Old MRE Chicken VS New MRE Chicken
Vložit
- čas přidán 8. 03. 2024
- Join me in comparing the menus of an 18 year old Chicken MRE with a brand new Chicken MRE. We try all the sides and even find a new side I have not seen before.
Have they improved the new menu or should they have stayed with the old one?
Find out with me and Ace Videos. - Zábava
I love seeing these mre videos
I am happy to put them out there for y'all! TFW
Yeah once every month.
Yeah I love the videos to
Chris, I have an idea. You should publish videos and have another business on the side. I am looking forward to your content! TFW!@@chrisshepherd6878
@@chrisshepherd6878if you have a problem with that than stop watching and commenting on his videos being a jerk
I always love watching these videos and you always remind me of my grandfather a very positive and fun person
As an Opa 10 times now, I am happy to bring back good memories of your grandfather. TFW!
I am really enjoying your videos. Love how you go into detail with everything.
I think, of all the MRE's I've consumed, the older chicken one was the most underwhelming of them all. not much for flavor unless you mixed the chicken in the soup. Thank you for another great video brother!
"Underwhelming." That's a good word for it, even when it was new. TFW!
One of my favorite channels ever!Thanks for the entertainment!
I always drop what I’m doing to watch you, ace and Micah’s videos.
You are very kind to watch all of us. TFW, as always!
Good comparison video. I've had the newer "Chicken Chunks" MRE entree. Reminded me of cheap canned chicken.
I thought the chicken was well seasoned. TFW, Lance.
Love these videos by you guys its like Christmas 😂😂 watching you open everything definitely cool to see some new stuff
It feels like Christmas to me every time I open one, for sure.
Always great videos on this channel. Keep them coming.
Thanks, will do! TFW
Another Awesome video with the both of you entertaining all of us with your comparison of the MREs...
Glad you enjoyed it, Kenneth. We enjoy making them, for sure. TFW
I believe (but I could be wrong) that the gum has Xylitol as a sweetener in it. Any sweetener ending in -ol is going to be a sugar alcohol. Sorbitol, Erythritol, Glycerol, etc. The reason they use Xylitol instead of sugar is that it does not promote tooth decay and can actually prevent tooth decay a little. So for field soldiers that might not be able to take care of their teeth regularly or properly, it helps their dental health. Any sugar alcohol will have a very small effect on your digestion (helping to move things along) but not a huge effect.
I get excited everytime I see you upload, I really enjoy story time aswell keep up the awesome content. big fan of your channel 👍🏼
Glad you like them! I enjoy putting them out when I can get the time, for sure. TFW
Awesome video love seeing these mare's 👋👍😍🤗
Glad you enjoyed, Joan. TFW!
Oooo!!! Thanks for sharing, sir!
It is my pleasure, Kristen. TFW, as always.
Again. Theese videos. Both yours, Aces, and Mikas. Are all incredible. Really talented and good people. Much love from Norway. Keep the videos coming. ( Also you ACE :( ).
I'll pass that on to Ace and TFW all of our channels.
Eric from Alaska is a legend! Great video as always!
Couldn't agree more! TFW, Kris!
AWW SHUCKS! You’re making me blush! LOL
I’m honored to be able to contribute. As soon as I watched the first video, I was hooked. Thank you
Great comparison. Sitting here in Virginia wishing it was at least in the sixties. Beautiful backdrop. Have fun, stay safe!
Mike, it is a cool view, for sure. Warm weather is just around the corner......TFW!
Awsome videos as always, enjoy your time there!
Tks to you and we are, for sure. TFW, Perry Family!
Love your videos there soooooo interesting keep up the great work ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Glad you like them! I enjoy putting them out, Mikey!
TFW
As soon as you opened this, I got nervous. My only hope and prayer is one of these meals doesn’t make you sick. Thanks again for sharing. God Bless.
Eric, no sickness yet........
I really do appreciate that you sent all those boxes. That was a lot of expense and time to go thru. I trust you received your AceVideos BackPack.......
@@MeAncient yes sir and I use it everyday. I’m happy to hear that you haven’t experienced any issues with the MRES and I hope that continues to be the case. My wife and I are planning to be on Maui in late October of this year and I am really hoping that Ace and yourself will be in the area. It would be an honor to meet you both. As always, God Bless and thank you again for all the “shout-outs” in your videos!
If we head that way, I'll let you know, Eric. That would be good to meet up.@@ericlucksted6616
Excellent review and view!!!!!
Thank you kindly, Eltenda! TFW
I love it when you post videos! Love you Me Ancient! Love you Ace!
Glad you like them! We enjoy providing fun content, for sure. TFW
Thank you for sharing this with me and I hope that you will have a great day ❤️
Felisa, you are quite welcome and TFW! I hope that you have a great day as well!
that view is amazing
It is something to take in, for sure. TFW!
I love these comparison videos awesome review how are you and the family doing Sir
We are doing well, thank you for asking. I trust you and yours are doing well. TFW, as always!
Another cool mre comparison and a nice story, thanks Me Ancient 🙂
Glad you enjoyed it! I'll try and keep 'em coming! TFW, Srijan!
The matches are for improvised espionage on the enemy 💥
Or for the enemy to locate us? TFW!
Thanks for the video again chief hello to the family and hope the side business goes well 👍 TFMTV lol😊
Ryan.
Side business is going great. Thanks for asking. You are welcome for making the video! TFW!
I was wondering when another video would post, and here it is! Always enjoy watching and listening to your comments, Me Ancient. I agree with you, jalapeño ketchup, (which I've never heard of either), and chicken, don't sound very appealing to me. I was impressed with how good the marbled cake looked, with the ample amount of chocolate visibly inside of it. Great to see Mr. M&M, a.k.a. Asa, with you again. God bless you both, and keep more of 'em heading our way!
More to come! If the soup had been edible, I planned on adding some chicken to the soup. However........ TFW!
Its awesome you can work with your dad. I work with my dad as well, its a special treat we dont recognize, im thankful.
Yes indeed! We are truly blessed. TFW
great video by the way.
Thank you!
What a Gorgeous view! Man y’all sure do know how to love life! Enjoy!
Marcel, It is quite a place! TFW and we will enjoy! Asa just caught a barracuda tonight! He'll have a video on that when he has time for the editing.
@@MeAncient did y’all eat it? I hear good and bad things about eatin cuda. Either way awesome!!
I had always assumed they kept the matches in in case the heater failed there would be a potential back up way of cooking or just because having access to fire is never really a bad thing. No military experience though so I have no clue what I’m talking about
That's as good an idea as I've heard, actually. TFW
I'm hungry and excited when I eat too! Brothers from different mothers 😂🎉. Great vid!
Thank you 😋. Are we sad, or is it normal for others? TFW
@MeAncient Not sure what "normal" is. I've always prided myself on being unique. Or, as my Dad says of me, having the tendency of "Defying Gravity". 😅
That new chicken mre is really good.
I just put everything except the m&ms and the pound cake into the tortillas.
Great crunch and flavour. :)
Im really enjoying binge watching all the videos Ive missed.
Great review again. :)
Hope you enjoy. Looks like you are. TFW, as always.
This new use to come with a big package of frank red hot buffalo sauce and it was so good love it in the field
Great video again. Love the view. I like yall have never heard of jalapeño ketchup, you are brave man.
You are very kind to call that 'brave.' Others might have a different name for someone who tries 18 year old ketchup......just saying. TFW
Good review there Shipmate! I gotta stop watching you late at night, you are making me hungry! lol. Thanks Again!, vr, S
Shannon, kind of like watching the Food Network at night. It'll keep a guy on the heavy side, me thinks. TFW, as always!
Minestrone can be the beat soup if made with fresh vegetables. Tomatoe base with beans and Zucchini. Yum yum.
Zaczynam oglądać 👍🏼
Dzięki za kolejny odcinek! Pozdrawiam 🤙🤙🤙
I hope you enjoyed the video. TFW!
@@MeAncientSuper odcinek. Jak każdy. Pozdrawiam 🤙🤙🤙
Howdy Me Ancient Great comparison video 18 year old Chicken still Ok. Thanks for the video !
Steve, my pleasure. A little dry, but that's to be expected. TFW, as always, my friend. Semper Fi!
We knew him. Haha kidding. Love these videos
I'm still alive and kicking. TFW!
the chicken chunks that comes with the buffalo sauce is one of My favorite MRE's, along side the beef patty and tacos
I've heard that. TFW!
I had a similar one recently but it surprisingly just had regular starkist brand chunked chicken in a pouch you would buy from the store. I believe it had BBQ sauce instead of the fat free mayo which I was happy about.
I did a review on an MRE w/Starkist brand Tuna in a pouch. It was a vegetarian MRE. TFW!
Hearing about the medical stuff you said it recalled me a doubt i had the other day, on the military, how they dealt with minor sicknesses like a cold or flu? you had to endure it or they gave some medicine and treatment?
What a way to end a beautiful day the Lord has made!! Enjoy your videos sir!!
Alan, "This is the day that the Lord has made. I will rejoice and be glad in it!" TFW, my friend.
Id recommend adding the water first and slowly stir in the powder that should help with the clumping
Good idea, Frank. TFW!
Eric is the man!
Indeed! TFW
you remind me of my grand dad Harvie Mack Downing. He served the US nave and was a military Vet. Lost him in 2011, i found out my local story sells MRE's so i plan to eat one in honor of his service. he was 72 when he died
As a 10 times over Opa (German for grandfather), I appreciate that I remind you of your grand dad. Enjoy the MRE in honor of Harvey Mack Downing. TFW, Jack!
Very interesting! I have the exact older menu MRE sitting in my closet. A former co worker's brother was in the 82nd Airborne and served in Iraq. One day my co worker shows up with a box of MRE's that his brother supposedly gave him and I ended up with the No 5 chicken breast. Haven't opened it and have been considering doing so.
I'd eat it soon, based on my experience on this one. TFW, John!
Hi mate. New subscriber 😅😊
Welcome aboard, Max! TFW
I would like to see a beef n reef mire not sure if they make them you might have combined a beef mire and seafood mire ? Love you videos 💓💓
I've reviewed an Italian MRE that had squid in its own ink, but not both beef and seafood. Good idea, though. TFW
We have jalapeño ketchup here in Texas. Whataburger is a Texas burger place with regular and spicy ketchup
I'll be dawged! TFW!
Went ahead and liked the video while the ad is still playing.
Rooster, you are too kind. I hope you ended up really enjoying it. TFW
@@MeAncient Yes it was another good one of course. I absolutely love this channel and Ace is always trying to steal only the dessert. 😂. When it’s got candy I always look for Aces hand to sneak into the picture.
I love the chicken mres 😋🤩🤩
I liked the new one best, for sure. TFW
Brill dont fancy the sweet mayo 👍👍
Yeah, it is like a sweet variation of Miracle Whip. TFW, Robert!
👍
TFW
Some of the MRE chewing gum is sweetened with xylitol sweetener some people are sensitive to xylitol and it can work like a laxative.
I read an article about that as well. It said that xylitol could have a mild laxative effect on some people. TFW, Morris!
thx for the times
As Bob Hope would say, "Thanks for the memories." TFW
Its not to often that both meals are almost literally the same it all looked pretty dry and plain to me compared to some other meals you have done and id say u probably made the right call on the old soup its a shame because that may have been rhe best part of the meal aside from the m&ms they should have given some BBQ sauce with one of the meals it may have paired a little better with the chicken dishes. But as always another great video keep up the good work i cant wait for the next one
Danny, The chicken would have been a good addition to the soup, if it was back in the day when the MRE was newer. TFW, as always!
Just an outsider's point of view. They may put the matches in so you can start a small fire in your canteen cup stove to heat up water for your coffee/hot chocolate or to heat up the mains in the reason?
Clarence, it could be. We, however, were not issued any type of stove when I was active duty ('80 - 84). We did get Sterno cans from time to time with which to heat up our meals. TFW
I think the 2018 chicken chunk was the best, no FRH but it had buffalo sauce and cheese.
Now that sounds good. I love me a bbq chix sandwich. TFW
Thank you for doing that hungry 😅
The MREs always taste better when hungry. I believe that 's why I usually enjoyed them when active duty....I was always hungry by the time we got to eat. TFW, Maxim!
Matches and coffee depend on if you get accessory pack A or B. A comes with coffee, creamer, sugar and sugar substitute with no matches. B comes with matches but no coffee, creamer, and sugar
Well there you go......I appreciate the clarification. I'll have to watch for that from now on. TFW!
You didn't add enough water to the lemon lime drink. That's why the extra powder didn't dissolve. You can only get a certain amount of powder to dissolve into a given volume of water. That's just chemistry. And it's supposed to taste like Gatorade. You can't really make it taste stronger by not adding the right amount of water. You can only dilute the flavor by adding too much.
There you go......TFW
I’m looking at a case of MRE’s on mountain house from 2023 for $165.00,is that a fair price?
I don't know about fair prices. Just be sure you shop around. TFW
Need to heat the tortillas up at the same as the main. It will help soften them up.
Michael, good idea. I'll try to remember that. TFW
"What's minestrone?" Holy shit I hope that's sarcastic.
You know, it wasn't at the time. I couldn't remember to save my life. It's funny 'cause I used to make it from scratch when I was in the cafeteria business prior to my USMC days. I believe it's called, "getting old." TFW!
@@MeAncient CRS Syndrome.... "Can't Remember S***". 😅
@@MeAncientCarry on, good sir.
@@MeAncient Carry on, good sir.
"Chicken Spam" ...... No greater ad slogan could there be!
Maybe someone will want to hire me to develop their brand slogans.....I won't hold my breath. TFW!
I don’t know if anybody told you, but there was something dark that come out of your mayonnaise when you were emptying the package under the tray
I missed that, Buba. I'll have to go back and take a look. TFW!
The new chicken looks like canned chicken you can get in the grocery store. We mix it with cream cheese, stuff it in Pillsbury crescent rolls, and bake them.
Dawn, now there's an idea! They should include that in the next rounds of MRE menus.......cream cheese and crescent rolls. MMMMM! TFW
Nice comparison video again.
This may sound a bit imprecise, but when kcal is marked on packages, it means kilocalories, which is 1000x more than calories, so if the package says 180 kcal, it means 180 kilocalories (i.e. 180,000 calories), not 180 calories. Normally, a person working in an office consumes around 2,500 kcal during the day, which is 2,500,000 calories.
Carry on.
There you go. Thank you for the pointer, Morris. TFW!
The things I'd do for an ocean side view 😢
I used to have an iron belly but not I can't do spice no more after my last birthday 😢
Dwayne, there comes a time for all of us, my friend. TFW!
@MeAncient hey! Thanks for the reply! Love these vids!
Do one with a newer devil dog sometime.... do a swap...
That's a good idea. Perhaps I could head over to Le Jeune and find a Marine subscriber who would be interested in doing just that. TFW!
Whenever you're making a powdered drink, if there's still chunks that means you need nore water. You tend to be a little stingy on the water as well lol
Good observation. I am a little stingy on the water from time to time. TFW, Adam
MRE gum is made with sugar alcohols - xylitol these days. It's meant as an oral hygiene-friendly replacement for sugar, though in larger quantities, or for sensitive people, it can act as a laxative. The amount in 2 pieces of gum isn't enough to cause problems most of the time, but the gum is best avoided if you're already "moving quickly". Trade it for more TP.
Great analysis! Thanks for that and TFW!
The white on chocolate is called bloom.
What causes that, do you know? TFW
Always good to have a quick prayer before a meal. Usually mine are about Freedom and good health. God loves vegetarians and us meat eaters just the same 🎉
Indeed He does. In fact, as I'm sure you know, Adam and Eve (as well as their progeny) were vegetarians. TFW!
Nothing like watching one of these videos over lunch. And yes, fat free mayonnaise is not mayonnaise, I rather eat less of it than fat free one. I liked the fact the (edited "the") main, the chicken, hold up well over the years, too bad for the other components in the old MRE, but multiple ingredients in a cheese or a sauce, or the cake, is bound to bring trouble, the simpler the better...
Joao, TFW! I appreciate your observations.
Sir, is there a chance to see mre's from differend countries? They seem to be much more entertaining to watch. Ofcourse american mres are interesting too!
The matches are a Sergeant's secret.
Please explain. I'm unfamiliar with that.......TFW, Clayton.
If you eat the match heads, it keeps mosquitoes away. Kind of like carrying a dryer sheet in your pocket. "You have to know these things when you are a Sergeant." This is what i was told by my SFC when I was a young buck Sergeant. It might not be an all around Military or even Army thing but the NCO's in my small ADA world I knew all had heard that. I served in a funny time between when we had matches in our MREs and didn't.
Old MRE Chicken VS New MRE Chicken Me Ancient
Me Ancient love louis shirley
TFW, as always!
What was the mre you liked the most 🤔🤔🤔
Richard, I'm going to have to look into that. Perhaps I'll go over my MRE videos and come up with my favorite.......TFW!
In the field, what do they mix the drink in?? Surely you wouldn't put it in your water bottle??
In my day, we only had canteens and canteen cup. The cup we used for shaving in the field, coffee, powdered drink, and soup. TFW!
@@MeAncient Wow!! Thanks for the reply 👍 love your videos! Braver man than me! And that's just for trying the old MREs 😅
They put matches in so you can start a warming fire when allowed. Sure beats a flint and striker like i carried!!
Hugh, that makes sense. TFW!
To bad they dont have a website where there like discounts or something i wanna try some are pretty expensive and the newer one shave garbage bioengineering in it gotta get old ones !
Do a search on MREs. I have found them online at all different price points and ages. TFW, Andrew.
Ace joining up as a marine corps sniper, picking off those M and Ms in record time especially the peanut ones 😂. Great video keep up the good work Semper Fi CPL. 🫡🇺🇸🫡🇬🇧👍😉
I had to get him to cease fire on the peanut M & M s......TFW!
i prefer m&ms over peanut m&m's.. i love how tortillas have become a more norm in modern mre's... the modern drink mix looks like he's drinking something out of starship troopers
They have made some things better, for sure. TFW
The gum is sweetened with xylitol, which has laxative like effects
Xylitol, sorbitol, manitol......all the same.
I’m so hungry
Scott, get you some MREs! TFW
Ah the newer mre chicken is the canned stuff you can buy, use it for chicken salad sandwiches. Just add mayo salt pepper. Old guilty pleasure
Maybe a few pickles for some crunch? Sounds delicious. TFW
Put that cheese in cooking bag w main and the texture will be better
Good idea. I'll have to try that. TFW
Matches are good for more than just lighting a cigarette it’s just in case you need to make a fire and don’t have any other means to do so
That older cheese and ketchup looks like it had time to oxidize over the years.
It sure didn't look right. TFW
I’ve been eating MREs since 2017 and I will say a lot of these new ones are halfway decent. I just wish the flavor of the gum would last longer because the flavor was always good. I also don’t believe that the gum has laxative in it as I chewed it as often as I got it and never had a change with how stopped up these things make you 😂
Jacob, I agree. Have you been eating MREs since 2017 because you are active duty or by choice? TFW
@@MeAncient I was active duty until august of 2023, now I work a traveling job and I’ll eat them every now and then for something quick to eat.
I like the mms with just the chocolate inside cuz some of my teeth are jagged broke so I can't eat the ones with the nuts in them but love the mre videos
I can understand that!
You may need to light a fire, so of course they include matches.
There you go.....TFW
I have never seen jalapeno ketchup in all my years and never seen chicken with minestrone🤔guess the Army said use the ancient stock first.😬
It was new to me as well. TFW
Sriracha ketchup is really good.
I'll have to give it a try sometime. TFW
I love cheese-its.
