Steve1989MREInfo / Steve1989 / Steve Thomas - that guy that eats old MREs

  • 🔧 At about Midnight EST I am going to completely fuck up the site trying to fix something.

Obviously something made for elite pilots where only ~20,000 units are made per year isn't something you're gonna find at an army surplus store, but I wonder what kind of strings Steve had to pull or "I know a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy" kinda deal he had to go through to get those.

I'd assume he's one of the more popular people in the whole MRE scene so people are always trying to curry his favor. Does he even have any enemies? Would anyone be fool enough to take out an anti-Steve stance?

He just seems like a genuinely nice dude in every possible way.

NGL, the main doesn't look THAT bad, but those mashed potatoes are...questionable.

I'll note he didn't eat those potatoes. The main looks fine to me as does the rest of it. Also, I think I've talked about those big square crackers and peanut butter. I love those things. Little weird not to include any other drinks though.

When I was a kid I had relatives who would always bring around these MREs and some of them at least had components that were good. Those giant square crackers were great with the packets of peanut butter they had. They totally stuck to the top of your mouth but were delicious.

We had the surplus company in the other town that sold everything from used combat boots to food for absolutely nothing. The old Swedish army formula for instant chocolate only needed water(hot, cold, doesn't matter) and it is still my favorite instant chocolate. In my mind! Haven't had it in a long time. A crate of those packets could be bought extremely cheaply.

If you didn't see it because you saw "wait this is a full hour video about Charms candy" you should skip ahead because he gets into metabolic analysis and then hydrogen generators and balloons and radio transmitters later.

Incidentally I'm pretty sure this is one of the rations I encountered as a small child when I was in the Cub Scouts because someone brought in an old ration and it was mostly candies discolored exactly like this, and that was in the early '80s. They were square.

Steve just uploaded a remarkably well preserved 1993 MRE

The first spoon instrumental in this one was outstanding--the little flourish at the end!

Another Steve doubleheader.

I understand the intended application, but it's still funny how much this ration looks like a giant version of the snacks you'd pack to take a little kid on a day trip.

Someone should make toddler MREs; they'd sell as a novelty as well as to people who are covering all their bases for the apocalypse. Yeah, you can buy those Gerber Li'l Entrees off the shelf, but it'd be hilarious to have a matte brown retort pouch of Nuggets, Chicken, Dinosaur-Shaped.



I finally impulse-bought some Humanitarian Daily Rations and they were really, really good. At least, the entrees were: they were mostly lentils or beans, but the flavors were all well-balanced. Mild but not bland; even the black-eyed peas in tomato sauce didn't have that canned tomato acidity. If they were an option, I'd pick HDR lentil stew over a Tasty Bite dal any day.

The peanut butter packs were good but unremarkable, as were the vegetable crackers. The 300-calorie vacuum-packed cookies went immediately to the children. The spoon was sturdy and finely-crafted.

Steve is so good, he could make dry dog shit and cat piss seem like the tastiest thing in the world.

He literally just made a Cooking With Jack tier garbage stew from a 30 year old MRE and I was fucking salivating.

He should become a fairy tale narrator or something like that. His tone of voice is very unique. Attention grabbing, soothing and whimsical at the same time.

Truly a magical man. I love him.

I always wonder how much Steve must enjoy normal food, cuz I've eaten military food once and it was not good. Steve makes it sound gourmet.

This is why I want to see him eat a Lunchable for April Fool's Day. Or a Popin' Cookin' kit.
