http://www.foodandwine.com/articles/costco-food-kit If you're shopping at Costco, you're already planning on stocking up, so why not go all out? For just $999.99, the warehouse club offers a one-year "emergency food kit" that can get you through a mild apocalypse or just keep you from having to worry about groceries until October 2018. Seeing as the 6,200 Nutristore kit is on the bottom end of Costco's offerings, you have to assume someone must be buying them. Costco also sells similar one-year emergency food kits from brands like Thrive ($3,999.99) and Mountain House ($4,499.99). Or if you're willing to throw down about $6,000, Nutristore even has a 36,000-serving kit that promises a more substantial 2,000 calories per day for what is sure to be an already pretty hellish year. But then again, with a shelf-life of about two and a half decades, if these kits don't sell like hotcakes, Costco doesn't have to worry about its stock going bad anytime soon.
It's that Doomsday Prepper madness. Nutristore was always pushing it late night while people were hunkering down in their bunkers. There's always commercials for that high end food dehydrator thing, too. I'm more concerned about accidentally falling down a flight of stairs head first and snapping my neck than I am about making sure I have a gas mask and potassium iodide. I live too close to Indian Point to care. I'm not saying not to have basics like batteries, dried goods, canned goods, candles, and a couple of gallons of water (common sense), but some of these people become so obsessed that it becomes a WEIRD obsession. I was born after the Russian Invasion of the McCarthy era (I'm sure a bunch of people on here remember the nuclear bomb drills all too well), but if Chuck Heston wants to call us a bunch of bloody bastards and hit the button in St. Patrick's Cathedral, I lived a better than OK life. But it has to be Chuck Heston.
The right wing wingnuts built their bunkers, and then they elected the reason they're going to need them.
There's a bunker beneath the White House. That's how JFK, a Democrat, shuffled his whores around in the middle of the night. Clinton, getting a BJ on a desk, what a dumb dumb, that guy. Yes, I'm still a registered Democrat. I have been all of my life. I'm just too much of a lazy asshole to do anything about it.
Good thing to know for those guys who are still trying to eat their way through their millennium catastrophe supplies.
