Hey Steve, I'm finally here to show my appreciation for the channel in the comments! Never thought I'd enjoy someone watching military food so much! Keep it up and stay healthy!
Hey thanks dude! Been a cool hobby for a long time now, and it's still surreal to witness how much people enjoy watching some dude eat rations. Will do and take care!
Radioactive lemon-lime always picked my mood up out in the field, that turbo green puts a smile on my face and reminds me of Ecto-Coolers back in the day, little things in the field matter :)
So amazing that you’re able to get your hands on current-year MREs! I didn’t even get anything less than two or three years old when I was IN the military! I hope the viewers appreciate how rare this seemingly “common” MRE is. And I’m very curious about the new outer bag. First REAL change in the outer packaging pretty much ever!
I stocked up for hurricane season this year, in part due to the great educational content from this channel. And you're not kidding. 1 scored 1 case of 2023, everything else I could get or even find was all 2020-2022.
So glad to see Steve is such tumultuous times, as unchanged as ever. Steve, you really are a beacon to many of us. In an ever changing world, you act as a rock that we all comfortably cling to, even if for just a few minutes.

I am so glad you posted a video. My stress level today is through the roof! Theres nothing like relaxing watching you do your thing. Thank you for the much needed break!
honestly, Steve you're a really thoughtful guy, uploading something people of all different types can enjoy on a day that is very divisive and stressful. 🙏
I watch your Mre pizza slice video every time I eat jalapeño chettos when you eat your Italian bread sticks with the jalapeño cheese spread . You make my day with every upload . Love from Canada. I miss the old peanut butter soldier fuel bars in our mre
Hey too cool I'm glad you could stop by and give this one a look. Livin it up down here in Florida - hoping it cools off soon because I want to go camping! Hope you can get some good sleep and take care. Will be back again soon with another review - it's an Estonian ration.
@@Steve1989MREOh wow thank you for the reply, look forward to watching your next video, maybe another one while you go camping. The wife just said she wishes it was hot here and not raining lol. Catch you soon. ‘NICE’
I was watching some of your old school videos. I'm glad there are so many modern MRE to review around the world. I was always concerned when you ate the very old rations in the early videos. But I guess that was what was needed to establish your channel. Enjoy the modern MREs. You really earned it.
When I walk through a flock of geese at the pond I HiSssSSsss at them instead of saying "excuse me" cuz they hiss at me like snakes with wings sometimes.
I love the little edits to musically tap the spoon on the glass. I also really appreciate how steve will gently handle things to preserve their look until consuming it like the apple pound cake.
Steve I wanted to thank you for different circumstances than last week, I joked about your videos being a wedding gift for me and my wife, this week you're bringing us joy in times of sadness, we had to put my best friend Zeke (my dog of 7 years) to sleep today, so I wanted to let you know that your videos bring joy especially when we need it the most, thank you.
3:23 This was the most chipper, upbeat pronunciation of "radioactive toxic waste" since some luckless paper-pusher had to put a positive spin on Chernobyl.
I would normally be all like "Aw, he didn't try to unroll the bread..." but he's always so happy about eating it I can't get upset. He's such a sweetheart.
The lack of coffee is criminal frankly. That lemon lime drink, I remember the colour, the earlier tiny sachet jobs were exactly that radioactive green.
You're such a goober, Steve. I love what you're doing. I've never served but have family who have. You make me feel like I could maybe imagine what a day in the life might be like. Thanks man!
Not sure I've ever heard someone able to describe so well and accurately how food can taste and feel like. English is not my native language, and it's always a delight to hear Steve's vocabulary. Thanks for all the (nice!) content)
My favorite part of every video is the mixing of the beverage base and the coffee. It’s too bad this one didn’t have any coffee, but they needed that money for the new components. Nice.
Watching your videos several years ago is what got me back into drinking coffee. I'd had to cut it out because of my health. You just made it look so good. Now, I have one giant cup after dinner in the den while I watch Doctor Who episodes and smoke.
I will agree, while it was always watery and nearly tasteless, the coffee was somehow a tiny boost of energy, morale, and is an MRE staple. Getting rid of it honestly makes my heart sink, and cheese tortellini is my personal favorite :(
Steve thank you for being here tonight. It’s late / early the next day here and all I will say is I really hope they bring back coffee to the MRE’s. I’m glad I had a respite and fallback to this evening.
There is gonna come a point when Steve is going to review every single type of MRE and he simply gonna have to sit on his hands and wait for them to make more.
There's something so inherently comedic about "lets get this out onto a tray *immediate cut to everything on the tray and still in the packaging* nice"
Nice!!! I remember this one fondly, the old menu variant from my time I remember it occasionally had the original chocolate powerbar-thing in it (they seemed to randomize some of the components because they weren't always the same lol), all around a good package over the years.
Didn't expect to see you here. 😂 "USUALLY I DON'T SMOKE THE CIGARETTES, BUT WHEN I DO - THEY ARE AT LEAST 40 YEARS OLD". (c) from some of his old videos..
Just amazing...I was in the Army in the mid 80's, still had dehydrated menus and the short spoon, no heaters. In summer you had hot hot dogs, in winter frozen hot dogs. Get over it! 🤣🤣🤣
My 2019 Meal Kit MREs all had Instant coffee type II. The FRHs didn't heat up the tomato sauce-based meals very well as it did in your video... but they are good for emergencies for sure!

Better on a tray than in a hand basket! 🧺
He'd have my vote.
As long as he gives the country a " Nice hiss"!!

I think the oldest MRE I was ever issued was around 12 years old? It had a pack of Skittles that had a prize giveaway for the new Xbox 360, in 2017.
I hope they get these out to any troops we have in the field asap..Best recently made (last 25 years) MRE I have seen yet.
It feels so satisfying when he does the line about getting it out onto a tray, and I get to say "nice" in unison.

I love a cold night tucked in and watching steve
Lucky, it’s warm as can be still in Florida, home of myself and more importantly, Steve.
And a Trump win EXTRA cozy!!!!!! 👍
Steve's soothing voice, casual bag opening, and the stirring of army mochas puts me to sleep.
@@CongressSux1776florida sucks ass with those cyclones and hurricanes man
@@zerocool.666 speak for yourself 🤢. Makes it worse tbh
No coffee in a mre seems pretty crazy to me.
They got a cheese tortellini in a plastic packet, but they couldn't get instant coffee.
prob a pack given to troops being given somthing else as a stimulant.
Seems pretty unforgivable. A sachet of instant coffee should cost 5-10 cents at wholesale prices.
The only thing worse than drinking instant coffee is having no instant coffee to drink.
Just as I stop work for my 30 minute break on a night-shift, Steve puts up a video. Nice.

Thank you for your service, Steve. The service of making consistently comforting videos.
Steve! You’ve been spoiling us with all these uploads lately. Super stoked to watch this one ❤
Can we petition to have them changed to MRS? Meal, Ready for Steve.
Someone should make a bib with that on it and send it to him to use in videos
Instead of a use by date, you have to wait 50-150 years

Funny how you show up with a new video just when we need you most, you're a national treasure.
Thanks Steve...this was a welcome reprieve from the real world today.

nice!

Same here. I was watching and thought I need to watch something else.

Love that Steve drops a video on Election Night. Good man.

Aahhh the magical spoon still makes me smile 😅
Every time, without fail, when Steve says "Let's get this out onto a tray, Nice, mmk!!"....I chuckle and repeat it out loud hahaha 🤣
When I was in the hospital I'd watch Steve's videos when I ate my meals. I figured if he's that excited about MREs I can get my calories in too.
