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

Yeah, aside from the MRE Museum incident (Which details are still sparse and Steve just quietly stopped associating rather than calling them out) there's not really any drama at all among them.

It seems like one of the few autistic interests that mostly attracts a fairly wholesome group of people. Also I like that Steve is a Zappa fan.

I'm going to risk autism ratings for this, but if Steve was ever revealed to be a horrible lolcow, it would honestly make me legitimately sad.

He just comes across as so positive and genuine.

Sorry, Mario, but your puzzle pieces are in another castle. I'm certainly not giving them to you over this.

In a world that seems to have gone mad, Steve feels like a stabilizing influence. If he turned bad or turned out to be bad, I'd be unhappy as well.

I think everyone who watches Steve's videos would, the response he got from the one video where he was overwhelmingly (for him) negative about the ration he was reviewing (1993 US MRE Smoked Frankfurters) as a "joke" either had a lot of people worried about him or just not liking the negativity.

In defense, that MRE is not only highly disliked by our glorious military, supposedly it causes serious gastric distress. Constipation from hell. I'd be less than enthused too :)

Yeah but the other ones he did of similar reputation ((v)omelets, i want to say he reviewed the MCI hotdogs too), he was his normal self.

I dunno, he was pretty hard on the American vegetable omelet -- particularly the scone. But then the vomelet has its own, ah, unique reputation.

Or maybe he was just having an off day. Nobody's perfect.

Eh, the 93 hotdog video is wholly different, I honestly think he did do it as a joke, but it was just unlike Steve.
Even the Vomelet video still started off like a normal Steve video.

I just don't understand the hotdog MRE. On a conceptual level.

Why? I know sometimes the main and the sides are a little dissonant, but there's usually some effort to make sure there's a fulfilling meal in there. Who decided "Half a pack of hotdogs, some crackers, and some potato sticks"? That's not a meal. That's snack time for a cranky toddler. Most people don't wanna just stuff weiners into their face. They want them on something, or in something. They coulda done beanie weenies, nobody would have batted an eye. If they had at least included a couple of the wheat snack breads, you could have imagined making a sandwich out of them.

But just half a pack of hotdogs, on it's own? The hell?

Don't get me wrong, I love Steve. After this thread introduced me to him, I stayed up till 3am watching him, then went to bed and told my half asleep wife about the most wholesome man in the world who could make smoking a cigarette look sweet and eats decades old MREs.

Rather than filing for a divorce, watching Steve is now family time.

I'm just saying, he's such a sweet, genuine dude, I could see it horseshoe theorying around to him doing the most heinous things in a completely mellow and wholesome manner.

The same can be said for the current pizza menu.
Its light (3.1 oz vs 18 to 26 oz of other mains, and IIRC very low in calories vs most other MREs) and the meal over all is lacking compared to the others.

God, those little MRE "pizzas" look like abominations.

I applaud the people who do MREs trying to come up with new ideas to keep things interesting and keep improving, but there are things that lend themselves well to the MRE format. Stews and one-pot type meals like chili or pasta dishes, hashes, things of that nature? They work great.

Pizza? Not so much. Tuna salad? Just, no.

That can be okay if it's in separate pouches so you mix it at the time you eat it. If you mix it in advance the ingredients pretty soon react in really nasty ways to each other. They should probably skip mayo though.

You get a commercial, off-the-shelf "Tuna to Go" packet which has barely enough tuna to satisfy a woman on a diet, and an MRE-issue Mayonnaise ration.


Skip to 8:50 for the tuna "salad" reveal.

The mayo in the US MRE is horrible, the mayo you get in the cracker tuna lunch packs for like a buck and change is way better.

The current Tuna menu is lemon pepper at 4.5oz still making it more food then the pizza. The MRE also contains more tuna then off the shelf pouches at 2.6oz

Good. I can see every soldier in the US forces upon getting that original 'tuna salad' ration bellowing 'what the fuck is this 2-bites of tuna bullshit?? do you want me to fight or sit and knit socks for shit's sake!'
