Doomsday Dinners: Costco Sells ‘Apocalypse Bucket’ With Food That Lasts 25 Years
20th July 2024
It’s the end of the world as we know it, and I feed fine — because Costco has an emergency dinner kit, dubbed “the apocalypse bucket” online, that lasts 25 years.
The Readywise Emergency Food Bucket, which boasts 150 freeze-dried and dehydrated meal servings, has caused a stir on social media. With an online price tag of $79.99, the bucket boasts that it’s more than just food in its product description — it says it provides “readiness in the face of uncertainty.”
The bucket features 80 entrees and sides, 30 breakfast servings and 40 drink servings that just need water to prepare, for a total of 25,280 calories. The meal options range from teriyaki rice, tomato basil soup and pasta Alfredo to cheesy macaroni and apple cinnamon cereal.
And, crucially for those preparing for an apocalypse, the bucket lasts up to 25 years on the shelf.
Just in case Biden gets re-elected. In my town, you get 132 servings for $70. That’s a little over five weeks. Where else can you get five weeks of food for $70?
