What makes your videos great is that you're really, really good at describing flavors and textures. Even though you don't look like a hipster foodie and this isn't a foodie subject, you talk about the MREs in a foodie way and it makes the videos so interesting. So much so that I even had a friend buy me a few MREs from out in Afghanistan so I could try them myself. I even watch the ads at the beginning in their entirety out of respect for your great work!

honest question, steve. how much of your diet is eating rations? nice back to the future shirt btw

Great compilation.. would love to see more like this. Nice touch changing they Albums in the background. Clever addition.

Man, I've watched your videos for a while now. You have such a positive attitude. I feel like you'd be such a great and knowledgable person to hang out with!

I don't know what it is about your videos but I can't get enough of them. You're narration is very relaxing to listen to and these videos really help me clear my mind after a long day. Please keep it up.

I found a whole case of the vintage dark mres and threw away like 90% of it thinking i couldnt eat it and im so mad at myself now that i know more about them

He always sounds so enthusiastic.

Hey Steve1989, Great video, brought back memories. I remember during my time in the USMC during the 70's how popular the chocolate disks with toffee were, especially when trading your meal with other Marines, they gave you alot of leverage. Thanks again!

What a great idea for a topic, awesome Steve! It brings back a lot of great memories of some of the old deserts.

I like that you keep changing vinyls with every new dessert lol great video as always!

Vietnam Era vet here. Fruitcake....mmmmm. It didn't have the crappy dried green and red pieces in it. Just rich dense full of cinammon and butter and full of raisins and nuts. I'd like to find some of these. Even if you don't like fruitcake, this is an ideal dessert.

I don't know what it is but, I have a satisfying experience watching you eat MRE's

I really enjoyed this format! Great angle on some really unusual items. Great work sir! As usual, your vinyl game is strong.

Love your videos Steve. We all get together in the break room at work and watch these during our breaks. Thanks for sharing!

Steve, I love your videos and I have a suggestion: Id like to see a video about MRE "field recipes". Like taking components from different rations and making a better overall meal. Perhaps you can touch on "Ranger Cookies" or the like, taking coffee creamer and sugar then cooking with matches to make a small pastry. Stay awesome dude!

I've watched this video 3 times and I just now realized the changing album cover in the background. 😆

As always I greatly enjoy your reviews. A great glimpse at both history and the longevity of different products.

Steve, excellent new segment and really good choices both in content and enumeration.

Oh, and after seeing the Freeze-Dried Fruit all the way up at No.2 I felt a little bit guilty once again about that FD Strawberries pack that was in the 1995 Chili and Macaroni you sent to me. What a rare treat that one was (especially since it wasn't even supposed to be in there--since it was supposedly replaced by thermostabilized fruit that year!

this was really cool definitely looking forward to other top tens especially top ten worst meals. also we appreciate the work you put into the background and everything else for that matter.

Steve some of these discontinued items; are there any modern commercially available approximations?

those drink mixed look like when I use a jelly/jello pkt and add some hot water to it and drink. [it calms down my acid reflux quicker than anything else]

Dude i get so stoked about your video's man, good job! I'm always impressed by the way you describe the different flavors and textures of the different food items and your ability to remember all the different types of rations and their manufacture dates :) Good job man, keep it up!

Wow! I can remember eating a fair number of the older desserts you describe in the video, but since I was out of the Army in January 1982, obviously I didn't get to try the "newer" ones. One thing about the Chocolate with toffee nuggets, we would melt them and pour the mixture over the top of our canned cinnamon rolls (also heated up) for a truly delicious flavor and tongue pleasing experience. Thanks for the video's, Steve.
