Vložit
- čas přidán 27. 02. 2019
- This specific WW2 C Ration Dinner B unit was produced for the month of March 1943. It's not just your average well-stored Dinner unit with biscuits, candy, lemonade, and sugar. It has one extra morale-boosting component that makes it the first generation of it's kind. The first C Ration cigarette.

LET'S GET THIS OUT ONTO A TRAY, NICE™
NICE HISS™
I'LL BE COMING BACK AT YOU WITH SOMETHING NEW OR OLD, ALRIGHT COOL SEE YA™ - Zábava
STEVE IS ALIVE EVERYBODY!
We can rest easy now.
Coup de Grâce of course, with all these MREs
It was a dark time for all of us.
You don't realize what you got till it's gone
Nice
Honestly thought he succumbed to the 90yr + MREs.
Hey everybody, it's great to finally be back with a couple new videos. Had a little injury back in January that cost about a month's work. But all is good like new & I've been back to filming/editing and catching up with messages these last few weeks.
Right now I'm in the middle of filming an incredibly well stored and fascinating ration from 1906. Condition-wise, it is astoundingly preserved. That is enough of a spoiler there. But stay tuned, I finish up filming it later tonight and then to editing.
In the meantime I hope you all enjoy tonight's 2 new videos and in a day or two I have one more video coming out that is already edited. A Canadian Army WW2 Ration.
Steve1989MREInfo WOO WOO
Glad your back and fine
*1906*
THE MADMAN
What happend Steve,is everything ok now man,and congrats for one mil subs dude...
back with a vengeance, Steve. i like it. glad you’re no longer injured. 🙂
I pet my cat:
No hiss. Nice.
Lol
😂😂😂
Hahaha thats brilliant :D ... I even read it in Steves voice :D
LoL
LOL
smells ciggarette: Smells like.. Vanilla.
smells biscuits: Smells like tobacco.
Invasion of the flavor switchers.
Let's get this out onto the Diego - Nice!
Maybe you're supposed to crush and smoke biscuits while using cigarettes for water flavoring
Switch flavor
@@NadyaBali Let's get this out onto the Diego, nice!!!
Hundreds of years into the future, Steve’s great great grandson will be opening a bag of Doritos from 2019 and describe the strange taste to people on Mars.
Lol true
Unfortunately humanity won't live long enough for that to happen....
Doritos..... rancid..... and metallic. The included Frito-Lay bean dip: "DECADENT!"
😂😂😂
And mountain dew?
*sees one single item in the can*
*knows EXACTLY when the MRE was made because of it*
you're one of a kind Steve. Never change
Damn straight
The things he eats cost more than the most expensive dinner in a luxury restaurant. Literally.
But that is missing the point tho
Paid by US tax payers and by Pentagon.
🤣.. true, I watched one, where Steve
CASUALLY says, got 12 for alil over 600$ I think I Lost Time (about 2hrs)
Before Snapping out of it . 🤠🖖
@@cowboykelly6590 lmao. I just saw that video before this one. He said 650 and im thinking $6.50 but he says $650 right away.
*Casually lights up a 1943 cigarette indoors, then moves on to describe the experience of smoking it. There is something hypnotic about all this and I don't even smoke.
I can’t pinpoint what it is but I’m so hooked.
@@googalooga there's a ASMR element to his videos. He's tapping into our brains!
googalooga same here! I tune in to relax an$ even fall asleep! Thanks Steve!
Same here. I feel like I’m getting an extra special treat when we get to view him smoking one of the ancient cigarettes.
@@Mattm182 yes!
I was having lunch last week at work with some colleagues... sitting around the table conversing about everything and nothing. I got my lunch out and said aloud, "Let's get this out onto the tray... Nice". Silence. Then one of the guys points at me and says, "SteveMRE, right?" A golden moment. Anyway... that phrase needs to go on a t shirt. I'd buy it.
Me too
Wangavision then everybody clapped right?
@@obi-wankenobi1514 They were too in awe of the supreme synchronicity they had just witnessed.
LOLOL That sounds amazing 😂 Im gonna desing a tshirt with that phrase 💗
Me too. Id love that
The man smokes a cigarette like a person of high class tastes wine
@Corey Cieliela
It's relaxing just watching him smoke on the video.
Thank God that YT doesn't demonitize the vid because it has
evil cancer sticks in it. PC bull shite.
It's a history piece, so shouldn't have censorship, just like nude art is acceptable
He's in flavor country now.
@@watershed44 I believe cigarettes are cancerous though
Eastwood Unforgiven so are overused dead memes.
When Steve finds cigarettes his voices raises a few octaves.
Excited for that nicotine.
Pack of cigarettes
instructions:
- to smoke after leaving a french brothel or blowing up a german mission objective.
I want to buy one of these rations just to smoke the cigarettes
There is something very satisfying seeing his videos at 3 in the morning.
Can relate :P
@@TheStepmonkey no debate
I’m watching it @4 am
Indeed lol
3:32. Exactly what I'm doing
I just worked a 14.5 hour day, and was stuck in rush hour because of 3 accidents. It's 8:50PM right now and I'm about to fall into bed. While in bed, I get to watch a long awaited Steve video. The timing of this video is truly..... *_NICE_*
Hope your day ends well!
That's rough man. Rest up.
Nicotine is a poison. It's used to kill bees.
I'm so impressed with how well preserved it all is. 76 year old food and cigs, and if you'd told me it came off the assembly line this year I'd probably believe you
I found myself walking around and just blurting out “Nice Hiss”😂😂😂😂
Nice.
mmkay
Nice
Ah thats nice
Me: Mom I'm hungry
Mom: We have food at home
Me: But I want a March 1943 US Army Field Ration C Dinner B Unit MRE
Lol wtf
Will Meiners in perfect condition!
Me af
with cigarette.
Hahah
Now I'm craving biscuits and cigarettes from 1943
I feel this so hard
They had real things back then.
😂😂😂
That's the good shit!
I’m craving biscuits and mustard mmmhhmm
"IT HAS CIGARETTES IN THERE!!!" lol 😆 he got so excited
One of the most awesome commentators I have ever listened to. He could commentate on paint drying for 30 minutes and I would still probably sit and listen.
smokes an ancient cigarette. "a bit dry"
lmao gordon would be proud
wascally wabbit I ran 3 miles for fun
@@cerberushunter1448 what where you thinking
BLAND.
I love how excited he gets for the cigarettes... Its like a kid on X-mas morning.
It's bland ..
I enjoy how Steve seemingly got embarrassed by the volume of his freakout and balanced the audio accordingly.
I enjoy how you notice this. i just didn't want to bother folks by being too loud. But cutting the excitement would have cut the heart right out of the discovery. So I kept it - but lowered the volume of that clip by about 50-60%.
@@Steve1989MRE We all love you and admire you Steve 💗
This is a dramatic re-enactment of trying to find salvageable food when mom hasn’t gone shopping in a couple days
This all takes place in an alternative timeline after Steve had collected thousands of MRE in a post apocalyptic future. He records himself in his bunker after the nuclear war. We have these videos after someone traveled to his universe to collect the footage and bring it back.
Nice
That's cannon now
Reminds me of Drue Langlois' "Staying positive in the Apocalypse".
It's crazy to think that this ration has survived longer than some WW2 veterans, and it ends its journey catalogued on something that would boggle the mind of someone from 1942.
Hii
Wow there should be more likes in this comment
Hi justin
It's crazy seeing you on all sorts of weird places. Anything you're not on?
This man is everywhere
Thank god a poison meatball from 1995 wasn’t the end for Steve
Gaaaar, Joes be the only place for Steve
Can i get some context for this comment?
Slainhydra77 Steve eats a lot of questionable food sometimes even if there’s some mold on it, this activity is very dangerous and since botulism is pretty common in old stuff like this it’s a pretty risky thing to eat the stuff he does
I love how excited he was for 5 biscuits, 3 smokes, some lemon juice, and a few hard candies. 😂 Love it!
I dont smoke cigarettes, nor have I wanted to. But i am tempted to buy one of these old packs to try.
Steve isn't the hero we asked for, but the hero we deserve. Glad you're back Steve.
He's the hero we need, but not the one we deserve. He's the best.
I never got this comment, so sorry to be a drag. Who did we ask for initially and why do we clearly deserve this dude, that we don't even pay? I think we all feel Steve is amazing... so why would we feel that we aimed higher but then settled like "oh well guess we deserve him..."
@@Hedvigu just a meme really lol
@@JadeWisdom Oof, I'm so not with it anymore...
That muffled "Wow ! What ?! No way !" is legendary.

It is truly amazing how well some of these things held up.
Anyone else find it adorable when Steve freaked out when he saw the cigarettes?
He gets overly excited about a lot of stuff in rations and it's pretty amusing.
yes, so cute
No homo tho
No
He’s such a cute, literally adore this dude, cute, intelligent, awesome sense of humour, creative and just out right talented.
To whomever gives these videos a thumbs down. What's your problem??? Historical, informative, and he increases his chances of getting cancer everytime he samples these vintage cigarettes!?!? Let alone the potential for food poisoning??? Y'all need to go somewhere else if you can't appreciate Steve's dedication!
HEAR! HEAR! (but I think the CZcams algorithm puts them there.)
By accident?
The algorithm just randomly dislikes videos? I swear Anytime I hear something about their algorithm it's always just hearsay or just plain rumors. It's probably more simplistic than most think
Protest of sort ?
@@harrisp584 shopped
Thank You my dad was a paratrooper in ww2. Now I have idea what he ate.
Do you have any stories from him?
@@flash-thunder My dad never would talk about ww2 . My dad was in the 82nd Airborne . I only know what the history channel says about the 82nd Airborne
My grandfather’s were both in the Marines in the Pacific. My grandpa was left for dead on Guadacanal & they ran outta food before the Army came ashore & they “borrowed” some from them.
I like to think of my grandpa’s eating these. At least until they ran out.
The genuine excitement when discovering the cigarette 😂
A tray
Steve at Mcdonalds.
Steve: Hey, what sort of coffee do recommend ?
Employee: We got Coffee Instant Type 1&2.
Steve: You got Trays too ?
Employee: Yes
Steve: *Nice*
M'kay!
nice
I love when you're so excited about cigarettes. Your passion is wonderful.
I'd really love some Merch. A simple baseball t with let's get that on a tray, nice! In 50s baseball slogan text. Or army font would be really awesome.
Imagine living on a farm in the middle of nowhere and enlisting in the army, and that being the first time you see plastic
This is existential crisis material right here
Imagine enlisting in the Army, and that being the first time you used indoor plumbing or toilet paper. America was crazy rual back then.
0:14 The sudden zoom in on the guys face cracks me up.
I didn't even notice 😂 now I can't get over it
When I heard the music distort and zoom in on the guys face, it made me think he just smelled the worse fart in the world.
cuz its johnny sins
He looks buggered
That is one of the iconic pictures of a "grizzled GI Infantryman" . Food is probably crappy but he doesn't care.
"I'm just gonna stand here and enjoy this" Man, I wish I could be that positive about life.
12:53 - “Actually I couldn’t get to sleep, and this is what happened.”
Thanks Steve. Sometimes when I can’t sleep or need to be put to sleep I put your videos on :)
Anyone else?!! Lol
He helps with my anxiety at night, definitely helps me fall asleep
What I find most interesting about these videos is discovering just how long some companies have existed. Domino Sugar, for example. I buy Domino Sugar every month at the grocery store.
You are like the Bob Ross of rations. I love these videos
Every MRE is a happy little MRE
Lol
@@mathewlau1733 oh hoho except for the VEGGIE OMLETE
More like the Nick Shabazz of MREs .
Next morning, poops out HISTORY. 👍
Im curious (because I heard you say something about preserving that candy) do You have a video on things you do to preserve things for display if any? That’d be a good video.
BRING OUT THE TRAY
Well done, your 1st !!
NICE
Okay
NOICE
"Nice"
The 1942 Chelsea packs were still in the white cardboard with metallic gold for the striping and the word "Cigarettes". That's because it was the same packages used for two and three smoke free promo packs handed out prewar. From early 1943 they used brown paper and red ink in place of the gold. That was supposedly to conserve the metals in the ink. I think it's more likely it decreased reflectivity when a soldier pulled it out of his pocket for a smoke. Cigarette companies did all kinds of stunts to supposedly help the war effort. Lucky Strike is probably the most famous in this regard when they started printing their packs in the familiar red and white compared to the green and white prewar pack. They touted the change with the slogan "Lucky Strike Green Has Gone to War!". We now know that the switch was because red ink was cheaper than green, and American Tobacco knew they could sell as many as they could make regardless of color.
The Chelsea smells and taste different because it's basically pipe tobacco. Reed & Co., makers of Edgeworth, was the largest maker of pipe tobacco in the country, and I believe it still is. They used up their supply of pipe tobacco seconds to make the the early three packs for C rats. Guys complained they tasted "weird" and weren't' strong enough so Edgeworth started blending the pipe tobacco with about 20% Virginia varieties. That increased as the war went along because cigarette tobacco needed less aging and care than pipe tobacco. By the end of the war, soldiers were complaining Chelsea were too strong. With that kind of brand recognition, Chelsea didn't last long after the war. As far as I can tell, the blend was still used for private label cigarettes for tobacco store chains up to about 1950 but the Chelsea brand name was gone by 1947. Interestingly, RJ Reynolds, the company that eventually bought out Reed, briefly tried reviving the Chelsea brand name in 1989 as the "Cigarette that smell good". They used a pipe tobacco blend along with a paper that smelled like vanilla as it burned. It did well in trials for taste and a less unpleasant smell while burning but public health officials didn't like the idea of anything that made cigarettes less unpleasant, so the idea was quickly shelved.
Sar Jim thanks for sharing
Sees steve's video get recommended that you never saw before soft nice
Hey no fun here Dita get back to work
The way to defeat Steve is by giving him a meal already on a tray. That’s the end game. He will then short circuit and explode.
What are you doing here? I thought you were heading to Atlantic City?
@@toffeelatte6042 *NICE*
Dropped everything when I saw the notification
What were they you dropped ?
Well I hope you weren't holding anything fragile or valuable at that moment Sergeant!
Me too! Almost forgot i was driving!
ME TOO!!
@OwO what's this? ME TOO!
Am I dreaming? Steve is back!?
Nice.
Mkay.
You're not dreaming, son. This is real. You have arrived in 1943..... have a cigarette, a biscuit. Sit back.
I love that he sparked the cig LMAO
yes, surprised YT/GOOG hasn't 'acted' to 'protect the community'
he almost always does, it’s part of the experience. i’ve smoked some ration cigarettes myself, salem’s, pall malls, and lucky strikes specifically and they are actually very nice
Is he still alive ? ))
He’s a big ciggy guy.
He always does lol
Interesting video, my Uncles Tom and Vic were vets of WWII, both fought in the European theater of operations, both survived the war (Tom left the Army, Vic served over 30 years also Army). It's cool learning what kept them fed and nourished.
Bro! I was worried about you! Thought you'd finally been taken down by an expired ration! You need to get back on your twitter....
Lmao😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣💀☠
What is his Twitter? I wanna follow
Was wondering the same thing.
Whats his twitter?

Holy shit it is
These were devised for the sole purpose of extra protein to keep fighting men fighting. Your lunch able isn't a fighting machine.
76 year old biscuit asmr.
🤣
Been off work for 5 months due to covid. Started back on nights and these videos make every moment worth it. Keep it up Steve. You are part of history. Best thing to watch on CZcams. Fascinating history!
Steve, congratulations on 1 million subscribers you earned it. Looking forward to new videos
Hey Bobsters thanks so much man. It's seriously not 100% sunk in still that the channel hit the 1 million mark. I'm always going to be working on new videos too as this whole ration review thing could easily be a lifetime's work with all the material out there.
I still wonder why I am compelled to watch your videos, but I think it is your friendly demeanour and the way it allows us to maybe understand what "it" was like, even just a little. Thank you for this unknowingly wanted/needed catalogue of history.
As soon as you lit that cigarette I subscribed. Love the commitment!
@Staying Out The Way i mean, look at his pfp.
I always find the compact rations the most interesting
Steve is a national treasure, he really is...….."I'll be coming back at you with something new---or Old. Alright, cool!"
See ya
Need that one on a shirt too with see ya on the back
1 mil subs.. YOU DESERVE IT!!!
yep, I tell all my mates! freaking good vids
Correct.
Also, love that number of likes!
He’s definitely on his way to 10 million. He has a huge cult following
Cathy Jones excuse me Cathy?
You seem like the most humble person to hang out with. Whoever’s your closet of friends are blessed.
Your videos are so relaxing
Always fun to listen to your reviews of WWII cigarettes. Really entertaining, Steve.
I don't always smoke cigarettes. But when I do, I only smoke vintage WWII era.
I literally subscribed because you tried the cigarettes too. True professional
Surprisingly, that's the one thing in that MRE least likely to kill him.
@@ThejollyFrenchman lolol, tru
Damn right
he always tries the cigarettes
@@epic8923well I know that now that I've been watching for years haha
I’m a very new subscriber but I really love your presentation and knowledge about all these MRE’s. I’m binge watching from newest to oldest. Just a great job Steve👍
I'm a vet, and I appreciate your appreciation for the old style military rations. My generation ate MREs, but the older ones that were just bags of constipation. No smokes, but matches and about 1 square of TP. Question for you: Have you ever gotten sick eating 75 year old rations? This video was great, had a very calming ASMR quality about it.
Finally. I wanted to hear that NICE! again. Love your Vids.
And "no hiss". I can't open a can of soup, spam, clams, beer, anything, without saying "hiss" or "no hiss" to myself!!! Not sure if I love Steve (icky) or hate Steve. Still can't turn off the videos, tho.
So glad I could get two new ones out before the end of the month here. Got some catching up to do on videos! Thanks so much, I love making them.

Someone stole his hair!
this
I had 2 uncles in WW2 and neither smoked (A huge sin in my family) and they used to trade their cigarettes for other GIs chocolate. One of them amassed a huge supply of chocolate and cigarettes from his rations and one day they walked into a German town that was an open city with no battle damage and he found a camera store. He traded his stash for a used German 6x6 twin lens reflex which when I was growing up he always had with him.
Men I love going into the past with you plus you just put me at ease. Keep being you brother.
I'm freaking out waiting for that 1906 US emergency ration with how excited Steve is about it's condition
Same here...
Steve you are the coolest feckin dude on the interwebs!
Steve you have got me interested in these essential field ration kits,after all a army marches on its stomach,such clever ingrediants and excellent well thought out packaging following your fascinating series,thank you for searching these out and above all boldly trying them first hand !
Steve: “No hiss”
My brain: “Nice hiss”
Steve: "no hiss"
Me: :(
Made me turn green just a little
Does anyone else think Steve should add one or two more ads, this man deserves more money
What a treat to preserve and share this history. Thanks man
Idk why but whenever he says "let's get this on a tray, nice." It sounds so satisfying and smooth ^-^
The videos with cigarette reviews are 10x more satisfying than the others, and that’s saying a lot. Thanks, Steve!
"Not that bad:::" he says about something he is going to eat, that is 76 years old. I love this guy.
Man I love the old canned MRE stuff, it always seemed to hold up incredibly well. Super cool review!

It's really amazing to me how much effort and thought is put into the manufacture of these. It's so well designed.
its crazy in ww2 they had a kit for just about everything. theres old US training films, and they put a lot of thought into making a lot of them. theres even a few on just being in Briton.
You at the gas station, Got some smokes
Gas station attendant, Yea I Got A Rare 1943 Chelsea 3 pack from a USM ration
Steve: Nice
I like how he says “this is one of the coolest rations I’ve ever opened” to every ration he opens
Now remember, kids: Just because you see old, expired food and tobacco products being consumed in this video doesn't mean it's safe or healthy for you to do the same! Why, were it not for the Super Soldier Serum coursing through his veins, Steve would surely have long since died of food-borne illness or lung disease sometime during his nearly 80 years as Our Rational Hero. But, with the help of Science and his own unbeatable moxie, he's still fighting the good fight and eating the bad food for all of us. So from the bottom of our hearts and stomachs we say: Thank you, Cap! Keep givin' 'em what for!
Yo wtf
Hey Steve, I have salad dressings in my fridge from 2015 if you want me to send them to you're P.O box...
