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

New content from Steve:

Unfortunately there wasn't much left edible in the old 70's ration but how bout that trail mix in the Canadian one from 2017? Looked tasty.

Did Steve say that he's taking a break or something? His last video was on New Year's Eve. He hit 1,000,000 subscribers since then and not a peep.

 

[Feathers and Stones]

Sad to see a lack of new content. He's a lovely fellow with great informative videos.

 

[Dick Pooman]

He has heard our cries. He hurt himself back in January and hasn't been able to film until recently.

I love his Zappa cd he keeps on his display shelf.

I hadn't heard that. What happened?

Glad to see he's doing vids again. The man must have a gut like a damn Tyranid though.

He wrote about it in the video comments

Just saw the comment in the 1943 one and noticed this interesting little tidbit!

Right now I'm in the middle of filming an incredibly well stored and fascinating ration from 1906

Every time he does a review of something over a century old it's fascinating.

I love this man.

Heck, that 1943 ration looked decent enough for being over 75 years old.

I don't think I'd eat anything in it though.

The eternal Chinaman has attempted to poison our beloved Steve. Thankfully, he has survived to tell the tale!

Chinese one was great though a bit nauseating. Canadian one was alright.

That really makes me wonder just how effective the Chinese are going to be in any kind of deployment. I haven't heard Steve sound that appalled since the infamous vegetable omelet MRE.

 

[AnOminous]

He actually ate the vomelet, though. That "chow mein" was a fucking nightmare.

That's why if I were to import food, I specifically avoid food made in the People's Republic of China. Chinese-made food has a history of safety hazards ranging from selling pop-up restaurants and food carts recycled cooking oil from sewage and animal waste ("gutter oil") to selling low-quality booze along with infant dairy powder that contained melamine and even making plastic rice and fake eggs (the fake eggs are ending up in India and Africa too, apparently).
Also, just a bit of irrelevant info, a lot of consumer foods from Japanese/Korean brands and even domestically sold tuna is Thai.

It seems like there must have been a bad batch or something; the old chinese MREs were kind of bland, and if anything overly-plastic-y, but perfectly preserved. Certainly not something out of a bad Doctor Seuss nightmare.

He said all three of them were equally terrible, and showed two of them in that video. It looks like they're largely inedible.

Too bad because the design of the actual flameless ration heater was reasonably good. But any weight spent on inedible food and a heater to heat inedible food is wasted.

Even if those things had edible food in them, though, the design of the whole meal was bad and weighed too much for how much was in it. That shit wouldn't pass muster in the U.S. and obviously, dangerous and poisonous food wouldn't either.

That's what I meant by a bad batch, or a change in the process, or something. I'm refering to the previous iteration of PLA MREs, which came in a green pouch.

Like this one here:

Sounds like that whole line is bad. Maybe they contracted it out to some scumbag operation that completely ripped them off. The 2015 one looks fairly edible (and weighs about 40% less).

Didn't he also try a PLA airforce meal once? if memory serves me well he didn't think it was really bad, just extremely alien with all the slippery and slimy seaweed and and gelled fish goop. But yeah the last few vids show that even the Chinese can get chinked by contractors.
