on he mentioned that's what soldiers used to call them.
Erok Nice.
Erok He DID
He did it was deliberate.
Hey Steve, excellent reviews! BTW, the omelet with ham mirrors the C rat ham and eggs chopped from back in the day. Those were my faves. Also if you get the chance, the T Pack (Tray rations) ham and cheese omelet was also great. If you haven't run into one, it's one big flattish, rectangular can about 3 inches deep, gray in color.
Love your videos.. I've learned the hard way though not to start watching these at night.. Started watching @10pm, SEEMS like 4 videos later and its 7am. Great work, very addictive! Lol Have you tried the US MRE- menu 7(beef brisket)?? I would love to see your opinion on that one! :-D
He totally forgot the Tabasco sauce....
Hero Gamer what a criminal lmaoo
and ‘Nice’
He forgot again hahaha
I can't eat eggs without it.
@@jenm9099 I cant eat anything without it
THE POTATO LOOK LIKE CHOP MANGOS
Hey Steve I love your channel but I can't be the only one who would love to see alot more videos. You were the first channel that got me into mre's. I love the other guys like gundog too but I really hope you start showing new videos. Until then I guess I'll just watch some of the old ones. Hope to see more.
spent many many days n nights out in field eating these mres back in the 90s during my army service. ranger puddin was best part although we would just mix sugar into the cocoa with a lil cold water and eat like that. and the infamous mre bombs. he steve can u demonstrate a proper mre "bomb" ( not really a bomb- but a loud popper) on here for us? i wonder if they still make these. we had a shit ton of fun makin them back then. makes quite a loud bang. Thanx 4 the vids. brings me back 20 yrs ago to my army days in death valley mojave desert.
Just binge watching your videos. So much fun to watch. Keep up the great work!
I can only imagine the diarrhea he goes through for us
Zachary Taylor pretty much 5:45
Zachary Taylor su rof hgourht seog eh arhrraid eht enigami ylno nac i
The terrible thing is most MRE's have a chemical that makes you constipated so that you dont have to shit yourself in the field. So more recently they come with gum that's strung up with laxatives to help you go so no diarrhea it's the complete opposite problem.
Yeah I guess 'Diarrhoea' wouldn't be fun.
I am a U.S. Desert Storm Veteran. Believe it or not, this was my favorite MRE! The awesome thing about that is no one else wanted the #4. More for me! I haven often thought about trying to find some of these
Definitely one of my favorites as well. Nobody wanted it most of the time. Just pour off the excess liquid first.
how often do you get dysentery?
+Cowboy Tanaka You serious...
Ibram Gaunt I'm joking. Although he must get sick often from eating way expired MREs.
Cowboy Tanaka I've been wondering that too. He and his doc must hang out a lot.
***** I'm surprised, you must have a stomach of steel. Haha.
Steel won't cut it. I think his stomach is made out of bullet proof, 10 inches thick Kevlar. LOL
Been watching your videos for weeks now love them so fascinated by them
I ate that exact meal a lot. And it looks exactly how I remember it looking. I would put the tabasco on on the eggs. It wasn't bad, but 9 times out of 10 I ate it cold. Memories! LOL
I love your enthusiasm for this stuff.
You should have chucked some Tabasco on that omelette dude!
Lol Steve you almost got taken out by the lime charms!! The reactions from each flavor made my day ha ha. Thanks man I found a new favorite show!
bro if u put it out on a tray we are all waiting for the steve signature trademark "nice" ...if u dont say it ur video doesn't seem as authentic. ..lmfao
why am I watching this guy eat meals that soldiers eat, it's kinda weird but yet I still watch it
To me it's a strange addiction
+Dreaddog Happy literally same
asmr
its kinda weird but its fun to watch!
it is not asmr but i feels like asmr
I’m addicted to your videos and I have no idea why
You got lucky there was a heater. I got stuck with a few of these with no heater out in the field during cold weather, and had to eat them cold since there was nothing else and good luck trying to find someone to take this one in a trade. lol
I had this exact MRE back in 1994, when I was 9 and my dad got some MREs from a friend as a gift.
I remember hating the omelet but the potatoes were amazing.
Held on to the Tabasco sauce for maybe a decade after because I thought it was so cute!
i love your videos man but how in the hell are you not dead from food poisoning yet?? 😂😂😂😂
+Ose Fiverys really?
+killercal420 He got e.coli from a russian mre
Mr. Pou *Ukrainian
12:28 "Reminds me of the early 90's." Eating a '93 MRE. Pretty spot on.
Always makes me hungry when you eat this stuff.
The intro music on your videos always amazing!
What could go wrong? (Then dies)
Steve1989 MREinfo if that civil war MRE didn't kill you, nothing will.
He ate a civil war MRE? I bet that was nasty.
A civil war ration ? Man I've gotta check that out.
Ali Abdallah you mean that stonecracker from the 19th century??
43abdi43 It was hardtack from the eighteenth century, actually.
Love ur videos man. Ur commentary is very entertaining to watch the whole video and be interested till the end ! Thanks for sharing
Wolfes down what looks like a medical specimen pickled organ.
"It tastes like bacon!?"
An epithet for the US. ;0
As an old 0311 Marine infantryman, watching you eat those cursed Charms candies had me cringing and brought back memories of days spent in the field wet, cold, tired and just plain miserable, but damn were those some of the best times of my life. By the way, every grunt knew never to eat those damned things. We always had to keep an eye out on the new _"boots"_ because those bastards would.
cursed? is it some kind of superstition?
Steve should hang out with the Geico raccoons. "Aww, this is really bad! Here, try it!"
"That looks nice, you know what make it look better? Gettin' it out on a tray" made me break out in laughter for some reason. Thanks for the great videos! They make my day every time.
hominy grits sounds like a character from harry Potter :-)
It's an omelette Harry.
Since I started watching you I've been buying MRE's by the case, thanks.
24 YEARS from mfg date....not bad!
If you froze this in 1996, then it has been in the freezer since I was 5 or 6! That's absolutely incredible that ham & eggs could stay good this long.
I live MREs. :) I make my own for my Harley motorcycle journeys. :)
:-) my pleasure!! RockOn dude!!
Don't forget to feed yer Hog... :-)
Jerry Sullivan Oh, I feed Princess Sáphira the best gasoline and fuel conditioners money can buy.
Tier one fuel .... most gas sucks, and EPA is working to make it even worse... CORN IS FOR LIKKER!! :-) 65 MPG ..WOW... GET YER MOTOR RUNNIN, HEAD OUT ON THAT HIWAY... SEARCHIN FOR ADVENTURE.. OR WHATEVER COMES OUR WAY!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA BEEN THERE DONE THAT :-)
thanks to you Steve I am now obsessed with mres. I want to order a bunch and just live off them for the rest of my life
Dude, try this. Take a MRE heater apart and break it up and put it in an empty water bottle, then add some water and seal it. Throw and enjoy.
I forgot to comment how I like all your intro tunes. Very nice
WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY "NICE" WHEN YOU PUT IT ON THE TRAY ASDFJSHAJJA
this is one of my new favorite channel!
Doc Brown brought that back in his DeLorean for you to eat.
Marty, We have to go back to the future!
Lol. Can’t believe Steve enjoyed that one. In 1993 I was in basic training and the very first MRE I drew was omelet and ham (no heater included at that time). I remember hating it instantly. Beef stew ended up being my personal fav. Btw; Charms were always really sticky and messy.
I ate some expired egg noodles once... lost consciousness, fell on my tile kitchen floor and woke up in a pool of my own blood - my head needed stitches. Don't do it man...
Granted they were not preserved.
You are a breave man.
Nyah Notrealname wat
Barak Gage my thoughts exactly lol 😂 this dude had a seizure
Eat expired food and enjoy guys.
I was drinking some milk that had expired the day before, when all of a sudden the ground started shaking; some heavy books fell on my head from a high shelf, and then the bookshelf itself fell on top of me. That was October 17, 1989 and I've never been the same since. Don't do it, man.
r/thathappened
My absolute favorite MRE, but I can't believe you didn't put the Tabasco on it!! That's what makes it!! Well played with the Ranger pudding btw. Great vid.
NOOOOO!!!! TOO MUCH WATER IN THE RANGER PUDDING!!! Obviously still tastes good, but the consistency is half the joy.
Why do I have an ominous feeling that this tip will be relevant at some point in my life?
He said he added too much
holy crap what a nostalgia trip! I got a TON of these era MRE's from my cousin back then. used them for backpacking mostly, fond memories of alot of them, others....not so much lol cool to see
