careful, steve!!! you could get sick eating food so fresh!!

I love that he eats these like actual people would. He looks for ways to combine things, and imagines what dudes in the field might try to do with it when they’re on the third, fifth, and seventh one - when the novelty is gone and they’re starting to pine for something to shake it up.

Steve could make literally anything sound like the most delicious, flavorful meal you've ever tasted.

That cran-raspberry bar is the holy grail item in an MRE. They are incredible. Which they sold them in stores.

Aside from the upbeat and grateful way Steve eats the MREs, his method of combining the individual snacks into something more interesting makes you appreciate that necessity is the mother of invention. I've no doubt that the millions of soldiers across the World are all thinking of their own preparation methods and combinations to boost their morale a little while on deployment.

I served for 20 years and, I have to hand it to you Steve, you're the MRE "maestro" 👊

[dumbidiot]

The musical drink stirring is always a ~Nice~ touch. One of my favorite parts of these videos

[Sebastiangf]

Loving these modern MRE reviews, thank you Steve, keep them up!

[brucekaren]

Thanks, Steve. I just got laid off last week and have been feeling sorry for myself. Then you go and drop two videos. Your positive attitude is infectious. Thanks for helping me through a tough time.

I gotta say from a Army Vet's perspective I was impressed when you revealed a few of the tricks we do when making the MRE's "better" by adding different things to them. The peanut butter packages are always a hot commodity out in the field because of their vesatility and nutrition value. Thanks as always Steve, I have enjoyed every video of yours over the years and they always bring me back to the time when I was a fresh 19 year old pup just getting my feet wet in the middle of places I never dreamed I would ever be in.

[utzius]

These modern MREs are just as interesting as your reviews of older ones. Extremely interesting to see the evolution these rations go through. A very important, but often underappreciated part of the military!

Every day is better with a new video from Steve. My buddy and I were sitting in the park. I opened a can of Coke, and said "Listen to that hiss." A guy sitting nearby turned and said "Nice!" We all had a good laugh together. Thanks for allowing us to make a new friend.

The honey and onion pretzel nuggets are available through Snyders of Hanover, Pretzel Pete's, and through local smaller suppliers for "Country Store" outlets online and in food-producing areas.
They're pretty tasty. They also have a peanut-butter filled variety that are clearly a "sometime treat" because after the first five or six, you won't want any more for a day or three.

The Xylitol sweetener in the chewing gum helps prevent tooth decay by starving out the tooth decay bacteria, but ALSO it will help MOVE THAT MEAL because it's kind of a laxative.

Dude! So glad you've got vids up again! My son and I have watched you for years. When he was little i got him "A Tray" with the word NICE etched on it. He loved eating MREs on hikes.
Glad to see you again! Keep up the good work!

[marcosdarcy]

Had an incredibly hard week. Really difficult and stressful stuff had got me going through it, and was almost at my wit’s end. Then I saw that Steve posted a new video and now I’m thinking things are gonna be ok. So grateful for you, Steve.

[collectingonthecheap]

I could see Steve being granted one wish, and choosing to see what MREs are going to be like in 50 years.

[kareningram]

Nice to see how MREs are steadily improving over the years. This one looks pretty dang tasty. I'm very intrigued by the powdered hot sauce, too. I thought it was going to be just cayenne powder, but no. I guess it lasts longer that way, but I do miss the wee bottles. They were cute.

[Enkarashaddam]

This video fulfills all necessary nutritional requirements, thank you for your work Steve!

[Cinnaben]

Hi Steve love your videos, really helped me get through a lot of hard times in my life. I even got myself some MREs!

[VirmanaMarketing]

There’s something so soothing and entertaining about how Steve’s videos have the same reliable cadence. The consistency is amazing.
