I just fell down the vintage MRE rabbithole with Steve1989MREInfo...

[Guest]

There's another one in there. I so wish you were here, MO. We could sit around on the blue and yellow loveseats in our fuzzy cat slippers and silk undies chowing down on wagyu while we listen to the Cars. Good times, good times!

[Mister Obvious]

I was listening to The Cars earlier today. I was even wearing my Cars t-shirt the other day.

[Mister Obvious]

[Guest]

I'm gonna listen to "Take Another Look" in your honor right now!

[Mister Obvious]

Oh damn...

I haven't spun any New Cars tunes.

Ben Orr was just sort of my absolute rock 'n roll dreamguy crush and without him I can't go there.

[Guest]

It's not the New Cars. It's from the last album they did with Ocasek before he died. Ain't no Rundgren in it.

[Mister Obvious]

Errcode004 makin' me look like a lax Cars fan right now...

[Guest]

Well, you'll be all caught up after this, on account of half of the band members being dearly departed and all.

[Mister Obvious]

(((implied big sad nana)))

[Mister Obvious]

Oh FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mister Obvious]

Steve has had a bitchin' MRE collection.

[Mister Obvious]

2:33 so true, I fucking LOVE Americana.

[Mister Obvious]

This is an 80 year old MRE. Wwwwoowwwww.

[Mister Obvious]

5:29 oh man, that doesn't look appetizing.

5:41 the rusty dust cloud, lmao wow, this is amazing.

6:04 this stuff looks like it rusted out and rotted like 50 years ago.

6:48 sometimes I think he should wear gloves. Just get some disposable black latex gloves or something.

8:55 oh God, sonny. Please for the love of God put on some gloves, this is hella nasty.

11:09 okay, that looks so much better.

11:19 well the can isn't rusted out, but it does look swollen.

11:33 wow, that is so cool.

12:45 holy crap, it's an 80 year old cereal bar. This stuff is in such great condition. I love the way Steve did this video.

12:53 lol he's so excited.

13:10 lol Steve is the coolest, I love this guy. What a trip, his passion/hobby is MREs. So lovable.

13:48 OMG the crackers look amazing.

14:33 wow.

14:52 lot of sun symbolism with this... the crackers had "Sunshine" stamped into them and the coffee is Sol Cafe by Great Star.

15:33 there's decent fiber in this, I'm impressed.

18:29 damn, he should have shown the writing on that more, it looked really cool.

19:17 he just ate an 80 year old fruit bar.

22:08 look at this guy, he's one of a kind. He's wearing an I <3 BACON shirt. What a man. He looks impeccable.

27:26 nice arm shots.

29:10 I literally jumped and shrieked.

That was awesome.

[Mister Obvious]

0:18 I love Steve's filming area, it's so manly.

1:50 OMG look, it's the K rations from the other video.

6:48 look, so tidy. This MRE is 80 years old too. Pretty much 100 years old.

7:32 olive drab latrine paper, I love it.

7:59 lolololol.

9:23 this info insert is actually really interesting.

10:21 lol he's gonna take a microscope to the canned meat.

13:18 Craven "A" Cigarettes with a black cat trademark. Iconic.

16:14 he's wearing a t-shirt that says "Fear The Walken" with Christopher Walken's face on it, roflmfaololol.

16:16 look how fine this guy is.

19:51 I'm surprised he knows which end to light, lmao. Wow, that match trick... he's adorable.

23:28 this guy is so lovable, God bless him.

27:40 so he DOES own gloves!

28:50 I love canned meat, but the sight of that makes me wanna run to the hills.

29:21 *screams*

29:29 a pig that's been dead for 80 years, lolol. What a strange world.

31:23 meat biscuit... pemmican apparently.

32:02 he's intrigued.

I'm definitely gonna fall asleep to these videos tonight. I love how long they are.

33:22 Cadbury, yum.

35:23 the pemmican looks surprisingly good. This is so fun. I love Steve's videos.

36:16 wow, 80 year old lemonade. Every MRE is like a time capsule. That's the feeling it gives you.

41:17 the candy is in perfect condition, I'd eat that.

43:16 God he's gorgeous. This guy. THIS GUY.

46:48 that's exactly what I said, OMG.

47:59 lol look at the gleam in his eyes while he's sniffing the pemmican.

53:18 this is so hot.

1:01:25 *dry heaves*

1:04:37 lol, I was scared he actually did.

1:07:50 this was definitely better than the K ration.

[Mister Obvious]

So this is a 120 year old MRE.

That's...

Intense.

7:30 I'm enjoying the history lesson about MREs, very interesting.

9:28 OMG I'm nervous.

I feel like witnessing Steve's passion has given me a deeper understanding of things.

9:42 oh damn, that was one of the nicest hisses ever.

16:24 this 120 year old MRE is gratifying as fuck.

22:33 he's gonna make hot chocolate out of it.

40:56 rofl. I was thinking the same thing about the shirt.

This is awesome, I'm totally nodding off though.

According to Wiki, the only times he's gotten food poisoning have been from newer MREs...

[Mister Obvious]

I'm gonna start a petition that we wanna see Steve shirtless.

400,000 signatures. It's for a good cause, let's do this.

Just one pic of Steve shirtless, that's all we're gonna be asking.

Taken outdoors in golden hour lighting.

And his hair gotta be down.

[Mister Obvious]

And he should be wearing camo pants... woodland camo, old school, none of that new shit.

[Mister Obvious]

f i i i i r r r r r e e e e e

[Mister Obvious]

I'ma keep it one hunnit though...

It do get slightly concerned when he talks about saving weird shit like a smoked cig butt or the leftover canned meat from his unboxings though.

Sooooooooooooo.

But I mean...

Yeah.

Like.

If his freezer is full of 100 year old potted meat in Ziplock bags, I hope he's at least plainly dating that shit on the bags...

Like in case he ever dies or something and people go thru his freezer, like bro, think of the future, that's all I'm saying.
