    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! :-)

    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.

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.

    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.

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!

    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.

  • @gschultz9
    @gschultz9 8 лет назад +18

    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!

    • @gschultz9
      @gschultz9 8 лет назад +2

      +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!
