A double feature - the first half is British Royal Air Force rations from 1945. The Emergency Flying Ration Type 3, and the Emergency Ration Type P. (This scene was filmed November 2018.) Then after these two rations another two tins are shown from a 1945 Compo (10 man) ration, and a Mess Tin Ration component (Which include some microscope shots making for an aimlessly colorful particle show of unknown non-living and some potentially living bacterial matter.) After these, we then take a look at a special sealed can from circa 1900, going back in time with something perfectly preserved and truly unforgettable. Finishing up with some long winded historical ramblings and a look at 120 + years in British Rations, including some incredibly old (and bloomed) chocolate . Come join me in this outrageous journey through history!

@Tom-Bomb2 years ago Omg dude. I can' t thank you enough for opening those 120 year old cigarettes and sharing that historic moment with all of us! I can' t get over like bro. You opening that can and releasing air that hasn' t been exposed since the end of the 1800' s- from a time when people still rode horse and buggy, in the waning days of when the west was still wild, the second industrial revolution, and over a decade before the titanic sank, the completion of the panama canal, and the start of the first world war- and then seeing that inside metal shine and see the light of day for the first time in over 100 years, not to mention that perfect card sitting on top was almost too much for me- like for real, that sight was meant for people who lived over 100 years ago and thanks to you, all of us were able to see it too! It was an honor and really almost too much for words- just spectacular! I can' t thank you enough for that. Keep up the great work man, love ur vids!
p. S. Those queen victoria tins are equally next level! I' ve seen them before but never with the freakin chocolate still inside and intact! Like jesus, that' s legendary shit man! I' m really jealous. But hey, you think i can bum a stoge? Lmao. ...Expand 6
