Can you imagine any soldier's reaction back in 1957 if you told him some guy in 2020 would be eating their rations? They would have thought the planet ran out of food or something
Can you say food poisoning! I can just picture him on the toilet with vomit bucket in one hand and the other hand holding on to that little bit of life left in his body
Watching this man become totally enthralled in eating over 60 year old food is the only thing that cure my depressions even for just a little while. Like how do you get this enthusiastic every time you open something that most people who dread ever having to use in the first place?
I know, you can truly HEAR the passion he has for looking through these. When he finds those camels he starts stuttering and breathing hard, then examines each one and when he finds the “for US not for resale” he actually just stops his sentience mid talk just from the passion, I love it, that is crazy
Steve your attitude is why I watch these vids. You make unpacking 50 year old can exciting and awesome. You're so damn jazzed about this stuff and I love it. Great content.
He's also a former cig smoker, so everytime he does one of these he gets to smoke again. You can tell by how excited he was to find those camels, like a kid opening the one present he asked for for Christmas.
I had a WW2 pack of Camels back in 2017 and finally opened and smoked them. Surprisingly, they were still smokable. And like you to this day they were the best cigarettes I ever smoked. There definitely is a big difference on how cigarettes were made back in those days. Great video!
I would say most of the stuff he eats is better only because it was better when it was put there including the tobacco And I'm not talking about what he says or Deams bad.
Just imagine being in the middle of a war, hungry as you haven’t eaten in hours or even days, and eating a meal like this, and then a cigarette to top it all off. Must’ve felt like heaven for a small moment.
While I can't speak from experience, Chris Cocks talks about this in his book 'Fireforce'. During his training with the Rhodesian RLI, he was told to survive for 3 days in the bush with nothing more than standard issue kit. While he wasn't able to sneak food, his stick-mate and him snuck cigarettes. Apparently smoking on an empty stomach is extremely difficult, and they almost had to abort the exercise.
I love how each item is a catalog of historic American companies... Oscar Meyer, Kroger, etc. The chocolate discs are made by a chocolate company that still exists (it says Lititz, PA, which is in Lancaster County near where I grew up) - Wilbur Chocolates.
Howdy.... As a kid in 1959, this kit and identical were part of my camping experience at five years of age, and for a few years afterward. Dad was in charge of 'discarding' the older rations that were being gotten rid of....so we 'destroyed them' in accordance with his army policy. My dad being a Master Sgt. in the reserves also got the use of an 8-man squad tent....with my mom hugging the center pole (the first time, it collapsed on her with accompanying screams), and once it went up it had large Red Crosses on a white circle on all four sides...I guess dad was embarrassment-proof amongst all the other more civilian campers! I guess she didn't like 400 pounds of canvas and poles falling on her on a warm day....good thing we were in the shade. All we ate was those rations for a week. Not bad! The canned bacon was good, but was cooked just to heat it up and give a bit more flavor. We'd soak up the grease with the bread. Keep in mind bacon was a LOT more fat in proportion to meat back them.....lean bacon is a new-ish trend. As an aside, I remember buying canned bacon for a dollar each in 1967, good but still needed a bit of heating to make it more palatable...EXCEEDINGLY salty! Was it a BEN FRANKLIN store? Can't remember...in the can it was wrapped in a heavy white paper, you cut out both ends of the can and pushed it out. Unroll and unfold, and there you were. It came with the same type of key as a C-rat, but you still needed a P-38 or P-51 to open the other end. The canned bread was very good, if a bit yeasty tasting. As it was baked in the can, it filled it very well...hissed when opened from internal pressure. Can't remember if it used the C-rat key or not, but you had to punch an air hole in the other end to slide/shake the 'loaf' out. I don't remember the soups. Canned beef stew was good, although I remember some of the meat chunks being a bit tough. The gravy ( a bit gelatinous) and potatoes were good. Canned ham with pineapple was tasty, and not really sweet. My first taste of pineapple... The canned peanut butter (VERY good), canned crackers (meh), cheese were all OK. The chocolate discs (I seem to remember they were pretty damned hard) were tooth-breakers...best use your bayonet to crush them up for hot chocolate etc....dad would beak them up for us...with a bayonet. There were some sort of cereal bars I remember...slightly sweet, I liked them the BEST. Couldn't chew them, you just sucked on them to soften them up. Being five, I didn't get to try the Camels....mom and dad were both smokers, later dad switched to a pipe. I seem to remember some sort of canned jam or preserves with the kit....I'm wondering if it was a 10-in-one kit? The cocoa powder was OK, tended to settle out in the bottom of the canteen cup....yes, we used full field gear, mess kits, canteens etc. Dad even had one of those gasoline-fired heaters for washups, but we only used it once IIRC. Pain in the ass....best suited to cleanup for 100+ guys. Army Coleman stove and lanterns for cooking and lighting. Army cots and bedding, and chipmunks boldly dashing about under the edges of the tent, picking up scraps. Being a medical tent, it had a metal thimble in the side of the tent for a coal/wood stove. A simple flap kept it closed if not stove was used. Tent, foodstuffs, parents and five kids crammed into a 1951 Ford station wagon from Chicago to Muskegon State Park in Michigan. The car was resting on it's axles the whole way there and back. Maybe he should have borrowed a deuce-and-a-half? :) Would have been awkward filling out the 'trip ticket' for that...if you used an Army vehicle, it had to be for official use only, with accompanying written orders.
I love watching these, my dad was in WW2, so I like seeing what he had back then. As a Boomer, it's nice to see a young person excited about history, & actually be genuinely sincere. Thank you.
My dad said the jelly in the ration packs were sought after since they would ferment and guys would trade the smokes for jelly and eat it and get drunk. He served in vietnam and they would have the old WW2 and Korean war rations
"Sweet maple... and aged figs." The kind of phrase that resurfaces at the very end of one's life, a reminder of what a glorious blessing it has been to taste sentience, to live once in this garden called Earth.

Which essentially he is being a critic here but he could become one of those famous ones people are scared may give them a bad review!!! Lol travel the world write food articles lol!!! Or he could be a salesman of anything!!!! I told him he could sell camels elephant dung!!! Oh and he reminds me of the speech patterns and laugh of Keaneu Reeves in Bill and Teds Excellent Adventure!!!
Thanks Steve! The lens through which you view soldiers affords long gone men shock waves of adventure, patriotism and dignity seldom articulated by writers or artists or anyone attempting to capture a brief moment in the life. I am proud that you are an American serviceman.
I'm 21 and I don't smoke cigs or vape (used to socially with friends), but if someone offered me a pack of 1950s camels I would act just like Steve lol it's more of a novelty thing
Lol! You don't get into the game of eating 20+ year old food and come to expect a reliably desirable experience! When I had to eat MREs, I've seen ones not even a few years old gone bad. It just happens, as the packaging process isn't 100% it is amazing seeing some of the old ones condition, and he still eats some of it! Brave man
I'm so glad there is still people like this around that will just eat anything. Most of these other reviewers don't want to touch anything that is past the sell by date.
I talked to a WW2 vet about rations (being a vet myself) and he said the 5 man was living large. They were a total luxury item. C and K rations were totally inferior but the 5 man was far too bulky to stick in your backpack.
Ciggies from 90s or earlier were definitely flavourful and foul smelling for non smokers. One stick stinks all day. That aroma made me started smoking as a kid.
I want Steve to perform my eulogy when I die, and if he's half as eloquent about me as he is 60 year old bread and rancid peanut butter then I'll be remembered as a legend.
@@austingray6885 i’ve been thinking bout buying some too, seems like it would be a cool experience. Plus the packaging they come in always seem so satisfying to open.
They aren't, trust me, I've ate plenty. I always went with the Vegetarian in the Army because it came with fruit, granola bars, nuts or peanut butter, and candy out the wazoo. I could personally never stand the meat in any of them and I often carried Vienna sausage to the field for protein. I could stand them more than the shit in MREs.
He really does. Like when he said the cigarette had a robust flavor made me wanna light a cigarette up. 🤣🤣 I enjoy this man's positive videos. He could be doing worse things. God bless the fella. 💯✌️

Makes me want to revisit Camel cigs!
@Jesus is LORD ... Is there an expiration date?
@Jesus is LORD shoo fly don't bother ppl with your lunacy
@@cletusspucklerstablejeaniu1059 lmfaoooo
Cigarettes are the healthiest thing in the box.
probably lol
🤣🤣🤣
Or even the box
Lmao
That’s a worry. When smokes are safer then food hehe
Came back for a rewatch. That Camel & coffee bit is classic.❤😂 Definitely one of my favorite vids!
"Sliced bacon Type 1" Sounds like a weapon of mass destruction to me.
You bet. I bet Donald Rumsfeld would’ve enjoyed nothing more than shock n’aweing Iraq with warhead filled with the stuff
Lol
I think the pineapple did the damage. Very acidic so those tins rust through relatively early and damage the tins next to it.
“60 year old aged Camels, twice as old and twice as strong”
Haha, such a ham!
Damn i cant think of anything more fun than to smoke vintage cigarettes and drink military instant coffee
14:57 The most satisfying hiss in the history of the channel and he still only says "nice hiss."
Never change, Steve.
To be fair he put a little extra emphasis on the "nice"
gingerkid427 a nice hiss is a vacuum hiss, a bad hiss is a pressure hiss
I swear, we need to defrost a piece of a wooly mammoth for Steve to eat.
That’s actually pretty edible *nibbles on tusk*.
He has a very strong stomach and immune system to eat all that expired food.
Thats been done
This is the 20000 BC berry tribe ration
@@rashestpuppy7391 funny
Some genius army comedian from the 1950’s is sill snickering about being able to get the toilet paper and the chocolate in the same package
HAHAHAHAHA you are a time traveler my friend
Thanks Steve! The lens through which you view soldiers affords long gone men shock waves of adventure, patriotism and dignity seldom articulated by writers or artists or anyone attempting to capture a brief moment in the life. I am proud that you are an American serviceman.
Watching Steve check out the bacon and thinking, there is a 50/50 he is going to take a bite. Lol
trying to breathe a bit shallow....
*PLACES BETS*
There's a kid in a candy store..and then theres Steve with old cigarette. He sounds so happy!
It made me feel giddy for some reason, seeing him so happy.
He sounds like he has a tobacco addiction
I want to enjoy one day of my life like this man enjoys 1957 5 Man MRE 24 Hour Ration 20,000 Calorie Meal Ready to Eat.
#41337 tbh
Tell me about it lol
Coffee instant.
So do it.
28:17 “Canned corn times ten” killed me😂
Steve: oh yeah I just gotta take a bite of this
*takes bite of creamer powder*
Steve: oh yeah thats good
HA HA VERY FUNNY REPLY
Notice how there's no health warnings on the cigarettes. Those ARE vintage camels
Well. Before 1945 cigarettes probably weren't that lethal
@@peterzingler6221 They still were, just had less additives. Nic has always been bad
Bad Drivers Of The NorCal Area “THAT lethal.”
You can also tell because they are unfiltered
Heck when I was a kid it was safe to fuel up your car while smoking . lol probably not but they did it anyways
It would be interesting to send samples of the can contents to a biology lab and see what kind of bacteria are living in it.
You'd probably find a new strain of bacteria
We’d find the T-Virus in there..
@@kaelandin along with a, b, c all the way to z-virus
Steve's inmune system would obliterate all bacterias in the universe
TheRogueEight „Eating a 1632 Knight Ration“
This is the best, I love it! You're the best Steve!! Thanks for sharing ☺️☺️☺️
I've never heard somebody get so excited over cigarettes older than my dad...
They are as old as my grandmother
I'm 21 and I don't smoke cigs or vape (used to socially with friends), but if someone offered me a pack of 1950s camels I would act just like Steve lol it's more of a novelty thing
You see, us smokers get really giddy when we come across vintage Camel Non Filter packs.
@@googleuser842 How’s that lung cancer doing?
@@g3orgge788 Pretty good,its coming along nicely
That bread can’t be good he says with a mouthful of the bread
lmao
Most people when they like food: delicious!
Steve: perfectly edible.
Lol! You don't get into the game of eating 20+ year old food and come to expect a reliably desirable experience! When I had to eat MREs, I've seen ones not even a few years old gone bad. It just happens, as the packaging process isn't 100% it is amazing seeing some of the old ones condition, and he still eats some of it! Brave man
🤣
Lol :-)
Most people mean "Food Du jour. Steve means "Food Dis Century!"
I'm so glad there is still people like this around that will just eat anything. Most of these other reviewers don't want to touch anything that is past the sell by date.
"This is definitely not edible anymore"... Eats it.
Anon Ymous I know he has a tendency to eat food after saying he shouldn't but if he had tried to eat that bacon I would have hurled
I love it when Steve literally talks himself into tasting the food
Like eating the literal creamer
I love how steve is like an excited child when he sees cigarettes, he's genuinely happy to find those camels in his MRE, now that's wholesome.
Wholesome as Fuck ‘NAWMEAN?!
SOOOOOOO late coming across this, but I enjoyed it very, very much. Thanks man, you're a brave and entertaining dude.
*Someone farted quietly but Steve heard it*
Steve: Nice hiss
Sniggering quietly in bed at 2.20am trying to not wake the wife 😂
@@jamiestewart48 LMFAOOOOJKJS
Dude that’s fuckin nuts! I’m shutting while I’m watching this and as soon as I read your comment I farted no lie! Hahahaha nice
@@thatoneguyfromupstreetkind7537 nice hiss, nice piss
Thanks! It was a real juicer.
*eats peanut butter*
Hmm, it’s creamy, it’s not even that dry, it’s perfectly edible...
*dies*
😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

Lol

Lol
I talked to a WW2 vet about rations (being a vet myself) and he said the 5 man was living large. They were a total luxury item. C and K rations were totally inferior but the 5 man was far too bulky to stick in your backpack.
Maybe thats why it was called 5 man?
lol, yeah, it was for 5.
The rear echelon dicks stole the best rations for themselves, leaving the shit for the actual fighting men.
Were pack frames available to the GIs of the period?
@@kael2295 I assume he meant his fifth of the ration
Admit it, we were all waiting for him to try the cigarette 😂
Dude the sexual tension when he was smoking that ciggy and he said "mellow" was intense
Nice
Nice hiss
Fuckn ciggy dard
@EnriqueLovinLife Sometimes a cigarette is just a cigarette.
Filterless camels brand new were very smooth but w/0 the filter you could over dose on a drag
I don’t even smoke but the way this guy is enjoying those cigs make them seem delicious 💀
Ciggies from 90s or earlier were definitely flavourful and foul smelling for non smokers. One stick stinks all day. That aroma made me started smoking as a kid.
💀💀
Cigs are only bad in excess
@@bsherman8236 Yeah, it takes me over a month to finish a pack. One or two every few days. Sometimes a week or two without one.
@@zacharyrollick6169 same bro, I don't like to smoke in a hurry, I prefer to do it slowly and with pleasure.
" I cant settle for that, im going to have too poke it with a spoon" nearly pissedmyself.
I said that to the misses on our honeymoon!!
@@Douglas46461 😂🤣😂🤣
I died lol
@@Douglas46461LMFAO 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Looooooooool
still #1 MRE reviewer in 2022 love your work steve.
nothing better than a nice hisssssssssss!!!!
Something wholesome about watching a guy drink coffee and smoke a cigarette
I dont like cigarettes but its really satisfying to watch a guy smoke a old cool cigarette
Cigarettes before they caused cancer
That's what I said
@@concernedcitizen1607 yeah that's how it works 😂😂🤣
@@mrj30 hes right theres way more chemicals and stuff in them now
I want Steve to perform my eulogy when I die, and if he's half as eloquent about me as he is 60 year old bread and rancid peanut butter then I'll be remembered as a legend.
Opens up your casket, "Nice !".
But the peanut butter was still good?
@@iac4357 No hiss, Lets get this out on a tray.
After eating all that he's gonna take a 60 year old dump
😆😆😆
NiCe
He's also gonna say nice hiss at the same Tim
Now he can tell people "I've pooped things older than you."
the poop is older then him Lol
That bread looks like the inside of these old cushions we had when I was a kid. They were ancient.
"Yeah, I can't settle with that, I'm gonna have to poke it with a spoon"
I'm dying, Steve
look at that...Its a saltwater crocodile ...the most dangerous in the world......IMA GO TOUCH IT
MrKneller best bit!
He opens 60 year old mre's like its Christmas
It probably feels like Chrismas to him
the way he oooo yeaaah, ow yea, ooo yeaa.. he's getting off just looking at old rations.
It's kinda cool too see someone so Invested in this. Not many people do these type of videos!
“This is one of the best days of my life”
I was hoping for a new video to drop on New Year’s Day. No such luck, but I’ll watch these old ones anyways.
"I bet they don't have... *Gasp* Wow they have it, CANNED BREAD!!!"
Canned Coochie
Well we have squidward on TH-cam here guys
He way too excited smh
@TheRealJal 2 Yes.
Remember that Squidward quote from the Spongebob series.
This guy is the best promoter for MRE’s. He makes them sound like absolute gourmet meals.
This channel got me to buy some, my favorite is the shredded beef w bbq sauce.
@@austingray6885 i’ve been thinking bout buying some too, seems like it would be a cool experience. Plus the packaging they come in always seem so satisfying to open.
They aren't, trust me, I've ate plenty. I always went with the Vegetarian in the Army because it came with fruit, granola bars, nuts or peanut butter, and candy out the wazoo. I could personally never stand the meat in any of them and I often carried Vienna sausage to the field for protein. I could stand them more than the shit in MREs.
He really does. Like when he said the cigarette had a robust flavor made me wanna light a cigarette up. 🤣🤣
I enjoy this man's positive videos. He could be doing worse things. God bless the fella. 💯✌️
Why do you blow everything out of proportion. The men in my family didn’t get yeast infections is what I meant
That peanut butter actually looks damn good.
ikr
The excitement in Steve’s voice when finding the camels 🐪. So glad to be a part of this opening
