, right? We get the ham,

beans

and juices through the can.

There's a dead one back here ooh, not bad, there's something a little sticky in here like, yeah, there was something that started poking in there and dripping, look at that, yeah, not bad, so I. I mean, I can guarantee it won't be edible, but we're definitely going to check it out anyway. I mean, I've never seen ham and

beans

before, well, I don't see any reaction, nothing like that. Lock codes are somewhat unknown. number pattern, but I would say it's definitely 1963 or 64. Look at the simple ingredients endorsed by the Northern American Packing Corpo

ration

Boston Massachusetts, not bad and see, there's one more thing here it should be like a sponge cake or something, yeah, is another one of these. pecan pie roll, yeah, Lisa said it right this time, August 11, 1963.

Hey, having the box is in pretty good condition, you know, I mean, this mci really held up for being about 52 or 53 years old, not bad, let's take this out on a tray, okay. See the ham and broad beans were first acquired by Old Faithful here, this one was made in 1962, you know, with p30 8:4, it came in a box of 12 MC, it's very good, my goodness, you can see Well, it smells enough, huh? nice metallic, oh boy, this thing hasn't even come out on the tray yet, that's already pretty tattered, well, nothing like that, let's dip it, yeah, oh boy, I feel like they put a mask on me, like, yeah, yeah, let me do that. real quick, well he's definitely gnarly enough to wear a mask, well guys nothing.

Wow, dear. Hey, look, the inside of the can looks pretty good. There is some kind of slop emanating from the outside of this can. I thought it would come from inside yet. It smells incredibly disgusting in there, I mean, it's disgusting in a way, so yeah, that's something, look at that, not bad, well, well, that requires me to take a spoonful and at least give it a push. I mean, I'm I'm not going to eat any of this, I'm sorry, but I'm sure the whole line when it gets to the point where it's okay, let's see a big pile, let's do this, oh, that's good, oh God. , yeah, that's fantastic, look at that in a small.

There were boys in the war, there are stories of this one coming in, this main one was just I mean they liked ham and beans before they loved it, but after eating this they never wanted to eat it again, so let's get this out of the way. . way so it doesn't get sloppy with the rest of this good stuff, okay, let's check that b2 unit, it'll probably have a little whistling sound, let's see a good hit, okay, it doesn't look as far away as I thought it would be crackers. Wow, look at that cheese, how is it burst?

But I think maybe I have. Let's take a look. Does that say plastic cream? Damn, I can't imagine that. Let's point this out just in case. Okay, I can't move on. Actually, I'm a little worried. about that he hissed a little yeah yeah this is one reason I have eye protection yeah okay okay you guys already know these cheese spreads are definitely my favorite they build up pressure over time usually they burst inside the b2 unit, but then those cans start to swell, but surprisingly this one isn't in the worst shape, but it's actually still pretty bad, we got some black mold in there, oh yeah, look at that, oh no is wrong, I mean, yeah, and then check it out like, um, come on. check it out yeah it's just wow what do I do?

Who? Well, no, yes, start now as if you are really starting to penetrate the mask. That smell is. I'll leave that there, let's take another p38 that others have been dipped, yeah, they can't grow, nice little list on it, okay, let's see if we can get this one out on the tray, unlike last time, which has a nice cinnamon swirl. I have to smell this, look, it smells fantastic. I wonder if that's just because it's compared to the rest of this whole thing, uh, yeah, why does that always have to happen? Skip that nice little thing, well, it's definitely not Cinnabon, but I mean, hey, he's 52, eh, geez, one's about 53 now, okay, I just took off that mask, let's see hmm, yeah, the ones rooms are definitely as ranked as you could get oh um, yeah, well, yeah, let's see here, well, let's see that.

Gone is the cake roll, um, it breaks apart like a cinnamon bun does, you know, it's like swirly layers mm-hmm, you say you know, you care, I just gave this just a little bite, huh, that's pretty dry, hmm, oh yeah, and it's pretty stale, oh. It's those nuts, the other one, oh, and I'm just offering right on this tray and it just has to go in a second here. I mean, I can't last much longer than this, it's huge with a stench that's like yeah, you. I know it's as bad as burying your face in a dumpster look at that cookie, let's see if the cookie smells incredibly stale hmm well hey, the cookie is still edible not bad I really don't know how I guess I guess this part you already know the cheese, yes, it didn't turn out well, that sums it up for the ham and beans.

I have to get it out of the room and then let's check the accessory packaging, how to smoke, right now, the good part leaves this. with this accessory pack, okay, here we go, okay, I have more Pall Malls elevators are always good, you can count on Pall Malls, especially when they are at least 45 years old and some toilet paper and instant coffee, which has a Quite interesting appearance. a little bit, go cool the dry cleaning product, we'll see if it's good or not, it probably won't be and granulated sugar and let's see some matches and some gumlets, let's see mint flavor and the simple ingredients had gum back then Made from gum base, corn syrup softener and sugar. starch and natural flavor, not all that crap they put in gum now is, and of course your old school ration era matches, which you practically just slid the head of this match into this thing, I mean, they just took his hits off, so easily, I mean nowadays you barely have to do anything, MRE, how will that match cover that cheese smell, not that in today's MREs, matches don't be so good, although I had that instant coffee first and let's see this looks good, yeah. it's still perfectly fine usually unless it feels rock hard and it's usually not as nice a fine granule it's almost like powder and we'll use that sugar with that old dry cream product we can count on this don't be good, it's just better for display because it's light cream and skim milk, believe me, it's no good anymore so we'll postpone that.

Had a 5 pack of Pall Mall, best quality money can buy, excellent and they are tax exempt in USA use out of us nice total military cigarettes that's for sure ok time to check out these hubs commercials, okay, yeah, let me show you how to always push it from the bottom, it looks good, oh wow, they smell just like the last ones, it's that aged Pall Mall. It smells like it's 52 or older, a kind of smell you just can't find anywhere else, pall malls are really in many ways my favorite, the unfiltered king size ones, mmm yes I've tried them several times now and always.

They have been amazing, dry, sweet, it's a complex, sweet, botanical flavor, wow, that's really smooth, exceptionally smooth, it has no flavor at all. I mean cigarettes, usually, oh yeah, that coffee, I'm telling you, cigarettes usually. Take a bite, they close your lungs, they make you cough, this doesn't make you cough, yeah, it's not bad and with this coffee it's just a perfect balance. Why I will continue to have cigarettes and rations is beyond me. Someone has to bring it. Come back and look at this. I got this from a pilot's survival kit in 17. Very old Wrigley's gum.

It's like the oldest Wrigley's gum I've ever found. Not bad with the flavor at the end. You should check this out sometime. Don't know. I can't bring myself to open it, it's like the best one I've found, I think it's great, although this is the closest thing to going back to the DeLorean, as it's nice to know what I love, I mean, I remember reading it again. tastes younger like oh yeah, the sea rat smokes, they burn like a fuse from an old cartoon, you know, I haven't gotten any like that yet, they all burn normally and not only that, but this one right here I mean, take away the jump cuts .

I'm telling you this thing has been burning for probably two and a half minutes and it's not even halfway done. I started to feel that nicotine. You know, when I was in Doswell with the MRA meeting and symposium, I learned about some really interesting new things. friends met some old guys like House'll from Germany flew from Germany the black dog Bob was his ruler yak name not found Emery info that guy is awesome and a F Emery info watch his channel but I also met old Smokey and him He gave me this hand and beans thanks a lot mate, super cool, check out old Smokey's channel, he does MRE

review

s and I will do a lot more for the growing communities, he is getting bigger, more people know about the rations and all These interesting things, old Smokey. he knows about these cigarettes, they're just some things you can't get in the new ones and those cigarettes is definitely one of them, they come out really fast, it's okay if you can bite into them, they're really nice and smooth, oh yeah, look perfectly cool , hmm, oh.

Yeah, well, maybe it's a little brutal, but not that bad, yeah, that gum, I even mean, it's just that natural peppermint oil, that perfectly balanced sweetness, that really is the best gum. You can't get gum like that anymore. I'm going to save this other one. piece put enjoy the rest of this, that's right, well it wasn't all bad MCI hand and beans nothing but the best, this is Steve 1989 no memory infocom I hope you liked the video. I will return to you with something new or old. Alright, see you later.
