1943 AAF Parachute Ration Survival MRE Review Meal Ready to Eat Tasting Test Oldest Emergency Food K

This WW2 Parachute Ration was used on emergency bailouts and landings. Produced for less than one year, this MRE is one of the rarest. Essentially a K Ration in a can - this is a pioneering survival ration that by 1944 became the Emergency Parachute Ration. Then evolving into Food Packet Survival Arctic and Survival Tropic in 1950. Which then by 1965 was finalized into Food Packet Survival General Purpose - which is still in service to this day.
This ration cost $650. Typically they run between $700-$1,000 in this current market.

Hi Steve. My 7 year old son LOVES your reviews, he thinks you’re so cool that he begged us for his own mre rations for Christmas last year.

Steve, my dad was in the AAF in the Marianas in 1944 - 46. I remember him mentioning the synthetic lemonade and the tropical chocolate. He grew up near Hershey, PA and was not a fan of the chocolate ration. He also said most guys hated the lemonade. He used to tell stories about how they got wood from B-29 parts shipping crates and built an Officers club. (the technical crews actually did finish assembly of some planes on the island) He said the Army had an armed forces radio station and a coca cola bottling plant on the island. But no ice. Allied airforce pilots flew in liquor from the States and beer from Australia but had no mixers for drinks. So apparently there was a great deal of trading between the services because the Navy had ice. Anyway he told a story about once drinking vodka mixed with iced "lemonade" in the officers club. Some guys set him up by not telling him the lemonade was spiked. He guzzled it down but didn't want to let on that he'd been fooled. "So I didn't say anything, and proceeded to read the news paper upside down." Nice. Love your videos. Miss you dad.

At this point he’s the life cereal kid mixed with the kid that would eat worms. He’ll try anything even if it’s gross.

I watch far to many of these Steve. Was in a takeaway at lunchtime with three work colleagues, normally it is a grab and go, but today we had time to sit down. As I put my tray down I said "Alright let's get this onto a tray....nice!" Showed them one of your video's and we all started moving our food about. Best bit was a lad from the next table leans over and says "MRE Steve video's are the best" then his table starts the tray thing lol.

[@firehawk128]

I appreciate that you open these and even are crazy enough to taste them!

[@hunam3876]

Dear God, don't let Steve die today. Tomorrow would be so much better!

[@Webexplr]

1:56 This somehow made me laugh, the lid fell down like, "no, don't eat this..."

[@redtango75]

Thank you so much for sharing your collection with the world. Keep up the great videos!

[@charitysheppard4549]

I just absolutely love your videos!! I am especially fond of the vintage rations. As a history buff, I have learned so much from watching and am really impressed with your knowledge.

Phenomenal Steve! A small part of me is sad to see it opened but how awesome of you to give everyone the chance to see this amazing piece of history! I truly enjoy your videos and I sincerely appreciate all you do to share these amazing videos. You have an awesome style of presenting your reviews and I hope you will continue to pursue this project indefinitely! I so enjoy seeing these vintage rations and the history that comes with them. Take care my friend!

[@Steve1989MRE]

Thanks so much Black Hat!

[@MickeyD2012]

It's a little sad to see a piece of history go away like that, but from it's loss comes so much learning. Thank you, Steve.

[@mickd6942]

Nice , the bob ross of ration reviews , never heard such a chilled out voice, excellent, where else could you see this, fasinating and informative

[@vampboiclique6091]

Thank you Steve. Keep up the great work.

[@leisergeist]

"I feel the cheese fumes going through me" Sounds like a super hero origin story... Steve is going to wake up as Rancid Cheese Man one day

[@dominicidejig]

[@SenderBudYerGood]

Who else holds their breath when he opens the seal just to hear the hiss?

[@Alex-pc1hw]

These are great to watch while eating.

[@TraceyAllen]

Yeah I always watch then whilst I make dinner.

[@alastairward2774]

I watch them weekends when my daughter visits. Only one she couldn't stomach was the Boer War ration.

[@sizzlethestozzle8885]

The way you narrate your videos definitely make your videos the best!!!! I want a shirt that says, let's get this on a tray, nice!!!

[@694069406940]

[@andypdq]

What a disaster, lacking basic nutritional essentials for the 1940s, no cigarettes, how could you possibly survive?
