2013 MRE - Modular Operational Ration Enhancement (MORE) Hot Weather Pack #3 Review Corn Nuts

[@kekelaward]

All that stuff can be eaten while tabbing around, without having to use any cup or utensils. just open and dump it down your neck. In the case of the drinks, mix it with water, shake and drink it from the pouch. You'd really be flying if you ate that entire MORE at one time.

[@HelloMrBrahms]

"lets put this on a tray" .... missing the "Nice !" :( :( :(

[@__The_Real_V__]

HelloMrBrahms , Let's put this on a tray, *NICE!*

[@maxparker1321]

Verruckter Schakal I know right man 😭 I was all excited for it to he sounds down and sad

[@user-td1zo3tv9p]

Since I'm watching this over 2 years after it was put out, but I, too, missed the expected "Nice!" that I have come to expect and enjoy. Not only that, but his signature sign off about coming back with something new, (pauses) or old was missing. I felt like a kid on Christmas Morning, getting a box of a toy I'd been waiting ALL year long for, then opening it and instead of the toy, it is filled with packages of underwear. I wanna bust out crying. LOL (PS, that never happened to me. But I heard about it from a friend.) :-(

[@maybenotyt8353]

Verruckter Schakal :(

[@SwagDemon]

I am hooked on these videos

[@petrabenach3771]

Found them just as we were entering quarantine-time - they are saving my ass from utter boredom.

[@AlQaeda198]

dude this is the most original put together youtuber ive ever seen u have urself a subscriber bud

[@Penfold8]

You too can eat like a bird with this MRE!

[@hobojyk7435]

Fantasy comes true

[@magaman49]

You're supposed to eat this on top of your other meals

[@KatbotZ]

My brother joined the navy last year and is out on his first deployment. These videos help me feel closer to him!

[@marshalladams9985]

I don't think the navy eats these aboard there ships

[@kranderkrander]

Looks better than my school lunch. :I

[@claudiot315]

So fucking true m8... straight up shit on a plate at my school.

[@asliceofvariety4821]

Yeah for real

[@jdmxpeach9544]

bring your own lunch then, i always prepared and cooked food for my school in senior years m8

[@slumpedxx5364]

This channel has the best MRE reviews I've seen love this channel

[@WhoWantsToKnow81]

I had an acquaintance in ROTC in college, and he brought a couple of MREs for me and a friend to try out. If I remember correctly, it was with baked beans. To heat it up there was this plastic tube of sorts which you had to break, causing a chemical reaction which would heat it up. The MRE was placed on it. I have to admit, the food was pretty tasty!

[@ErikJensenDetroit]

Steve, your presentation style has improved by leaps and bounds in the past year!

[@TomChucklehead]

Came over from gschultz. Love your videos mate, keep up the good work!

[@jacobsonofhera]

The colours of those drinks is frightening

[@HumanCarBomb]

Hmmmm....come to think of it, so is Mountain Dew!!

[@Lordmalik13]

I don't guess you've ever drank anything that was a powder mix like tang or lime coolaid.

[@brunoraoni]

They have the same color of any powder mix juice out there...

[@Justin-kv8iy]

Piss and radiated piss

[@denmanfite3156]

Piss and nuclear piss.

[@Dazt4r]

I'm so glad you got that view bump from Reddit, I hope it inspires you to make more content, these sorts of old, weird and unconventional rations are really a treat.

[@sprinkles512]

I like how the older mre's like the ones in the sixties have like 6 ingredients and all the new ones have like 50 and most of them you dont even know what they are

[@tk-5268]

Yes!

[@SkelNeldory]

+degree7 Yeah, it seems more likely that they just wouldn't list the ingredients. By the way it's time for your vitamin shots. I promise it's only vitamins.

[@Baku69895]

+Skel Neldory They certainly have raised standards for showing nutrition. Regardless this meal looked pretty good to me at least.

[@ALegitimateYoutuber]

ya but the quality of the meals have improved. Those additional ingredients have improved the flavor and self life of the food. Plus they have allowed for a few new possibilities when if comes to meals.

[@yoyoholck]

in vietnam, the Vietnamese bodies decayed within a few days while american bodies decayed about 2 weeks later due to the chemicals in american foods.

[@kevinmoore2929]

great presentation as usual. yeah, corn nuts aren't the best choice in a noise restriction scenario, lol. but then again, I ate the freeze dried fruit cocktail straight from the package on road marches when available. love apples but I've never been a fan of applesauce for whatever reason but I'd probably find someway to make it more palatable or just suck it up and drive on. the Orange has always been weak for whatever reason so I'd probably trade with someone if I didn't have one in my MRE.

[@kevinmoore2929]

The corn nuts have their place but I guess they "ran out" of ideas of what to put in here *coughcough*oatmealbar*cough cough*cerealbar*coughcough*....I was a coffee drinking fool back then so I'd probably make that deal! If they'd just give them enough to fill one canteen, that would be great! A cherry base powder or one of the new Gatorade flavors would be a marked improvement. Even lemon tea would work better.

[@FoolishDoug]

+Steve1989 MREinfo As much as I like corn nuts I'd rather have more trail mix or a big piece of chocolate in that pack.

[@Jaybird196]

+Steve1989 MREinfo It had better be dark chocolate, if it's gonna be warm out. Hot weather was the reason for the Hershey Tropical chocolate bar (and, the D-ration " Logan bar"). Although, I hear Nestle and Cadbury are working on a heat stable milk chocolate bar ('has something to do with the finer grains of sugar and hydrogenation of the milk fats, I hear).

[@FoolishDoug]

Jaybird196 They get tired of adding cheap paraffin wax to chocolate finally?

[@Jaybird196]

+FoolishDoug Nestle, or Cadbury?

[@dingo7055]

I came home from work and was like "Oh cool, a new video from Steve1989 of those cool MORE rations".. I sat down, cracked open a beer, sat back and enjoyed the show (that mocha bar looks fantastic - again great hiking food).. Great video - then I got a pleasant surprise in the credits.. :) Thanks for the shout out man, and keep up the cool reviews :) Also - those corn nuggets are actually available at my local supermarket as some kind of exotic health food, "Gluten free snack" for an insane amount per packet. They're delicious, but kind of ironic considering MRE's are usually put together cheaply... So many ration reviews though, I need to catch up on Gundog's stuff...

[@Jaybird196]

+Steve1989 MREinfo Man, to think someone is out there selling overpriced "Corn-Nuts" (sighs, and shakes head).

[@maaththecreator]

this is better food than u get in the supermarkets

[@tacticalsweater5119]

+matt k supertramp Walmart maybe but not a whole food spot.

[@n1ghtblur]

+Ibram Gaunt I live right next to Walmart headquarters so our Walmarts are all packed with fresh produce (some organic, too) and great food, the milk is actually processed in the town I live in. I dunno how it is in other places in the country but we're definitely blessed here in Northwest Arkansas.

[@IncurZeAwperator]

+Samuel Thomas at walmart where i live it is all highly processed and the fruit is not fresh. not impressive but obviously u got the nice walmart

[@n1ghtblur]

+IncurZe Awperator oh yeah, here in Arkansas, pretty much anywhere in Arkansas, they're all awesome. full of fresh, good produce. great meat. a wealth of processed shit too because they sell everything under the sun.

[@tacticalsweater5119]

Samuel Thomas That's good to hear, I love hearing about people who can support local growers. I work for wm but I shop at Hy Vee, and Mama Jeans, good places for quality groceries.

[@chrisyboy666]

You know your struggling when all you've got is coffee whitener to eat for 2 days lol.But for some reason they are the best memories I have.

[@garageman_]

That would be rough as a dog lmao

[@captainsquirrel0500]

What is coffee whitener

[@garageman_]

The stuff you put into your coffee to whiten it, similar to cream but in powder form.

[@chrisyboy666]

+CaptainSquirrel0 +CaptainSquirrel the powder milk we used to get in our NATO ration packs in Bosnia spent many a week operational in the middle of some random forest dug in staying invisible with no where near enough rations or any means to re supply having to obey radio silence Intel gathering 👍🇬🇧

[@ProudCroatian99]

This guy talks like he's reviewing food for a 5 star restaurant in Paris France.

[@LtKamarov]

That means he has a good tongue and taste.

[@Sjjejejjdjdjejej]

Mi Hrvati! :))

[@BenjaminGoose]

Surely it'd mean the opposite?

[@MrJasonWell]

lol

[@alexrennison8070]

As opposed to Paris, North Korea?

[@robertwilliamcurl1490]

One of my favorite channels! I've got some old C rations that are put away in storage from when my dad was in the NCNG. He worked in supply and they found a stash of them, so they've been sitting around for years. He found them in the early 80s and I can remember wanting to open em (I'm 37 now) to see what they taste like as a kid. If I can find em I'll gladly send some to check out and I might still have some more modern MREs from around 2000-2008 while I was in.

[@Lumpytusk]

6:33 "I wanted lemon-lime, it gave me orange!" "The M-O-R-E would not make a mistake."

[@HeathBlythe]

Nice presentation, capturing thumbnails, and awesome commentary. Keep it up!

[@elms2588]

I just love your voice.

[@ashleyfreeman7982]

Great video Brotane! I really enjoy the respect to detail. In watching, I actually feel like I am opening and trying everything. I am very interested in how this will continue to evolve over time!

[@bokneeza]

Last time I've eaten an MRE food was when Katrina went down, love these videos dude.

[@0minous187]

when hes talking about eating the corn nuts and being stealth about it, all i can think of is family guy when peter's in the attic with the jews eating the chips as the nazis are below lol

[@bossmang1]

Got any 1992 scrambled eggs mre? I had a few after Hurricane Andrew and lots of rolls of Copenhagen.. They hooked us up here in South Florida

[@Drewseph-qc4gv]

I lived in Daytona that year I kinda remember there being some rain although that was during my party years...lol

[@mr.sirhoffer5553]

I literally said "nice" out loud after he said "alright lets put this on a tray"........never been so disappointed.

[@XiHawkeye]

i love how that white powder smells:))))

[@albertohinojosa1842]

Oh my...

[@NicolasT94]

dammit

[@mayo9038]

my dad used to give me mre for lunch in 3rd grade and I loved eating that and a lot of people think it's weird I wish I still had mre

[@bobthompson4319]

shout out to Steve. hope you and your family and friends are ok and doing well and safe from the hurricanes in your area.

[@GleepGlorp19]

"Alright, let's put this on a tray." Literally puts all the unopened shit on a tray. Laughed pretty good at that one and that is why I subbed.

[@alexanderdegtyarev1675]

Great video Steve! I'm really starting to think these are more like stand-alone "Snack" MREs. Almost like "FSR Lite".

[@alexanderdegtyarev1675]

+Steve1989 MREinfo I don't know what to say! That's mighty generous. Many thanks! I'll send you a message in FB Steve MREInfo. I'll probably just keep that one in my vault for it's story and historic value coming from you.

very good review. idk why these videos are so addicting

[@stirve674]

Those powdered drinks were the best things in the ration packs they gave us in the Finnish army :D Those things can really help you when you have to go to trough 50+ kilometer marches

[@bookinggamez3792]

can't wait for the people of 2064 to review this and say it smells vile

[@Cyberjunked2077]

"Alright, let's get this on a tray... Alright, lookin' good" Made me laugh out loud! Thanks for the uploads, you do great ration reviews!

[@gotanesp]

The food channel needs to feature a show with you in it called military meals and vocabulary with steve....lol

[@stevenking2980]

I LOVE the music... It's great. Reminds me of.a Vietnam movie from the 80's

[@danm9326]

haha I started laughing when he said "alright let's put this on a tray" and I expected to be all opened already and neatly done but no it was all piled up on the tray haha idk I just found that funny.

[@johnavery466]

By far the tastiest looking MRE I've ever seen

this guy is the coolest "food reviewer" ever

Why am I watching these? I have eaten and viewed every single one of these components like 100 times. Must be Steve's voice 😂😂

[@Captt95]

bro i just subscribed to your channel because this is great stuff you have.

[@psychonaut1829]

Those damn corn nuts got my whole platoon whipped out. Why do they have to make them so crunchy😫

[@abio123]

why am i fascinated with these videos... how did i get here..

[@cjsadman3750]

Oh look its more radioactive material sweet!

[@tylerbryanhead]

anytime I eat MRE'S for more than 2 days I have to poop every 20 minutes

[@Broxty]

That's odd... When we eat MREs in the field you shit literally a brick at the end of the week, with nothing during the week.

[@HumanCarBomb]

+Broxty Sounds like an opiod problem! lol O_o

[@Lordmalik13]

I would assume it has to do with fiber content. The one he turned around had 17% Dietary fiber in it. Fiber allows you to pass more quickly and softly.

[@DavidSkizzle]

I love this guy's voice

[@jedifrontc]

this is the comfiest channel on youtube

[@thatskillit4423]

Right at the mocha bar he sounds like a legit fancy food specialist

[@MrPuRpLeHaZ3]

this is a really cool channel glad I found this

[@99nerka]

Your tempo of publishing new vids is impressive. Any ETA on "ye olde rations" or opening of "pouch of doom" :D ?

[@99nerka]

+Steve1989 MREinfo Great, hopefully you have some polish rations in your inventory and won't be to disgusted to try it after what appeared to be swamp inside one of those you wanted to eat. I must say i was quite suprised since i searched for polish MRE reviews since i live in Poland and watched a few. It's first time i saw such fail. Speaking of which not sure if you heard of him but FlankerTanker did quite few reviews on diffrent polish rations. Also something to note: not sure if this ration you had was military or civilian since ARPOL company that made it makes both.

[@99nerka]

+Steve1989 MREinfo Hooray :) If you need help with translation on PL rations let me know ;)

[@greaserreviews1474]

+Steve1989 MREinfo Cool. I was gonna ask you if you had anything from the early 60s cause I've seen very few from pre-Vietnam but post-50s.

[@LimuEmu420]

Love revisiting the classics :)

[@jamielacourse7578]

That Zapplesauce is some good eating.

[@glg1320]

man u make me sleepy, kinda enjoyed that

[@ChuckJTaylor]

As you go on don't conform to the quietness of the other reviewers. One thing I love about your reviews is all the stories you tell as you talk and review. Great review, always wanted to try one of the First Strike Ration bars, preferably not mocha though. Who knows I could be proven wrong about mocha. Hopefully I can get my hands on one eventually! Keep reviewing!!! :)

[@milou285]

Just wanted to ask something because I'm in college and money is pretty tight. I'd like to try a few MRE's, but 8 dollars for a meal is insane. Is there anywhere I can get it for a little bit cheaper?

[@yomamaisaniceperson2707]

Ay man if you're still wondering, type MRE into amazon and the first box is 5-6ish a meal

[@anotherstupidhipster3551]

Steve, we need you to finish the other 3 MORE packs!

[@shrinjaymukherjee7297]

This struck me slightly, because these are the exact MREs we get in Cadets (Royal Canadian Air Cadets 781 Squadron). Are these also used by the US military, because I always thought they were civilian versions? PS: The Applesauce and orange beverage powder are universally hated in our Cadet squadron. So you're not the only one who dislikes the orange powder.

[@casbah1982]

BBQ Pork with Rice was my first MRE I ate in boot camp; and I made sure it was the last MRE I had before I discharged. It ended up being my all-time favorite MRE!! Glad I was not stuck with Tuna Noodle Casserole as my first, lol!

[@ramairgto72]

I love that First Strike bar.

[@AxDooshxBag]

Why did the frame switch at 4:51 immediately after the applesauce leaves the shot

[@markm0000]

He may have accidentally hit zoom in instead of zoom out.

[@djentrification1631]

1:47 Now, was that REALLY necessary to show?

[@sitiaishah2260]

[@rikkiboodram2911]

This might be a crazy question but is this rashion Intended for Desert or Hot climate situations?

[@tylerbryanhead]

It depends, is it a hot or cold dessert

[@tylerbryanhead]

+Tyler Head *desert

[@budmeister]

+Tyler Head I could go for some delicious hot or cold dessert :9

[@John-kb5pj]

it's really intended just for any weather that isn't constantly freezing. if the weather is below freezing constantly ideally you will get cold weather mres that come in a white bag and consists of freeze dried food that need to be heated with boiling water, first strike bars, and a lot of drink mixes. cold weather mres are fucking tits.

[@JavaChipFrappe]

+Tyler Head I learned a little poem to know which is which. you'd only want to be in the desert once but you'll have dessert twice.

[@firstgroupoperations8921]

the best apple sauce of alltime right there

[@zubdub2506]

You want to actually have one to enjoy? Get the Meatball Marinara MRE, or the Beef Taco. I always make it a point to try and hunt those down when we're in the field or on a range day.

[@Delta5x7]

The only food channel I like, By the way, chilli macs are better

[@dannsullivan475]

how would one go about acquiring MREs like this

Why the hell is it so expensive to buy these packs...?

[@CAMSLAYER13]

They arent cheap to make (or even made any more) and they also arent sold to the public in any significant amount.

[@foxtrotvx8282]

Zapple sauce... Man, where was that stuff in my MREs?

[@gabegomez2386]

i sure do love some zapple sauce

[@michaelmartin9022]

After the war in Britain they sold lemon and lime or orange fizzy drinks as powder, called "Lingfo-Fizz", the ads for it are all over 40's comics. Maybe they were leftover rations? Japan has an "ion water" drink called Pocari Sweat, which you can buy in powder form, wonder if the SDF get it?

[@batchman04]

You can almost eat that meal at home while watching a movie or your favorite tv show or maybe a game. Pretty cool meal.

[@Krogoth04]

Is it called modular because it's not necessarily intended to be completely eaten in one sitting? Looks like a pack of stand alone snacks designed to keep you going in between the meal MREs.
