Food from the past still exists, packaged decades or even centuries ago, laying in forgotten bunkers and pantries around the world. These foods have long since expired…or have they? Collectors everywhere save the bottles, tins, and boxes they come in, but not many do what Josh and Old Smokey do. They collect, unbox, examine, and eat the oldest, most iconic foods to have survived history. It’s the best way they’ve found to experience history first hand.

Holy cow! I didn't even think that was possible with food.

[@ibelieveinyou502]

It's the reason they went from fortified with vitamins and iron to vitamins and minerals, but yes it's still being put in our food

[@ibelieveinyou502]

Crazy thought, red blooded Americans are fed iron. The elite , blue bloods , use silver or gold. Most info on this has been censored away, but you can still find a story about a man with blue skin caused from drinking silver. He claims he has never felt as good as he does now.

[@failedtoloadpleasetryagain1862]

@@ibelieveinyou502 yes your skin can get blue from silver but i think generally creatures with blue blood have copper in their blood instead of iron. and metals like gold that do not rust could not be used to carry oxygen as far as i know so it would not work in blood

[@applemontea]

1:36 hey bro, I think it's just magnetic effect like a ruler with paper cut. occurs because there is a transfer of electric charge, in this case the fresh cereal is still dry and electron transfer occurs when pressed.

I really wanna be on this show, I love this show.

“Nice hiss, cool, let’s get this out on a tray”

[@MikeHoltackers]

Mmm-kay!

[@slugerama]

Nice.

[@silvermusictv692]

Doesn’t sit right that they didn’t hire Steve1989mreinfo to be a host

[@adamblessing1203]

Love it

[@faqihudinansas1972]

We need Steve1989

[@davidsnyder9661]

Wonder how good or bad that is for your body Lol

[@obudanbondon]

it's really bad
...
what the body needs is Iron Fluorine/Potassium Phosphate
not actual iron lol

[@citystyleboxing8234]

@@obudanbondon the question in all the videos I've gone through that no one has asked is why is there iron metal in cereal and why would the FDA allow it. That should be what people are really talking about.

[@chekwan78]

Woww..breakfast cereal with iron...😂😂😂

[@marilynscull4585]

Very cool guys.

[@Kcirtap141]

This is not electric charge or something. Kellogs Special K in the Netherlands had iron added also, they shredded old nails into the cereals. Since this came to light Kellog changed its formula though. I think that happened around 8 or 10 years ago.

[@sammywilliam8156]

Is that save

[@Dkrides1]

Hi

[@koolz765]

So if we harvest afew tons of wheaties, we can build a tank

[@AD-ui6sk]

anonymous 765 I like your thinking

[@jediknightjairinaiki560]

If you take time out of your day to crush cereal and see if it sticks to a magnet for no reason other than you can . . . you might be a hipster bearded, backwards hat wearin', douch.

[@bhushanugale4588]

Why u close the ancient alien vdo its not good

[@Nighthawk268]

I've seen a ton of TH-cam videos of people unboxing and eating old food from historical packaging. I'm not I see anything new here, or just an idea from the internet. But looks good however.

[@Oldsmokey1]

I'm one of those guys on TH-cam who's been eating old food for years in videos. That's one reason why im a host of the show.

[@johnmirbach2338]

😁✌🖖👌👍😎

[@Funckle73]

That beard that face!!! I want to eat HIM!!😍😋

[@Oldsmokey1]

Haha... Got a good laugh reading your comment

[@slammajamma5435]

Only here to leave a comment. This show is an embarrassment & a phenomenal lack of judgement. It stinks of desperation, might be time to set higher standards.

[@michellebuletti4238]

This guy has too much time on his hands
