  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 ต.ค. 2024
  • Check out this incredibly well preserved ham slice and other MRE foods, snacks, and beverages of the early 90's! A very retro menu, with exciting finds like a fully intact chocolate covered brownie. You just never see MRE's in this good of condition anymore, as it is all about storage conditions.
    This is the most fun I have had with a simple old vintage MRE in a good bit. I hope you enjoy the video and stay tuned for many more extremely well stored vintage MREs of the early-mid 90's!

    This is the most fun that I've had with a vintage MRE in a good while. Ended up finding a source where they had been stored in an insulated cool room in his basement. The owner had meticulously stored all his MRE's under strictly regulated temperatures for over 25 years. He passed away, and his son sold off his stuff. And I was lucky enough to acquire a part of that collection of vintage MREs. So stay tuned for more in this kind of condition.

    This was one of my favorite MREs back in the day, this and oddly the omlet because the texture was so satisfying. The salt of the ham slice really gave you a jolt of energy and the electrolyte boost you could really feel from a day out in the field. The cocoa beverage powder was the saving grace of many of these meals for as you can see there is very little sugar in this meal and the brownie bar was not only a food of last resort but was often loaded with hard shells. The cocoa beverage powder could be used on its own or combined with the coffee to make a nice field cafe mocha and for the sweet tooth the creamer and sugar packet could be added for an even creamier and sweeter version. You could also forgo the coffee in the cocoa powder, add sugar and creamer and add far less water for a wonderful field pudding. The orange beverage powder always looked like it self florescenced and always though my stomach probably glowed in the dark, it looked quite unhealthy but tasted great, again extra sugar packet could be added to that for an extra kick. The Tabasco was always a bit overpowered in the vinegar department and not so great but boy did it make the less palatable meals like chicken ala king easier to hold the nose and choke down.

    This was one of the more "liked" rations during that time. My sections Gunner liked them better than all the others so I recall usually giving it to him if I ever snagged this out of the box. Later years the ham slice came in a silver packet which was very exotic HAHA! Keep on with these great reviews Steve, you take us old soldiers and marines right down memory lane.
