  • I did the same thing with a can of peaches. I saved it in my tool box and seven years later i ate it on my last day. I know it wasnt as long as forty years but i always said i would eat it when i quit my job (retired quit fired lol whatever the senario)

  • ohh I thought it said coke?

  • @ioport The can was sealed. No bacteria could get inside. While age will effect the taste and texture, it will not make you sick.

  • This colonel is awesome!

  • That's why he was Colonel :D, because he has guts of steel :D

  • @TheOnix123 So long as it is only a small amount of 'spoiled-food', anyone can handle it safely. I ate some spoiled beef, brocolli, beans, carrott and cauliflower on Friday and I did not feel ill at all. Yet when I ate Chicken that was off, sick for days. That is because chicken is hard to tell if it is off or not. Others have eaten it while off and not noticed. Then they were ill for days too... I did not want to spit it out as it was at a dinner. So ate a small part of it then said I was full.

  • dont have a car man

  • One sundries can containing the accessory packet:Gum,toilet paper,a P-38can opener,granulated salt,and a flat wooden spoon and the cigarette packet: one 9-pack of cigarettes and a book of matches. The C-Rat's were replaced with,The Meal,Combat, Individual (MCI) was the name of canned wet combat rations.

    The "Ham & Lima Beans" entree, a perennial unfavorite, U.S. soldiers and Marines, who considered even pronouncing the correct name brought bad luck, instead calling it "Ham and Motherfuckers".

  • Thank you for your service, Col Moak.

  • Congratulations Henry.  Thank you for all the years you've given to our country. We are all very proud of you.

    Frank

  • canned food stores surprisingly long... but i never thought canned cake would.

  • Loved that he opened the can with the proper implement. And I'll bet the C-Ration cake was much tastier than the newer MRE version (cake in a pouch?)

    Thanks for your Service, Henry Moak. Welcome back to Civilian life....

  • Wonderful... the cake was made in China in 1963... Ho Chi Min probably had one with candles...

  • 40 year old cake..i hope it was good*****

  • Next stop: 40-year-long stomach virus.

  • I wouldn't eat it

  • It... actually looks kind of tasty

  • "If its not black im gonna eat it" ePIc loLZ

  • he's had that can since Vietnam,

    thats such a long time

    but i guess that MREs never go bad, ever

  • amazing press coverage!

    this is real news!

  • AMERICA FUCK YEA!

  • This is my father in this video, and I have something to share with him:

    Dad, this was one great weekend. You are a true warrior and soldier, and I can only hope that my military career is half as successful as yours has been, thank you for being the leader you have always been, and setting the bar high for me.

  • Whoa he's your father?! I'm glad you recognize you recognize what great of a person he is

  • you're a fucking retard, and you will repeat any dumb fuckin thing you hear on TV like a robot.

  • That is one awesome pound cake. Colonel gets internet points!

  • the old stuff i believe has a much longer life but have more bulk and weight, well the new stuff is light and less bulk but the life span is a little shorter.

    i've only had a few things from the new MRE, and they were bad, even thou the cracker is almost hard tac if not already. as for the main meal i haven't had on yet. just the shit on the side.

  • my boyscout troop went to an army national guard base and they gave us a couple dozen MREs and they werent half bad, with a little hot sause

  • I salute you Colonel...thanks for your service...

  • he has a lot of ribbons

  • no its vaccuum sealed and is still good.

  • By the way Africantiger, the tigers werent "technically" on the continent Africa sice most likely the fossil remains were from the perioid when all of the continents were together as a single land mass, and then they began to dissapear because of the plate tectonics moving away, so really Africa wasnt even there yet so technically weirdbot could say that tigers never roamed Africa, only what would eventually become Africa. Even the simplilist of Neanderthalls can figure that out. :D

  • wtf

  • wow, nice 40 years old an still good

  • it would make sense that it taste good because it was still vacuum sealed and wasnt opened for over 40 years

  • I'm sorry but thats funny as hell man he does look like he is eatin some old pussy hahahahaha

  • people chew pussy? what the hell man

  • I bet his stomach had the same pain as if he got hit with a Tiger Uppercut from Sagat off of street fighter

  • "ohhhh gross" hahaha

  • naw don't even need to call names just say this, PROVE that US soldiers are raping 13 year old girls cause I bet you can't.

  • Tasty.

  • opppssss ache  tummy cake :P

  • hes gonna get a tummy cake XD

  • did you get beat as a child?

  • WHY?

  • And I rest my case like I said I wont do any name callin just showin that you have ABSOLUTELY no evidence of any sort of action done by our military oh another thing the logic behide a Colonel eatin a 40 year old ration cake is because he entered the military back in 1969 during the Vietnam War and he wanted to save it for his RETIREMENT which it is an sweet one due to the fact that he is a COLONEL in the US ARMY. And thats simple logic.

  • thats bullshit and u know it-the guys who made that stuff didnt plan for it to last that long-and besides-its a critical risk element right there-food poisoning.Besides,there are better ways to end retirement as a soldier.

    Its irrational-the same reason a US soldier would rape a little gal in iraq and kill her after that-irrational

  • Well if the Colonel dies in acouple of days then u are right but that won't happen because his retirement fund from being a retired Colonel in the US Army will cover the medical costs and yes the US has the BEST medical facilities in the world so I think that Colonel is not too worried about it. And again there is NO evidence that any US military personel has done that sorry you might have to look at some middle-east country about raping 13 year old girls :)

  • i dont like educating you ignorant kid on youtube-but if u paid attention-a US soldier was recently jailed for life for raping a 13 year old iraqi gal then killng her and her family after that.

  • Comment removed

  • Oh I don't want to burst ur bubble but Tigers live in Asia not Africa so you better change ur name to something that makes sense like Africanlions or something

  • u douche bag-read a book-Tigers first roamed africa more than a million years ago then disappeared for some reason

  • Actually I do read books and Sabretooth Tigers (the largest of the tiger species) use to roam in North America during the last Ice Age some 15,000 to 10,000 years ago before they died of. Oooo this is too much fun MY logic is making somebody mad hahahahahahaha!

  • i didnt talk about sabre tooth tigers and i dont know why chose to bring it up-u said there were no tigers in africa-and i said-they were there millions of years ago,they might not be there now-but fossil remains show clearly that they were there-scumbag

  • Nope back then Africa wasn't a solo continent but was joined with either europe or south america, look u might as well call youself Africandodo because in ur sad understanding of things you think the dodo bird came from africa inwhich it didn't as the same as tigers come from Asia not Africa.

  • so how is a bot weird?and why would a bot be weird?

  • Africandodo I mean tiger: Read ur profile infact everybody on here read this clowns profile and read the comment I left for him he is about as dumb as a box of socks hahahahaha that and you make Canadians look bad anyway kid.

  • ZINGPOW!!!! Fucked your shit up boy!

  • weirdbot-u are as dumb as any american-fat,lazy and ignorant of the ways of the world

    shut the fuck up u trailer trash low life

    Now where were we.........

  • sound logic.

  • How about he changes his name to SHUT THE FUCK UP

  • EricLR81: No name callin friend I'm making Africantigers look stupid because he has no idea what he is talkin about he calls me names because he can't explain to me how Tigers come from Africa so it's fun makin fun of him :)

  • they did not show the footage of him crying on the toilet :(

  • Oh yes, he'll be fine for now. 2 hours from now he'll be sitting in the shitter squeezing his guts wondering what the fuck did he just eat?

  • dont hate playa hata

  • lol, nig

  • Kinda like Elaine on Seinfeld

  • now that's a man.

  • Thank you for your service to our country Colonel Moak! Enjoy your retirement!!

  • thats to bad then...!

  • They CUT the footage because shortly after a colony of maggots spilled out of the pound cake...

  • Really cool.  Thank you, Colonel.

  • This was awesome. Congrats to the Colonel for his service to our Nation!

  • That was a P-38 can opener he used... You got one with every box of C-rations... I still cary mine on my key chain..

  • you guys show the scene with him on the toilet shitting his mind out

  • thought actually

  • the only way i would be in the army if i was a major right away after bootcamp...but that cant happen so i will never be in the army....to bad

  • Yeah, you really come off as a scholar.

  • oky you guys. Im gonna say this once it's spelt Iraq not Irak. oky. look it up.

  • watch this military video

    /watch?v=crctzwCxED4

  • Why do you knobs have to twist everything in your comments..... Its only a fucking cake not a political statement...!!!! You know who you are...!!!! Knobs..!!

  • FUCK this tingtang chinese motherfucker, may be trampled by a heard of whatever the fuck is in china and die slowly :D. This is limited to only this fuck and other fucks who have such hatred...I'm in no way racist

  • Iraq* nice spelling dipshit

  • Its Irak, nice ignorance.

  • after the us army messed up their country you guys want to mess up the country's name,lol.

  • nice one dumbass

  • dude I wasn't talking to you

  • lol this isn't the whole video...after putting it in his mouth, he staggered back a few steps (he was faking).

  • did he fuckin open the can with a dog tag? damn!

  • No, he's not so bright. Look at it again, he used little can opener - I have the same on my keyring. Very useful ;-)

  • he fuckin did not

  • he opened it with a small can opener

  • Lol. I love it. China doesn't even have real communism.

    In a war they would lose horribly as well. The advancements of our weapons technology compared to China is an astronomical difference.

  • just don't underestimate the rest of the world, look at the vietnam, irak and other wars... :-)

  • Lol we never had a real war with them. Vietnam was us sticking it where we don't belong and so is Iraq. We would have won if it didn't get so much negative publicity, but then again there was no point. In an actual war as of this very moment. We would win. Because of technological warfare advancements and allies around the world.

  • I wouldn't really say it was the US sticking its nose into other nations affairs. It was more of the US being dragged into a war by the French. What made it difficult and long lasting was that we didn't have a full picture. It was sold like Korea, a civil war to change to system into communism and the south disagreed. However, it was the French who wanted to regain a colony. Nothing noble like saving South Vietnamese.

    Also I think we would have difficulty verse Russia, China, or the CW.

  • HOOAH!!!!!

  • he died of food poisoning shortly afterwards

  • What country are you from?

  • seems like the can preserved the cake very well.

  • Wow o_o he ate that! I love them ration food @_@ so delicious

  • wow thats kinda funny.

  • Ok,why don't you move to Iraq,and tell all the people Al-queda raped,beat and murdered that,you fuck.Or come to Philly and say that.Trust me,you'll regret it^_^

  • holy crap!! and then he ran to the latrine with an uncontrollable bout of constipation, YES, constipation. That stuff is made to stay in your system and preserve your body for later identification. You can eat 3 MREs a day and only shit twice a week. Maybe the general figured he could collect a little extra disability money if he got injured LOD on his last day.

  • That colonel, along with any other serviceman or woman, is worth a lot fucking more than you. Just by virtue of them working for a living places them far and above you. Stupid ignorant fucking foreigner.

  • soooo thats happening

  • Sienfeld already did this

  • Search "Arthur Comes Out" on yotube or check out our channel. We just released a hilarious video. Subscribe yo

  • Another nigger who thinks he's leet. It's almost the first of the month!

    BTW I'm not white

  • why do u even have to go that far?

    wuts the point?

  • ur a douche bag :}

  • Thanks friend!

  • congrats

  • Back in 1971 I ate some battle rations possible K ration that were made in 1948 everything stood up well except the bread ration which was hard and crumbled to dust.

  • so,did he died after that?

  • I duno.. Did you lived?

  • did he die.... not died.. and I doubt it 'you say dowt but spell doubt , amazing is the language English shameful is the American grasp of it.

  • And by that logic, shameful is yours.

  • Amazing is the language English shameful is you're too ignorant to think all Americans speak like him.

  • Colonel, as you know, we used to give out gold watches and lvish dinner parties upon retirement. But with the economy the way it is, we've had to cut back.

    But hey, we got some weird dude in a kilt to use a sword to hack out a pice of 40-yesr-old canned cake from Vietnam rations.

    Yeah .. soo .. HAPPY RETIREMENT!!

  • you took risks in vietnam, why not take another risk with pound cake.you have mettle.

  • ew thats gross.....

  • You don't like white people?

  • this is great.thank you for serving our country so proudly!!!!!!!

  • those old MRE's and old metal can rations can really last for hundreds of years becausethey are air tight, so that cake probably tasted as good as the day they made it..no joke.

  • watch this military video

    /watch?v=crctzwCxED4

  • thanks for your service colonel

  • FAKE ! LOL!

  • It's real. That shit's nasty, though.
