If you put the sugar into the creamer packet and roast it on a stove, you get what we called 'ranger cookies' which are not bad, but also not that great. Still. And that vacuum sealed pack from Oregon Freeze Dry (97321) was made in my home town when I was a kid and live about 2 miles from that plant. Thanks for the memories Skip!

This meal was one of the most sought after in C-rations. It was added to the menu pretty late in the C-ration game, C-rats were not bad but definitely better hot than cold. The downside was humping the meals but eating the food lightened your load. The metal cans could make noise so we packed them in our spare sox. They left a lot of trash that would tell the enemy where we had been if it wasn’t disposed of properly.

[@BlackPawn14]

Simple, yet effective food science in play here. All water removed + good pasteurizing to kill all pathogens + perfectly-sealed package = not a chance for it to go bad. Military rations are packaged with more extreme measures than usual food rations, since they need to stay good for very long periods of time (military stuff is always serious businesses, so you can expect top-quality processing and packaging, especially if the biggest military budget in the planet's paying for it). It's most likely the spaghetti was freeze-dried to remove all water, then the whole thing was pasteurized after packaged, to kill all pathogens, which is why it lasted for as long as the package stays sealed (it won't last forever, because the package itself will eventually wear out, but it definitely lasts more than 50 years). And, yeah, the cookie with the white spots was most likely good as well. Chocolate sometimes "blooms" when stored in cold conditions, as the sugar and/or fat gets out of the mix. However, once mixed back up (once you start munching on it, for example), it will taste as good as usual.

Steve 1989: "Hold my Chesterfield's....................................nice"

[@HappyHellscapes]

The white stuff on the chocolate is most likely safe to eat, it’s just separated fat and oil. Watch Steve1989MREinfo on KZbin, he opens and eats old mres like this all the time.

[@Uniquelyyours1]

Yes, it's called blooming.

[@mikeburch2998]

Yes, I've seen Steve eat the white shit off of chocolate and it seems to be no problem.

[@michaelhowarth8331]

It makes it taste a bit powdery but it’s still safe to eat.

[@Lick-Avolley-ball-Wilson]

i thought he read off almonds.. in the ingredients... thought it was almonds.

[@alexanderkubetin2455]

Nice !!!

[@joshuanassar8991]

Plot twist the MRE was so bad it instantly gave Kevin a brain tumor which restricted his ability to taste anything bad anymore

[@carrisasteveinnes1596]

The brain tumour was the result of the Gender Studies and Social Justice degrees he'd completed. And the $150K bill.

[@peteryanesmendez7851]

I enjoyed watching Beast enjoying the food in a challenge so much more than the pain he goes through normally lol.

[@Quedibbzz]

When he showed beans from even stevens, I almost shit myself

[@sylviaparraz6963]

What happened to Beans hair! Lol he still looks the exact same!

LA Beast is the most wholesome and based youtuber, no question

[@worldmonstrosity502]

His toilet had a lot of personality disorders throughout the years.

[@starryeyes5860]

This guys ability to describe what hes feeling and tasting is just next level.

[@EddyG0rdo]

It’s in his facial expressions as well. Pretty dope.

[@MarkoPolo2196]

The most patriotic food challenge he's done yet

[@aprilmendenhall6705]

How dare you imply this is more patriotic than him swallowing whole hot dogs and consuming mustard through a self inserted nasogastric tube 😂

“White flecks and spots on your chocolate bar are signs of either a “fat bloom” or a “sugar bloom,” and it's totally natural. Fat bloom is that waxy white coating that forms due to liquid fat like milk fats or cocoa butter moving through the chocolates and crystalizing on the surface”

Those white flecks on the chocolate are most likely because of fat separation in the chocolate due to age. Good video, that was fun to watch! Let's get this man a tray lol

[@moralcompass8457]

Called bloom. People think its mold usually

Correct. Harmless.

[@deathbymybox]

Still, good on the Beast to be cautious, and not eat it

[@moralcompass8457]

@@joegti10 Chocolate bloom is either of two types of whitish coating that can appear on the surface of chocolate: fat bloom, caused by changes in the fat crystals in the chocolate; and sugar bloom, due to crystals formed by the action of moisture on the sugar. Thanks Wiki

The white speckles are just fat coming from the chocolate, it’s totally safe. That’s how you know it’s real chocolate.

[@GavinGT]

The fat bloom is no problem. On the other hand, there's no way those almonds haven't gone rancid.

[@davidlewis1153]

I learned something new. Thank you!

[@oswaldoculo]

I thought so, I was kind of disappointed that the beast didn't eat it 😂

[@tylerclark3747]

@@davidlewis1153 Yup! just a bit of fat separation! On some rations back in the those days, if it included something chocolate, On the chocolate rapper itself it would even warn you that it might look a little funny but that's only bloom and it's still safe to eat! a couple of steve 1989's videos has what I just mentioned and that's where I learned it from haha! have a good day!

Do not convince him or anyone else to eat that shit.

This needs to be a series! Eat the other two separately for us please :) also the chocolate white specks are called bloom, it is just where the fat has separated and is totally safe to eat. Watch the nuts though as they can go rancid and make you quite ill! Thanks Beast!
