Howdy, folks! This time we got a Pork & Rice W/ BBQ Sauce MRE from 1993 that has been frozen for the last 15 years (Actually just talked to Jerry, the dude I got 'em from and he told me up to 20 years) and this experiment was a 100% success! This thing looks and tastes like it was made last year! Even the applesauce was in perfect shape! Absolutely amazing MRE review for that reason alone and totally worth watching, you won't be disappointed.
Hope you enjoy the review and stay tuned, I have 5 more just like this one where they were frozen for at least 15 years! Stay tuned! :-)

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
Guys, we need to start freezing our current MRE's so in 100 years when Steve's reincarnated form Steve2189 starts making MRE videos he'll have vintage ones from our time to enjoy
Little Snuggle LOL
I applaud you 😂
Yah you go do that I am going to go blow up some countries.
Best idea ever!
NEW EXPERIMENT:
Gamma (X-Ray or Cesium60 Radiation) AS Preservative (IN Place of Refrigeration/Freezing) NICE !!
"Alright, lets get this out on a tray....Looking good" WTF no no nooo
Looking nice
LMAO
Mandela Effect .... nice.
Jamie Grayson
Steve minus “Nice” = 😯😟
ECH I DUN LIKE ET
2:26
made me depressed he didnt say "nice"
yea
construction noise Same 😂😂
So sad...
Nice....
Same man
Luckly we ate this MRE when the volcano errupted in Philippines way back 1991. US military distributed it in evacuation centers.
I heard about mt helen, one of most disastrous volcano eruption in history. Stay safe bro. Canada have amazing people
I never really thought about what we gave out for disaster relief, but now that I think about it, MREs make a lot of sense. Glad you're alright.
@@nigeltheoutlaw yep, I lived on mre’s for a couple months after Hurricane Katrina. My familiarity with them is what made me so interested in this channel.
It looks like having a basement freezer full of MRE's is not such a stupid idea after all.
mrKozmoz ha yea really. Guess i owe my crazy uncle an apology
Your wife must have gotten on your ass about saving MRE’s and taking up freezer space lol
@@rayfrmklz Lmao
Unless the power goes out...
@@athenathegreatandpowerful6365 Thats' precisely when the power goes out that you need those MREs, so.....
MOST INTERESTING! The RAFCO rep had it right when he said " frozen, they'll last forever". I put those into a freezer in 1996 when I changed homes and they were 3 years old at room temperature at the time. COOL BEANS STEVE!!!
cool indeed man... and useful info for ultra-long term storage. I was wondering how your analysis would work out and am very pleased with the results! You da man dude!! i ate an old ham and cheese omelet last year from the same stock and I thought it was as good as ever... thanks for the confirmation bro...
+Jerry Sullivan thanks for hooking Steve up with those meals. loved watching the review
+Mechanist Happy to help out. I too find it all quite interesting.
+Jerry Sullivan Thanks again Jerry!
Hey Steve, how ya doing friend? It's Ben from TX 101st
It is just weird when you don't say "Nice" after placing it all on the tray the first time.
😂😂
Nice! M'kay.
It scared me
I wasn't the only one who noticed that lol.
I became disabled 7 years ago and am severely depressed. Your channel is a really good distraction. Thanks.
I care. Lots of others do as well. Ignore that asshat. Tons of people, myself included, watch these for their relaxing comfort value. Hope you're doing okay, CZcams buddy. Yeah. Cool. See ya.
Nice
Nice
Hoping your well :)! The world is a scary place, but always people in it who care. Even across the world.
@katness yep...im definitely going to hell for laughing at that
Not surprised at the instructions on the Wet Naps, people are morons. For example, Aldi recently had to recall some bag of nuts because it didn't have a specific warning on it that it contains nuts. Yet it was nuts, labeled as nuts, and had pictures of nuts on the bag.
True story.
Toolness1 I believe it, same as the lady that won a lawsuit against McDonald’s because their coffee cups did not have a warning saying the beverage may be hot.
Jason Truman The woman received third degree burns. Interesting case. www.caoc.org/?pg=facts
😑 Gah, people are freaking idiots.
That's nuts
Less because people are idiots, more because people will sue over ANYTHING. Gotta make sure they've covered their ass.
Kind of weird, but if you think about it that pig in the rice died 20 years ago lol
true lmao
Yup
even worse is that all the meat he's eating is older than half of his viewers
I was hungry...was...
Clovis senpai When you put it that way... ahhh gross!! 😖
Mom would bring home crates of these in the 90's at the marine base we lived. I probably ate a pallet of them and made hundreds of marine cookies with the creamer and match books and had a few cheese ball barrels full of hundreds of spoons and condiment packs. I'd just open the things for cocoa and coffee because they were my favorite. I probably had more MRE meals then regular home made meals that decade and I never gained weight. Ahhh good times good times.

In Australia this a would easily cost over $100. Our 2 serve freeze dried meals are $22 , 1 serve is $15
Thank you Steve for your sacrifice and service for a country thank you for your MRE reviews God bless you
"Smells like 2014 production."
Wonder what 2013 smells like. Was that a good year?
I believe thats a Bordeaux vintage
2013 smells like sandalwood with a hint of lingonberries.
I have a fart in a jar from that year I can send you.
@@vincedibona4687 if I did order one, would I have to decant it ?
Lmfao!
Did 21 years...retired 4 years ago. My all time favorite was the spaghetti from the early 90s. I think they had Combos (cheese filled pretzels) in them. Not sure. We used to call MREs "Mystery".
Nice
Mr.E. Nice.
Chris DIYer
Ha ha, you probably had a chuckle when I did a shout out for this channel last week.
Chris DIYer I'd specifically seek out those ones for camping trips.
Steve: Alright, let's get this out on a tray.... Looking good.
Everyone: wtf he just say?!?
Rotfl!
Yeah; whatever happened to ‘nice’?
@@chrismayer3919 I think the better question would be, when did "Nice!" start?
@@azzorath9091 oh, we all have our little phrases. You should be asking Steve that query…
@@chrismayer3919 what he meant is this video is almost 8 years old, maybe the "Nice" started later. Plus this video just feels different.
Top three phrases used by Steve
1 - " it smells metallic "
2 - " oh, oh ew"
3 - " oh that's definitely gone rancid"
Hah love your videos man!
"That feels like tootsie rolls"
Spookster ummmmmmm you forgot something... NICE
Spookster nice hiss
"Let's get it onto a tray"
"Nice!"
Hahaha it smells metallic. brilliant. Nice.
Steve is the anti-Gordon Ramsay
Clutchyfinger hmmm.... Gordon Ramsay as a guest star?
ITS FROOOZEN!!! .... nice!
Just imagine..G Ramsey next to Steve when doing an MRE..i would pay for that!
Why he would just say its RRRRRAAAWWWWW. YOU FUCKING DONKEY
Clutchyfinger where’s the lamb SAAAAUUUUUUCCCEEE
"Lets get this out on a tray."
"Looking good. "
My heart...
They had to make sure that the wet naps were Marine proof.
"Today, we'll be eating crayons from 1944!"
you didn't say "nice" after putting it on the tray, it wasn't the same...
Someone should make MREs that are still super healthy but wont clog you for a week. Then sell them cheap to college students.
As a college student, I'd buy those.
+RoadkillD418 mre's are slightly expensive
George Merkel I'm aware of that. That's why the original poster said to "sell them cheap" -- then again, I think Banquet has already taken up that market selling cheap frozen foods. Pretty much an MRE that needs to be microwaved.
But isn't the gum also a laxative
+Folse Prophet ?? Average mre is like 5 dollars if you been pay 20 you been getting robbed
My dad would bring these home from duty sometimes when I was younger. Usually only opened them for the gum, haha
Holy shit dude, I wasn't expecting this level of fresh. My jaw dropped when the jelly came out looking like he just got it from the store
"Grumble grumble aspartame's horrible" , then eats food from 1942,
You can tell how excited he is, he’s talking so fast and just dug right into it

I love these intro songs, reminds me old videogames
Reminds me of Air Wolf.
Ghost Recon comes to mind.
Why do you have such a soothing voice?
"Looking good"
What kind of sorcery is this!
This was my favorite MRE of all when I was in the military in the mid-90s. It was good hot and it was even good cold. The choices back then were pretty limited. Pork with rice in BBQ sauce was #1 on the list for me though; followed by Chicken Ala King and Tuna Noodle Casserole. The of them all was the Omelet with ham - although I suppose if it was heated, it could be edible - and the corned beef hash.
Steve is like a kid on Christmas, you can hear the speedy excitement in his voice. Haha
Dude... You make me feel less depressed. Your just so calming. Chill. And nice.
Steve can turn anybody into a mrephile with his personality lmao. Nice!
I dont like the term mrephile maybe ratioholic instead??
When I saw that this ration had applesauce in it, I knew that would be the most telling factor if the experiment worked. Everything looked as good as the day it was packaged. Great review as usual! Im really excited to see how the others held up being frozen for that long! Hopefully they'll be just as tasty!
that pig has been dead for over 20 years, weird when you think about it
Yeah it is kinda weird lmao
food is the same age as me....
Imagine the settlers. They left meat in barrels of salt for years
Happy Birthday to both you and the food!
yeah when you take it in like that, its morbid, LOL
Girl “so, how would you like to do it?”
Him “no off flavors, perfectly fresh”
A true privilege to enjoy MRE’s fresh from so long…
WOW!!!! That MRE was in great shape for it's age.
Hey, when i was stationed in ( West ) Germany I always combined my instant coffee, creamer, sugar and my Hot Coa Coa when i got it with our C-Rats ( MCI ) . I thought I invented " Coff-Coa ".
You had me a little scared there when you rolled that Tootsie Roll into a rectal suppository.
Thanks for the review.
awesome story ! Greetings from Quebec, Canada

"Sir how would you like your coffee?"

Hello fellow Canadian!
@@eatshbob6577 how's it go in!
6:56 Sarcastic Steve. A.K.A "best character break".
sounded like Jim halpert a biy
I joined the Army in 1993 and Pork with rice and BBQ sauce was my favorite MRE! Oh man this brought back some good memories. Nice
I think i was drooling the whole time. 23 year old food fresh as yesterday! Amazing! So worth a sub!
Wow you can really hear the true excitement in his voice. This was such a fun experience to share in his happiness with this mre 👌🏻❤️🥳
i love your videos :) have been binge watching. keep up the good work. much love from down under
Steve is the coolest, he has the time and resources to enjoy cool old rations. Thanks for the videos, i look forward to them everyday, your one unique dude!! 😎
In ROTC in 1994 I made the mistake of biting an MRE tootsie roll. Broke my permanent retainer.
That "lookin good" really caught me off guard 😂
I was disappointed 😂
Well done Steve, always clear concise and to the point. I always warning your MRE taste tasting videos. Your descriptions are perfect, continue the good work.
Love your videos! I had a 1 day marathon watching one day!😀
Me: freaking over eggs past the expiration date 20 mins.
Steve: biting into 20 year old food.
I don't know why I love watching these videos so much. really entertaining and great for killing time lol.
Dude you freaking ROCK😂👍🏻👍🏻 stumbled upon your videos!! Badass!!! Love them all-very entertaining-you da man-thanks and keep up the great work-had me literally in tears bro-definitely needed the laughs-thanks again bro😂😂 GOD BLESS for people like yourself that have such a great personality and great outlook on life
love his passion for these units. the only experience Ive had with any MREs were this type from the mid 90s in JROTC. it's fascinating they can preserve food and pack everything so nicely into a bag like this.
the power of froze this is why Eskimos are still digging up juicy fresh looking mammoths
What 😂
Hello Sun Wukong how do you feel about Akira Toriyama ripping you off with a alien
@@QuigleTheGnome ?
Great video, I am glad to finally see a vintage MRE that was well preserved. I am glad that you like the Ranger Mocha drink. Maybe make some Ranger pudding in the next video.
Love your videos, man.... You are awesome. It is so cool how you actually sample the items.
Hey Steve, I am hooked on watching your vids and have now subscribed to RC Gusto, Kiwi Dude, Gchultz9 and a few others you've mentioned. Thank you for the vids they bring back so many memories of trying C-Rations and MRE's that family would bring home to me. Another thing your videos have done is inspired me to find a Fred p38 someplace other than Ebay "been burned on ebay" I saw the Fred in your CR1M review, never knew they existed until then lol. Anyway thank you and keep on doing what you love dude!
took forever, but now I finally know what year the MRE's were that me and my dad used to eat!
"I was 8 years old when I had my first MRE." 3:43
I was 18...
now that I started watching his videos I don't think I'll be able to stop. STEVE . You da man! 🤙🏻
I've finally scrolled back far enough in the Steve1989 timeline to have reached the pre-"Nice!" era.
The tootsie roll turned into a suppository , amazing !
Hey steve, have you or a member of your family ever served in the military.And,how did you start reviewing mre's?
I love your videos man! They're super interesting to watch.
Love your videos watched them all please keep making them
Had to put this one at .75 speed. He was freaking me out with his faster pace...
Probably tried on of those dexamphetamines in the RAF rations lol
I love watching ur videos, they are exiting and cool, u have no fear of what will happen with the bad stuff lol
+Steve1989 MREinfo this might be a dumb question but were you in the military?
+Jeremy Shutrump yeah I would like to know too👍
wetnap.com/products/ There is your wetnaps.
Very exiting, quite entering too.
+Jessie Nicholas I want to know what was the train of thought you were on at the time of writing this.
I'm pretty sure I had the same menu when I was a kid, cool to see it again, Thanks for showing us Steve.
Hey Steve, I have been eating MRE's literally forever. my dad was a very bad cook when I was little so I had MRE's and it was the best thing that had entered my life. I have no explanation for why I love eating them so much but I choose them over actual cooked food. Also I just subscribed after about a month of watching your amazing channel and say frosty.
How preserved that MRE is is amazing! The applesauce looks just like the Motts applesauce I bought last week that I have in the fridge right now!
I feel ripped off not getting my "nice!"
He said nice just after opening the entre
des any one else sit here and eat an mre with steve every time you watch a new review?
Steve your screwing up my diet!
I can't stop watching this guy lol. I've been binge watching this guy's videos like an anime series.
I feel a little trolled at 2:26
"Lets get it on a tray"

"nice"
I remember having this exact menu of MRE back when my dad and I used to hunt. Thanks for the memories.
i can't stop watching these videos. They are awesome, and they make me hungry... lmao
Pork and Rice in BBQ sauce! Best damn MRE they ever made!
Why is his videos so satisfying
Jesse Pinkman Informative they are and I have to say it's pretty cool seeing him discover and talk about this stuff.
And this is just food not too different from regular food with two differences.
1. They are old really
2. Made for the military
this was my MRE back in 1994 giving to me as a gift , still thought out of all the menu types, this Pork and rice was the best.
my favorite one so far, also NEVER stop saying nice or looking good or anything else when switching to the tray. it makes the video perfect. :) Liked and subbed
As Peter Brady would say: "Pork chops...and applesauce"! Seriously though, this is absolutely amazing! As fun/interesting/repulsive as it is to open an old MRE or other ration to see what kind of condition it's in (and to revel in how bad some of them end up being), it's really incredible that you've gotten a chance to try out some MREs that are well over 20 years old! I didn't think any such thing even existed. It's too bad there isn't a giant warehouse somewhere filled with vintage frozen MREs. I've always felt a little bad for the old brown baggers (and early tan ones as well) because they already have such a bad reputation. When you see one opened now it just goes to reinforce how "bad" people think they really were. While 80s-early 90s MREs were definitely less appetizing than a lot of the stuff they put out these days (after decades of constant improvements and tinkering with the menus and the improvements in the science behind the food preparation) it still seems unfair to do a straight up comparison between an old one and a modern one, since the old one has the obvious disadvantage of, well, being OLD. When I did my reviews of a couple 10 year old Cheese and Veggie Omelet meals a while back I felt bad because they were even worse than they should have been because of the age factor. There seemed to be no way to do a fair review of them because there was no way to experience a "fresh one". But now you've managed to basically go into a time machine and review a FRESH (ish) MRE that's been extinct for years! I mean, how freaking cool is that?!? Can't wait to see the rest! Sorry for the long rambling comment, but I feel like I've just witnessed an important moment in ration history!
(cue Elvis singing "Sweet Memories").....
+gschultz9
This review actually made me remembered your frozen and rough handled MRE experiment a while ago and I was wondering what will happen to that MRE if you left it in a fridge and let it sit for fifteen years. lol
+佐井トラね子 I was thinking about that too. This really demonstrates what's good and bad about freezing MREs. While you're not supposed to "rough handle" them while frozen, and while I believe it is a bad thing to put them through multiple freezing and thawing cycles, if they're simply frozen and left in that state it's obviously the perfect way to preserve them indefinitely!
+Steve1989 MREinfo Have replied to your PMs here and at MREInfo.com, but I think you can probably guess my answer!
another catch up binge begin's...
I had a lot of mre in my childhood. Watching these videos are awesome.
Got some I bought almost 20 years ago, pretty much same as these. Been sitting in 4 different garages since. I don’t have near the confidence in opening them now. But storing new ones in a freezer, great idea.
This made me wonder if there were any cases of rations from the cold war period waiting in the Arctic and Antarctic regions. Sitting patiently, in perfect order, to be discovered by MRE hunters?
im so interested in MRE's, guns, survival kit's... And i have no explanation why. It's so strange xD
+Steve1989 MREinfo naw thanks. And i really want you to know. That you are my favorite MRE Reviewer. But enough of that. Have a nice day and greetings from germany ;)
+IronFist Games like Spider-Man's jizz

Chantal Walther Good girl, keep that Aryan pride
+IronFist Games dude don't be ridiculous okay ;)
Your reviews have come A LONG WAY! lol
Wow, I had that one in... 1996! Pork with rice & BBQ sauce is the best MRE menu ever! If somebody would can that stuff and sell it at the grocery store I'd buy it by the case! They never should have discontinued it. Thanks for the video - I could almost taste it again lol
I would totally bet money you were a soldier in a past life.....
Love your videos 😍
Buy a ton of MREs, send to south pole. Never need power..
@CIA BETA Wing what do you think is in the MRE?
How do you not have more subs you have got to be the only youtuber i dont skip bit in the the videos thank you for making them
Another damn great video love this guy keep up the good work!
Who would have thought Chad Kroeger was into MRE's? :P
I've almost got a museum of KFC wet wipes dating back 40 years, the ones of the last 10 years smell like shit, they smell of pure chemicals, the ones of even 20 years ago small so damn good, and 30 years, wow pure heaven.
It's a shame how the quality of everything over the past 20 years has turned to shit.
The cheaper the ingredients, the worse the product, generally speaking.
Blame people like Obama
Congrats on the million viewers!!!!
Hey Steve. Really cool vid. I also noticed you write the songs/music. You are a talented man! Thanks for sharing. J
You should review a North Korean ration... Oh.
Simon Richard the North Koreans don't get rations lol. Their not allowed to eat !
the presence of the glorious leader should be enough for them to survive, there ain't no food dawg :D
They're expected to win before dinner or die on the way
entree is tree bark, main course is rat stew with vegetables fertilised with human feces

Lol loved Steve reading those complicated wet nap directions haha too funny
I'm so glad they made directions on wet naps. Last time I used one I didn't read them and ended up starting a fire and my head got stuck between a fence.
