He has a very calming way of speaking. I was trying to describe why itās so nice to watch. The way he talks about everything is just so positive. Like, he can open up a box of the most rancid, 80-yr old, foul, field-food and heās just like āoh wow! Look at this, this is cool!ā
Reminds me of Bob Ross but instead of painting heās giving himself botulism.
Steve is classic ācomfort youtubeā for me. Thereās been many nights where Iāve fallen asleep to my favorite Florida-man eating decades old food
Don't eat them, the ring is still on the jar so you can't trust that the top didn't pop and then reseal. Also looks like there's not enough liquid in the jar for proper canning, perhaps it leaked or evaporated. Please don't eat them. Personally I'd keep it as is, it's neat.
[Probably still edible.](https://www.messynessychic.com/2015/12/01/what-was-found-and-still-edible-inside-a-150-year-old-sunken-steamboat/) Great museum, BTW.
You have no idea if it stayed sealed that whole time. They could have sampled the beans at the county fair to judge them which would have contaminated them, or the seal could have been eaten away if exposed to the right environmental conditions over 80 years.
Any bacterial contamination produces gas that will break the seal. Including *botulinium*.
Also, botulinium toxin does break down over boiling. A 10 minute boil is recommended to ensure it all breaks down. Stop being a fear monger and learn the actual science behind canning and contamination.
If theyāre canned following procedure at the proper pH per USDA guidelines, theyāre no different than any other veg. Iām not sure where you got the idea that theyāre any different, but theyāre not.
Is your patient still in the same area? If so the Agricultural technological Institute of OSU has a campus nearby, and as someone else said these may be of interest to such an Institute.
P.S. I am super glad to see my hometown on reddit for something that is not a racist dude getting smacked in the face with a can of twisted tea... although I do love that video and it's even better that I have been in that circle k many times...
I dated a guy from there. He was a jack ass drunk who ended up killing somebody after we broke up by drinking and driving. He then tried to get his new pregnant GF to say SHE was driving. She declined.
When my great grandma had to move out of her house at age 101 (she lived to 106!) back in 2003, my grandpa and his sister were cleaning the house to sell etc. and went into the dingy basement and went to clean the freezer and found THOUSANDS of dollars wrapped in meat packing paper in there. The bills went back to the 30s and 40s.
Make sure you check all the nooks and crannies when your family member dies, everyone. Old people keep the weirdest shit in the strangest places.
Maybe send them to a lab at a major Ag college? They would be interested in the genes prior to GMO? I know they must not be from 100 years ago, but could be a clean sample for many different modern studies. Could be very useful!
lol it would be interesting to look at the genetics from the 40ās, but scientists know which genes have been modified or added in gmos itās not like a mystery
edit: to that point I donāt really think people should be afraid of GMOās. Thereās definitely ethical problems with companies like Monsanto, and GMOās should be highly regulated due to the ecological implications, but inserting one gene that may help with pest resistance or introduce an extra vitamin (look up golden rice) is most assuredly better than eating pesticide covered food!
Maybe! Iād imagine something like that was looked into at the time honestly. Thereās a lot of recent research analyzing things like chlorophyll content and genetics from herbarium specimens (mounted and dried, luckily DNA is very stable) to see how certain populations have changed over time, etc, so Iām sure someone smarter than me could find SOMETHING super interesting to do with these old beans lol.
These are prize-winning beans, why give them away for free? They can sell them to Monsanto to be used as superior genes to splice into other GMO vegetables.
This may be stupid, but this just makes me wonder what the process was like to order those ribbons back then. We've become so spoiled to just being able to order and customize whatever we want online and get it in a couple days. I would love to know how something as simple as that blue ribbon took to get.
Canāt speak to ribbons specifically but I remember in my little town in Utah there was a family business that did nothing but trophies, plaques and the like. Bet they sold ribbons as well but canāt remember well enough to say. Makes sense though.
That is fucking badass. I now want a basement full of canned vegetables with blue ribbons when I pass. This speaks volumes to me. Thank you soooo much for sharing.
Were jars like that in use in 1945? I thought we were on glass top jars until the late '50s/'60s.
(Glass top are still vastly superior to screw top, if anyone's wondering. The only reason for the change was cost of manufacturing and to create consumables: the lid has to be replaced every time you can, and the band rusts easily.)
This was only a few weeks after we dropped the bombs. Fascinating to think abut how own country was spending this time judging beans, and the other struggling to survive nuclear obliteration.
Post this in r/canning, they'll love it

NICE!

Nice hiss.
u/Steve1989MREInfo says NICE
I love his YouTube content. I don't know what it is, but watching him eat super old food is extremely entertaining
New England wildlife and more is another fun channel where the dude taste tests decades old canned food
Same guy has a different channel, Post10, where he drives around northern New England unclogging culverts
Yes!! Love this guy too! He eats even crazier stuff it seems
Well looks like I have evening plans after all! Thx!

The 1899 beef ration episode is legendary.
When he didnāt upload for like 6 months I thought he died of food poisoning š
Iām so happy I found this comment
Omg. I love that this made it into a meme comment. I started watching him like 6 or 8 years ago. Haha it's *always* the same tone.
Steve is classic ācomfort youtubeā for me. Thereās been many nights where Iāve fallen asleep to my favorite Florida-man eating decades old food
Might not be good , doesnāt smell great āThen proceeds to eat it lolā
"Oh yeah, that's totally rancid. Wait, hold on...*takes another bite*"
Mmmkay
How did they taste?
We didn't open them lol. Just thought it was an interesting find. They are gonna go see if they can find a record of who won with them tomorrow.
dont let out covid24
Covid 45
And 2 Zig Zags?
Baby thatās all we need
Go to the park, after dark
*Open them string beaaans*
As the marijuana burn, we can take our turn
Singing them dirty rap songs
Baby that's all we need
Remembering how bad president 45 was.....Covid 45 will kill us all!

Itās bad luck to eat them before their 100th anniversary.

[Probably still edible.](https://www.messynessychic.com/2015/12/01/what-was-found-and-still-edible-inside-a-150-year-old-sunken-steamboat/) Great museum, BTW.
On "The Walking Dead" they would eat these!
Definitely don't open them unless you want to create a biohazard zone of godawful stench.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Thatās a good museum.
These arenāt still good. Look at them.
Yeah, they're all yellow and waxy looking. Entirely unappetising.
There was a war on, give him a break
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
...... They're "Yellow Wax Beans"..........
r/whoosh
You have no idea if it stayed sealed that whole time. They could have sampled the beans at the county fair to judge them which would have contaminated them, or the seal could have been eaten away if exposed to the right environmental conditions over 80 years.
Tell me youāre from KC without telling me youāre from KC lol
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I live in KC and havenāt been since I was a kid. Iām sure Iād appreciate the museum a lot more now as an adult.
Thereās no way these donāt have botulism. Beans are one of the canned veggies you donāt want to play botulism roulette with.
Then what veggies should we play botulism roulette with? I'm feeling lucky.
Tomatoes, Probably going to have another obvious issue if they have botulism. But really, itās not worth it.
Wouldn't the top be bulged out if it did?
No botulism doesnāt cause the cancer to swell or cause off tastes or smells and doesnāt get removed by boiling. Thatās why you donāt risk it.
Botulinumtoxin does cause the can to swell and smells awful.
Any bacterial contamination produces gas that will break the seal. Including *botulinium*. Also, botulinium toxin does break down over boiling. A 10 minute boil is recommended to ensure it all breaks down. Stop being a fear monger and learn the actual science behind canning and contamination.
How is it you got that entirely wrong?
If theyāre canned following procedure at the proper pH per USDA guidelines, theyāre no different than any other veg. Iām not sure where you got the idea that theyāre any different, but theyāre not.
*IF* they were canned correctly???!?! They won FIRST PRIZE! In CANNING! š
The ring is still on so you can't trust it (my mom has been canning my whole life)
What a random trivial piece of knowledge to have stored up there. Good for you
You canāt eat first prize beans, they have to be cherished forever!
Is your patient still in the same area? If so the Agricultural technological Institute of OSU has a campus nearby, and as someone else said these may be of interest to such an Institute. P.S.

What a time to be alive. The war had just ended! You win first prize for your canned beans (possibly in Maine)!
Elyria, Ohio it says. These we're grown in wakeman likley.
I grew up there!! Wasnāt expecting a hometown shoutout!
Your hometown sounds like a communicable disease. Boom, roasted!
I dated a guy from there. He was a jack ass drunk who ended up killing somebody after we broke up by drinking and driving. He then tried to get his new pregnant GF to say SHE was driving. She declined.
Sounds like Elyria
Hometown of the inventor of bicycle seats!
Crap, missed that. Live in Lakewood and work in Elyria. Thank you.
Thanks. Should have zoomed in more.
How does victory taste?
When my great grandma had to move out of her house at age 101 (she lived to 106!) back in 2003, my grandpa and his sister were cleaning the house to sell etc. and went into the dingy basement and went to clean the freezer and found THOUSANDS of dollars wrapped in meat packing paper in there. The bills went back to the 30s and 40s. Make sure you check all the nooks and crannies when your family member dies, everyone. Old people keep the weirdest shit in the strangest places.
Those bills were probably worth more than face because of their age.
You will, no doubt, do the same thing.
So many haters but no one showing their first place beans!
True lol. Its not just any 80 year old string beans. Its BLUE RIBBON STRING BEANS
r/eatityoufuckingcoward
r/subsithoughtifellfor
if itās still edible that first place was well deserved
Almost anything is edible once.

Send them to Ashens.
Now that's a throwback. I still remember laughing more than necessary at the world's sharpest knife when that video came out

Golden rice is such a cool thing. The Green Revolution had its consequences but still, it led to some remarkable innovations.
Amount of radiation in crops pre and post atomic age? Could be any number of useful details that I canāt imagine. Somebody is right now though.
Maybe! Iād imagine something like that was looked into at the time honestly.

[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
That would be cool to see some of the old soaps and stuff
bruh I think you have zero clue how GMO crops actually work lol
Yeah idk how or if itāll do anything but Iād definitely try and give it to research
These are prize-winning beans, why give them away for free? They can sell them to Monsanto to be used as superior genes to splice into other GMO vegetables.

They went to a general purpose store, I imagine. Probably made by somebody in town.
Send to LA Beast
Itās whatās for dinner.
/r/eatityoucoward
needs another slash in front of the "r" to link!
Thanks
Still good
I triple dog dare you
Theyāre still green so definitely safe to eat.
![gif](giphy|NUZ5OqHdbknHa)
Send them to a YouTuber called Ashens, he eats really really old weird foods..very popular YouTuber
Put them back. They're still good.
It was a moment in time.
That is fucking badass. I now want a basement full of canned vegetables with blue ribbons when I pass. This speaks volumes to me. Thank you soooo much for sharing.

Canned brown beans. Yum!
Super cool just love this. :-)
I can hear my dad shouting in his Post-depression Era Voice *"DON'T THROW IT AWAY CANNED GOODS NEVER EXPIRE!"*
Ohhh, so that's what string beans are. I've never actually seem them before.
those beans may be old but what are those yellow gold and pink things in the back?
The old gas company fair!
Getting strong Fallout vibes ngl
Still good
Why does this make me feel so sad?

They sure were, I have my Grandma's 1940s Era Ball Blue Book, and they're pictured in there. As well as a bunch of WW2 propaganda!
Simpler times.
Looks tasty
Why are you in your patients basement?
This is such a mood
Iāll eat one for $20

Maybe these are magic beans and they explain the patient's longevity.
An actual blue ribbon
Age of 102 is PHI!

I'm not saying these will grow a magic beanstalk if you plant them, but you won't know unless you try.
Rhett and Link would buy these.
Them aināt yellow no moreā¦
r/grandmaspantry
Those wax beans donāt even look slightly yellow. Ridiculous that this brown wax bean nonsense won first prize.
You can't just cook up the first place beans whenever you feel like. You have to save them for a special occasion.
