40 YEAR OLD MRE Review 1982 Beef Diced With Gravy TASTE TEST | Vintage Brown Bag Meal Ready to Eat
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 ส.ค. 2024
- The oldest MRE I've ever reviewed! Crazy to think this Meal Ready to Eat was packed 40 years ago in 1982 and now I'm giving it a taste test in 2022. Eating old ration food is always a risk but I got lucky in this case; however, the cheese spread was an abomination that likes of which I never want to experience again. Regardless it's always fascinating to check out these old military rations and even better when they can be consumed.
Thanks for watching!

14:59 Sir when I heard that I panicked 😂 You have balls of steel!
So you are saying I'm really old? ...Nice old one, these are always a blast to open up.
You're pretty old bud :)
@@punkinpunker 😂😂
I'm not far behind! Lol
Maybe Steve1989 has an upcoming protege? 😎
Just discovered your channel. Very good reviews! I subscribed.
Thanks for the support!! Steve is the man
Wow, eating an MRE that is older than you are is pretty brave, my friend!
Great review! Keep them coming!!!
I love finding out how well these super old MREs held up. Every single one is its own little time capsule.
WOW I couldn't eat that crap in 1987 when I was in The Marine Corps!!!! We had C Rats laying around to! From 1975 to 1982. Nice video RIP! FELLA!
2 years since he ate this MRE and he’s doing great. I guess you weren’t hungry enough to appreciate what you had during your time.
Your my channel now, finally another one like Steve. Love you guys be safe and Merica ❤
Got this exact ration coming Monday! Yum... Also I know what it's like eating rations older than you. My oldest was a 1944 Royal Canadian Navy tin. This is gonna be the oldest MRE.
I'd love to try something from WW2 like that.
Your lucky, in 4 years in the USAF I never had a chance to heat one up or reconsitute them. Ate many Dried beef and pork patties.
PS, only put a small amount of water in coffee, creamer, & sugar mix; makes a pudding that eveyrone did.
His era was my favorite. I bought a bunch of them in the 90's. I got to eat them when they were experimental in the service. Thanks for the review!

Awesome, detailed review. Thank you! I think this ration would have been great with a little pack of dehydrated mashed potatoes for the beef and gravy. It's amazing how well the whole thing held up. I bought a bunch of brown bags a few years back, because I wanted to find the chocolate covered cookie, the freeze dried fruit, and the salted crackers. I found them, and I'm still amazed at how well certain components can hold up through the years. My experience is that cheese spreads age in one of two ways, they either develop an awesomely funky, strong, aged-cheese goodness, or they become five-day-old summer-sun roadkill packed in a pouch. I'm sorry (but amused) that you got the latter.
Interesting that there was no cold drink?
Again, I have to commend you for the detail in your reviews. You've got the knack of it, stick with it and you could be a legend.....

The disgustingness of the cheese is the true legend 😂. Thanks for watching man!
I used to work in Defence stores in the U.K. We had ration packs and we would get instructed to open certain batches to inspect wether they were any good. Always the sweets would deteriorate and then the whole batch would be scrapped. It was In the 80s and all the tinned stuff and drinks kit was always perfect. We used to take them home rather than bin them.
That's pretty cool! I would have been tempted to bring stuff home too lol.
@@ReadinessRations I ran the Clothing Sores on an RAF Base and part of that building had the war rations which they had to keep but also sometimes used on exercises. I was a civilian but also in the Army reserves. I used both the old type (tins) then later the boil in the bag rations were better.
Just me sitting here yelling noooooo to the cheese spread! Usually I like watching people eat gross stuff, but everything about the cheese just had me like DONT DO IT BRO...AINT WORTH IT!!!
Lolol.
Brother..Looks like you were eating at the ptomaine tavern...
Cheese spread looks like catfish bait...
I hope you don't get the Tijuana squirts..
BTW: My wife and I loved the commentary.LOL.
That cheese would have been perfect for catfishing! Just like stink bait lol. Glad y'all enjoyed it 😂
I think I would have stopped as soon as I saw the colour of the beans😂
Oh..my...gawd.. I was gagging just hearing you trying that cheese spread!
I hope you don't get really ill, rotten cheese spread can be pretty lethal.
Very fascinating review!
I am alive and well luckily 🤣. I had a really hard time getting through the cheese segment with losing it though.
After that cheesing your probably immune to most communicable diseases lol
Just disappointed it didn't give me super powers lol
I dig your reviews . I'm always laughing my ass off when you do these .
😆 Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Oh boy! Hope you enjoyed the industrial strength crackers. I got news for you that cheese spread was a biohazard from day one .
I'm actually a big fan of the crackers.
Oh they aren't bad just amazing what they can take, within limits, and not turn to powder. I think they are, or were, similar to Pilot Bread Crackers. They keep practically forever as long as they don't get damp.
Great review!
I ate them when they were brand new military issue. I was so missing the old Crats. There was no flameless heaters and they were out of the old stinky heat tabs. Very few items out of the MRE I preferred over the Crat. The newness of them wore off real quick.I
Active duty Army 1981-1984! Lol
We didn't run out of C rats till probably mid 1983. Then we switched to the MRE in Berlin Germany.
Thank you for your service! I've had a couple Vets tell me that they were still being issued Crats during the first Gulf War. I guess whatever was on had was issued.
I'd be shocked if they were being issued that late.
Usually Berlin was one of if not the last to get new stuff. They weren't measuring for the Kevlar helmets till late 1984 there.
Not sure if you are familiar with the Berlin Brigade but we were Occupying Berlin during the cold war. We were 110 miles into then Communist East Germany in a city with a wall built around it. We were surrounded by a lot of Soviet and East German military! You don't give your best equipment to soldiers in that position.
@@lisamcdonald7828 yeah I was super surprised to hear that kind of thig myself but at this point I've heard the same from a couple different people. There are also stories of troops still being issued WW2 KRations in Korea and Korean Crats in Vietnam. I've even heard a couple tales of krats being issued in early Vietnam. How true any of that stuff is, who knows.
I have a case of 82's and badly want to open it but I know all 12 bags will be a hit or miss. I might though. Haha, great video man. Love the lighting.
Thanks for checking it out! If that case was stored at a decent temperature the contents may not be all that bad.
Awesome review rr
Thank you! Finally had the salted crackers.
The cheese never holds up well, but it has to be tried and the components that are still edible make up for the smell.
I don't know if there is anything that can make up for the smell of burning cheese lol
Dude you're crazy for trying that cheese!! Love your reviews!
Great work man !! so much hard work and quality videos. wish you good luck bro 💪
Thank you very much. It's a ton of work but I truly enjoy it.
Man your freaking crazy lol 😂
Great review though, watching others suffer can be comedy 😂😂😂
I don't mind suffering for your enjoyment lol
@@ReadinessRations that’s what it’s all about son 👊
Always enjoy the old ones. Another great review, loved the saltines, as I remember them as a kid. Do you ever wonder if something this old was perfectly stored, would everything survive? Maybe you know.
I have no doubt if this ration was kept in a refrigerator all these years everything would have been perfect.
Well, when they opened King Tut's tomb, they found the Boy King's stash of Egyptian Army rations. Half were still edible, as were his SPAM and Twinkies! 😆
I would NOT have tried the cheese, very good review
And I wouldn't blame you one bit for that! Thanks for checking it out!
"not for inflight use." I know probably not what they meant, but I just imagine a fighter pilot trying to prepare this meal and eat It while in the air.
Lmao, that cheese spread looks like and from your response sounds like it could be a weapon of mass destruction..
They weren't that great when I ate them in the 80's. Can't imagine in 40 years they got better. LOL
My cheese spread is perfect. Perfect condition somehow!
That's amazing! Very lucky
You’re a brave man. 😂
Either brave or reckless 😂
Nice Stalecracker reference :)
I've had this one and that beef was pretty decent. Shame your chocolate bar was so wrecked. Great video though.
I've never been lucky enough to get a chocolate brownie that was still good. It's odd too because the covered cookie is always in great shape.
Always weird how dry the meat gets when it's been soaking for so long! Looks decent though. I usually stop when I get the numbness 😂
We still doing phrasing?
@@SmittyMRE keep your willy to yourself!
The numbness is a great stopping point lol
No way on that cheese spread its horrible tried it once never again
Haha it most certainly doesn't get any better the 3rd or 4th time.
👍😀🇺🇸
Hello there buddy! Hope you are doing well in this heat.
All American chocolate has chemicals to stop it melting unfortunately. Cool video though 😎
Did you get sick?
🤢👍
Thanks!!
I Have to watch the video before you get a thumbs up from me
