40 YEAR OLD MRE Review 1982 Beef Diced With Gravy TASTE TEST | Vintage Brown Bag Meal Ready to Eat 

So you are saying I'm really old? ...Nice old one, these are always a blast to open up.

Wow, eating an MRE that is older than you are is pretty brave, my friend! Great review! Keep them coming!!!

14:59 Sir when I heard that I panicked 😂 You have balls of steel!

WOW I couldn't eat that crap in 1987 when I was in The Marine Corps!!!! We had C Rats laying around to! From 1975 to 1982. Nice video RIP! FELLA!

Great review!

His era was my favorite. I bought a bunch of them in the 90's. I got to eat them when they were experimental in the service. Thanks for the review!

Dude you're crazy for trying that cheese!! Love your reviews!

Great work man !! so much hard work and quality videos. wish you good luck bro 💪

I dig your reviews . I'm always laughing my ass off when you do these .

Your my channel now, finally another one like Steve. Love you guys be safe and Merica ❤

Got this exact ration coming Monday! Yum... Also I know what it's like eating rations older than you. My oldest was a 1944 Royal Canadian Navy tin. This is gonna be the oldest MRE.

Maybe Steve1989 has an upcoming protege? 😎 Just discovered your channel. Very good reviews! I subscribed.

Just me sitting here yelling noooooo to the cheese spread! Usually I like watching people eat gross stuff, but everything about the cheese just had me like DONT DO IT BRO...AINT WORTH IT!!!

Awesome review rr

I have a case of 82's and badly want to open it but I know all 12 bags will be a hit or miss. I might though. Haha, great video man. Love the lighting.

I would NOT have tried the cheese, very good review

I think I would have stopped as soon as I saw the colour of the beans😂 Oh..my...gawd.. I was gagging just hearing you trying that cheese spread! I hope you don't get really ill, rotten cheese spread can be pretty lethal. Very fascinating review!

I used to work in Defence stores in the U.K. We had ration packs and we would get instructed to open certain batches to inspect wether they were any good. Always the sweets would deteriorate and then the whole batch would be scrapped. It was In the 80s and all the tinned stuff and drinks kit was always perfect. We used to take them home rather than bin them.

Awesome, detailed review. Thank you! I think this ration would have been great with a little pack of dehydrated mashed potatoes for the beef and gravy. It's amazing how well the whole thing held up. I bought a bunch of brown bags a few years back, because I wanted to find the chocolate covered cookie, the freeze dried fruit, and the salted crackers. I found them, and I'm still amazed at how well certain components can hold up through the years. My experience is that cheese spreads age in one of two ways, they either develop an awesomely funky, strong, aged-cheese goodness, or they become five-day-old summer-sun roadkill packed in a pouch. I'm sorry (but amused) that you got the latter. Interesting that there was no cold drink? Again, I have to commend you for the detail in your reviews. You've got the knack of it, stick with it and you could be a legend..... -Zed

After that cheesing your probably immune to most communicable diseases lol

Your lucky, in 4 years in the USAF I never had a chance to heat one up or reconsitute them. Ate many Dried beef and pork patties.

The cheese never holds up well, but it has to be tried and the components that are still edible make up for the smell.

Always enjoy the old ones. Another great review, loved the saltines, as I remember them as a kid. Do you ever wonder if something this old was perfectly stored, would everything survive? Maybe you know.

I ate them when they were brand new military issue. I was so missing the old Crats. There was no flameless heaters and they were out of the old stinky heat tabs. Very few items out of the MRE I preferred over the Crat. The newness of them wore off real quick.I Active duty Army 1981-1984! Lol We didn't run out of C rats till probably mid 1983. Then we switched to the MRE in Berlin Germany.

Oh boy! Hope you enjoyed the industrial strength crackers. I got news for you that cheese spread was a biohazard from day one .

"not for inflight use." I know probably not what they meant, but I just imagine a fighter pilot trying to prepare this meal and eat It while in the air.

15:02 Steve1989MREInfo must be shaking in fear, he's met his match

Brother..Looks like you were eating at the ptomaine tavern... Cheese spread looks like catfish bait... I hope you don't get the Tijuana squirts.. BTW: My wife and I loved the commentary.LOL.

Man your freaking crazy lol 😂 Great review though, watching others suffer can be comedy 😂😂😂

Lmao, that cheese spread looks like and from your response sounds like it could be a weapon of mass destruction..

They weren't that great when I ate them in the 80's. Can't imagine in 40 years they got better. LOL

You’re a brave man. 😂

My cheese spread is perfect. Perfect condition somehow!

I've had this one and that beef was pretty decent. Shame your chocolate bar was so wrecked. Great video though.

Always weird how dry the meat gets when it's been soaking for so long! Looks decent though. I usually stop when I get the numbness 😂

👍😀🇺🇸

No way on that cheese spread its horrible tried it once never again

Did you get sick?

All American chocolate has chemicals to stop it melting unfortunately. Cool video though 😎

🤢👍

Nice Stalecracker reference :)

I Have to watch the video before you get a thumbs up from me
