1987 Vintage MRE Ground Beef Review + 54 Year C Ration Peanut Butter Eating Oldest Military Food

Checking out some 29 year old beef and 54 year old peanut butter.
You can't always count on vintage MRE's to still be fresh - it's always a toss-up. And this one sure is a mixed bag - So check out how it fares!
Throwing in a little something extra in the end. This was a fun one - hope you enjoy it too!
Thank you for the first year (as of last night around 8pm) on KZbin. This has been one heck of a year - and let's hope to stick around for many more!

NICE HISS™
I'LL BE COMING BACK AT YOU WITH SOMETHING NEW OR OLD, ALRIGHT COOL SEE YA™

[@GeminiWoods]

My dad brought home a huge cargo crate full of late 80s and early 90s MRE's when I was young. We'd take them camping or just sit outside and eat them on a summer day. I have good memories of those simple times. Unfortunately hes no longer around, but these videos take me back to my childhood and even choke me up a little, depending on the ration of course. Funny right? Anyways, thanks for these videos, man... Nice!

[@adamkatt]

Nice!

[@L0WPEZ1]

[@mrleemetford5361]

[@Melissa0774]

The music and the old pictures at the beginning of this video, give it the nostalgic educational feel of one of those old film strips they used to show at my elementary school back in the early '90's.

[@KP-ox5yo]

"Its like weird swamp water you know?" "Let's try that out".

[@JimmyJowns]

*Snake readies to attack Steve* Steve - "Nice hiss"

[@Perktube1]

Snake: Oh, uh… thanx! Ok you're cool, I won't bite.

[@JimmyJowns]

[@user-zt6fu2px4b]

How much time are you doing? 😀

[@pyrojinn]

When you watch too much SteveMRE you instinctively say "nice hiss" when he open some air sealed bags.

[@forgottenvoid2183]

Pearce Aiden between the nice hiss and the let's put this on a tray its just amazing

[@dylanchampion9948]

old comment i know but i do agree i mean its that bad that i bought new headphones just to listen for a hiss

[@largesoda6524]

[@MrMoe160]

so, i didn't even know opening MRE`s on youtube was a thing until fairly recently, but aparently it is, and aparently i love it. And your channel is without a doubt the one im enjoying the most. You`re charming, funny and informative, you have great voice, and you just seem so darned nice. I am currently 2 weeks into some pretty hardcore Insomnia, so thanks for keeping me company throughout the night, and keep up the wonderful work, will be coming back for more 10 out of 10, good stuff.

[@SailingWithVampires]

You should take a tour to the places that make this stuff!

[@mershaq8404]

Steve1989 MREinfo that would be a very interesting video, if they let you film it of course.

[@HelenaRedgrave]

Aw Steve, you're spoiling us with all these videos

[@claudiot315]

Redgrave192 He's spoiling us with videos of him eating spoiled food... 👌 Im all for it!

[@Jigglysaint]

So happy smell-O-vsion has not been invented.

[@gundog4314]

I love this stuff....

[@xxbryton5376]

Hey gundog

[@rat7710]

Wow, thanks for all the videos, Steve!

[@danmetallica2973]

A satisfying sound when steve opens the cans in fast forward

[@gschultz9]

First off, Happy Anniversary Steve! What an amazing year it's been for you and the ration review community! Second, it's too bad (but not surprising of course) that the entree had gone bad on that MRE. It was very cool that everything else was good (practically like opening up one of those fabled frozen MREs!). I'm still so psyched that I got that surprise FD Strawberries in the one you sent me! It's always a surprise (sometimes pleasant, sometimes not so pleasant) to open up something from 1987, 1962 or whenever and seeing what did and did not survive the passage of time. Anyway, glad to see you're still eating history...one ration at a time. Nice!

[@Iridium242]

Those chocolate cookies are amazing. I just got a pack of them from a local vendor here.. great stuff. Good to know they will stand the test of time :)

[@rcgusto2427]

Excellent as always man! The peanut butter looked amazing

[@anthonyhd67]

I'm so happy I found you're channel a year ago. I'm in the army and everyone calls me crazy for liking MRE's so much. They were surprised when I also said I subscribe to you're channel. Keep up the good work!

[@turbowolf302]

[@xSmoKinGun]

Thanks for taking us back in time and educating us. Takes alot of guts to try out some of that stuff, especially the very old MRE’s. May God protect you

[@WCL31986]

How funny! I remember eating those first generation MREs when I was in the Persian Gulf. We lived on them for 6 months straight. Thanks for the walk down memory lane Steve! You earned a like and a follow.

[@tombyron7447]

Showing us spiced beef from 1987 and the guns! Very thankful for all the recent vids!

[@sallythatgirl8173]

“...a little nibble...” gets me every time 😎 the extra cracker unit had the best commentary.

[@TummaTime45]

Man I could watch these videos everyday. So interesting seeing these old meals and what they contain in them. Keep up the awesome videos Steve!!!!

[@leiawarriormaiden]

*Steve opens the dried peach square:* "like a styrofoam block of gold!" Nice!

[@killakriq6144]

"Lets get this out on a tray... Nice!" I dont know why I find that line so satisfying every time!

[@Dagger-Deep]

You're the best Steve, don't ever stop making these videos.

[@trevorbodnar5495]

One of my teachers at school told me about a time he used the peanut butter for signalling when they were lost during an excercise in the Philippines.

[@dylanrobertson4807]

you are the Bob Ross of eating MREs.....that voice is like chocolate velvet lol

[@ajdawson6405]

Steve! These uploads have been my highlight in the last few days! I love your work, and hope you have an endless supply of interesting rations to sample!

[@marksmangalactic9050]

Man, your videos are literally the best thing to get stoned and watch.

[@rickyravioli1172]

Can't go wrong with a classic MRE review. Reminds me of the first time I watched one of your videos. Keep up the great work!

[@katiehenson6416]

I am obsessed with your videos! I find it so fascinating what they provided our troops during the years and then what different countries think is important my favorites are definitely the older ones with the different cigs in them. Thank you for being brave and trying these for our viewing pleasure and knowledge!

[@tk848]

Wow these are the exact MRE's I remember eating. I was in the Army from 87-91. I loved those cookie bars!

[@TheHaos1]

I really like these vintage MRE openings,they are like a trip back in time, that being said i do prefer the new ones,the reviews you make on them,makes me smile all throughout the video ,they look delicious and your reactions and descriptions of the taste and smell are enjoyable ,plus it's really interesting to see what the current military is being fed .MORE !

[@roberthardin1436]

Christmas came early with four new videos this week... Nice!

[@LetsGoFlyers2011]

Amazing how entertaining this is; and the super-speed can opening is killer! Subscribed!

[@smashrhythm]

[@LeadHalo]

After a long day I like to soak in a hot bath and relax listening to Steve's smooth voice... Nice..

[@TheSmokininja]

I stumbled on you . Love your videos. Great to use to relax n fall asleep to . No loud noises, interesting and no ads. Love u bro

[@MarcusDrall]

The music, man! I must have it! I won't stop!

[@AyyItsMeee]

I’m obsessed with these videos... why? Who knows but I can’t stop watching!!!!

[@Ne1vaan]

"It's like weird swamp water, you know... let's try that out" Classic.

[@krazykat64]

The ground spiced beef always tasted like really cheap spaghetti sauce to me. Oh, and the next time you get some dehydrated peaches try reconstituting them in some water with the coffee creamer. They're much better that way.

[@LiveLoveCHXBeach]

Yes, I thought I remembered that!

[@fluke8928]

Nice hiss is my favorite statement of all time now 😂

[@giuliomorleo8194]

I actually had Menu no. 9 meatballs, beef and rice, in spicy tomato sauce, from 1991 with all the components in perfect conditions, even the main. That was amazing

[@Th3N3dinator]

Genuinely everything about your reviews are laid back. I'm always checking for when new reviews come online because you have a real love of the subject and a keen pallette. I also like the fact you eat the things most people wouldnt so we don't have to. Ever need any good old rat-packs from the UK let me know, I'm swimming in the things over here.

[@reddevilparatrooper]

The C-Rat "John Wayne Candy Bar"was the shit back then if it had the toffee crunch in it.The peanut butter you put G.I. bug juice with it and light it up as emergency fuel to heat up your C-Rat cans.

[@goaztecs7549]

YAY! The vintage 80's vinyl is back! Frank Zappa too.

[@UnagiSushi]

Love the content Steve, really appreciate the experiences you're putting to video.

[@loviemonroe21]

Daaaamn Steve! Back at it again with the MRE uploads 😍😍

[@reeffeeder]

Great editing Steve, love your videos

[@echohare4249]

heck yea. you've been spoiling us. You're one winsome fella Steve. the zappa cameos always make me extra happy. Keep killing it.

[@buggsyspam]

I think that the freeze dried peaches (eaten as a dry snack) was one of my favorite things out of those older MREs.

[@mayen67]

I wish supermarket did there own versions of MREs, there somthing about them I find so satisfyingly.

[@ghost.888]

"let's gets this on the tray, NICE!" *blips on the next screen on tray* always make me laugh on these!!! but great reviews!

[@Matt-rh6ef]

Been watching your channel for awhile man keep it up! Mre's are so fascinating

[@mrblisterfist]

"Those nuts---they're gonna get ya!"

[@justanotherwarrobotschanne5774]

I was in the Navy 1982 to 1988. We used to trade with the Marines and MREs were really popular trade goods. The Navy still used C rations although it was very rare to actually eat the things. Even during combat opps we could brown bag it. I never reconstituted the beef patty, just ate it like a cookie. The coffee creamer packs served in the mess were so old they were no longer a powder but they still dissolved in the coffee. Not saying much there. So did cast iron.

[@GeorgiaHvacAndMore]

What were the dates on the C rations? Late 70’s or 1980?

[@NoLuv505]

Steve I love your channel I found it like 1 to 2 weeks ago and I can't stop watching it

[@metalchefjeff666]

thank you for doing these videos. and sweet Zappa record. His nephew Buddy Zappa lives near me in Palm Bay Florida usa. great guy. have seen his band and had drinks and many conversations with him. Humble respectful fast and well spoken. we enjoy each others fast talking due to being from the northeast and being down in Florida, many slow talkers. again though thank you for the videos.i had my first MRE in 1990 from my cousin who is a retired Captain in the Army Rangers. he was a private at the time and was visiting us in Massachusetts and gave it to me.i still have the can opener and i remember it being really salty.

[@Lunchbox79]

Wow my brother and I LOVED the freeze dried fruit we would get from my dad's MREs when he was in the Guard in the 80's. Also the smell of the accessory packets is unforgettable.

[@eniram]

Every time you do the "Nice!" transition I crack up. It's my favorite part of your videos.

[@evilspeak5702]

That "Nice!" was particularly nice this time. Nice!

[@iBenny_x]

Loving the uploads steve!! Keep it up! I really enjoy watching these

[@coreycouch4942]

Can you do a video on your vintage army collections? we all know you gotta have some great stuff in that house !

[@Slagomancer]

My usage of "Nice!" has gone up some incredible percentage since I stumbled into one of these videos and started down this rabbit hole.

[@bignothings8703]

"The history, the science...and to try out some really weird old food" Think you summed up your channel man! Love it.
