Probably completely safe to eat. If it hadnt been stored completely dry, it would be completely moldy. If its dry then its probably fine.

Steve1989MREInfo is oddly compelling.

It's the audio quality. He's not just MRE review, it's also an ASMR channel. Figuring out to combine the two was just unbelievably savvy, dude deserves every bit of his success.

"Let's put it all onto a tray... Nice!"

I adore his commitment to use the tray no matter how impractical or nonsensical it is.

The opposite of "We Want Plates": we have a plate where it wouldn't strictly be necessary.

In like 5th or 6th grade (whenever we were learning about the civil war) the teacher or some parent actually made hard tack from a civil war recipe and I gotta say, from seeing some fresh it doesn't look like it changed much in those 153 years lmao. His was a bit redder, our fresh one was more the color you'd expect, and it was just as hard if the crunches and klinks are any indicator, but ours just tasted like blandness, his must've been stored with mothballs over the years. They didn't give us any coffee though (or even mention soaking it, fed it to us dry), now I kinda want to make a sheet and try it again! Honestly I bet you could ad in some shit like cinnamon and it wouldn't be too bad.

Pretty much any additive would decrease its longevity. Of course, I’m not sure it matters if we’re talking decades versus years.

That’s actually insane
