A big part of MRE's is acceptability so they try to include a diverse menu of food to please everyone
[QUOTE=gman003-main;49581579]He didn't need to worry about botulism from the can of jam - botulinum is an [B]obligate anaerobe[/B], since the can was cracked open any botulinum would have died decades ago.
The peanut butter, though... possible. Unlikely but possible - I imagine the army did good QC, and it's not hard to do canning right.[/QUOTE]
Hey I know what that means!
Thanks bio.
if you like MRE videos... I'd suggest you should check out gundog4314, gschultz9 and kiwidude mre. They've got modern, old (mainly gundog) mre and even civilian MRE videos.
Be prepared though, these videos will make you hungry.
I just think eating rations from 65 years ago is a bit risky. Especially if the contents have gone off / growing mould or bacteria.

If it's not in a museum are you not allowed to do whatever you want with it?
[QUOTE=Reagy;49578765]He did one from 1951 as well.

How about a 1945 one?

So I told Steve to eat a 80 year old ration and he actually did it absolute mad man

This guy is going to make himself really sick one day.

you should watch some modern combat ration reviews if you've got the time
it's really interesting to see how different countries package their nation's tradiational food
theres something rather satisfying about the can opening mechanism these have
"I can't eat this thing"
"There's no way I'm gonna eat this thing"
"I'm gonna eat this thing"
It's like he's possessed or something, and like almost every time he regrets it too.
Ashens needs to step up his game to this guys level.
People keep giving me weird looks when they see me watching someone eating old food during my lunch break.
But I can't stop.
I forgot to go grocery shopping on a sunday last week and resorted to a 2010 beef patty MRE and I was worried as all fuck that it went bad, despite knowing that a five year old MRE is NOTHING to be even remotely worried about. These things are amazing, if stored properly you could use them in a pinch decades after.
If you store them in a cool dry place I am not exaggerating they will last over 50 years.
But I've had ones which were just like, a year or two old and were stored in a warm place and they were so, so, so bad.

That's why he's so entertaining.
As soon a he puts something in his mouth it's:
"Oh!"
"Ah!"
"Hmm..."
"Nope, that's terrible."
*eats more*

[I]"Why am I doing this"[/I]
This guy is too funny. He ate like, what, 8/12 of those crackers and the entire time he was just disgusted. Very amusing to watch, but besides that, it really is interesting to see this kind of stuff. I never really have seen much about rations and stuff until now, very interesting!

From 3:40 onwards is the true "why did I open this" moment
The recent JSDF rations he's been reviewing look really damn tasty

And old hot dogs are his most recent.

man i dont smoke much aside from ganja and the occasional cigar, but fuck if him dragging that camel didn't make me jealous
me and my buddies used to have some like early 90s mres that we'd fuck around with and eat, sometimes there was some good shit like some fruit candies that i honestly got addicted to for a while, id always trade my gum or cookies for them
I don't know why MREs fascinate me so much, I've always wanted to try one but i could never bother to look into getting one
Not a goddamn 60 year old one, but yknow

39 year-old ham and eggs, anybody?
How is this guy still alive
Truly a stomach of iron
The way the cans open is so satisfying.
