The funny thing is platoon was made in 1987. So when the dude was complaining about the turkey loaf. This thing was rotting away somewhere already for 19 years then. :P

I was reading comments after the pineapple was dumped on the tray. Looked up and saw the cup of coffee. For a split second, I thought Steve was going to drink the pineapple bits.😂

[@godzilla5599]

LOL! that coca powder was made at Cannery Row in Monterey!! my grandma worked there canning peaches a long time before I was born (think 1940's) In '68 her and my very young mom were living in Salinas,CA just up the road,granddad was the trainmaster at Salinas depot.

"What am I doin' with my life" Basically reviewing MREs from the olden time, saying "nice!" When putting the contents onto a tray, enjoying the instant type 1 coffee, smelling and saying "gnarly" and "rancid" at almost everything bad, and eating the rest. Interesting? Yeah.

[@Rishi609ass]

You got that wrong mate . It's instant type 2

[@teddietwee3061]

I'm graduating on a project about the Vietnam war, I read about these rations in Michael Herr's Dispatches for my research so this was real fun to watch, giving me an image of what the foods used to be like :) good work, quite entertaining! greetings from the Netherlands!

I saw a shirt that said Made in 1989, 30 years of awesomeness and thought of you Steve. Keep up the good work, love your videos, because it's history and interesting to see what's inside those things. And most important of all connects you back to the people of that time period.

Your commentary makes this fun for anyone to watch dude, and thanks for all the knowledge! Keep up the good work!

Ahhh steve thanks for making me laugh. Keep these awesome vids coming!!!

[@PercyPumpkinheart]

Just discovered your channel. Man, I thought Stuart Ashen was bold in his old food videos, but you definitely take it to a new level! I would think pineapple would be too acidic to allow botulism to form, although bacterial growth of any kind could produce swelling like that, I suppose. But I'm no expert.

Cutting yourself while opening rancid botulinium toxin laced canned food....isn't that also the first scene from "Night of the Living Dead"?

[@Gokhan1606]

there is no blood spelled anywhere, just a scratch you know.

[@kayleymeredith5463]

He would be better off if it did bleed- anytime you get cut or poked with something questionable try to force some blood, it helps clean the wound and hopefully push out some bacteria from the inside.

Couldn't resist watching since this was my favorite! The trick to full enjoyment was to save the cheese from another box, melt the cheese and pour it over the loosened turkey. That's living. The P38 was also called a John Wayne and we wore it on our dog tags. Look for a pack of Old Golds for real smoking pleasure. Let me know when you do the c-rat ham and eggs! My mouth is watering...

Hey, I found your channel through the MRE website, good stuff dude. I think I found myself another hobby, MRE reviewer and collector, lol. By the way, if I was you opening those cans with a P38, I would wear a pair of Mechanicx gloves with the plastic gloves on top. The Mechanicx gloves to protect yourself from cuts and the plastic gloves to protect the Mechanicx's from the rotted food. JMO, keep up the good work!
