Related: About this forumCostco's $90 27lb Bucket Of Mac N Cheese With 20 Year Shelf Life Sells Out
If were all about to wind up in an apocalyptic hellscape, at least Costco is making sure we wont starve (for awhile)we may even enjoy our long-lasting, vast quantities of food. On the heels of its near-seven-pound tub of Nutella, Costco now offers a 27-pound bucket of mac-and-cheese with a 20-year shelf life.
Inside the six-gallon bucket are 180 servings of mac-and-cheese, stored in separate individual pouches of noodles and cheese sauce. All this can be yours as a Costco member for under $100.
Or rather, could have been. Time reports that less than 24 hours after People announced the existence of said mac-and-cheese bucket, the item has sold out. Sure enough, it is listed as out of stock on Costcos all-important Emergency Kits & Supplies Section on its website. May we interest you instead in 60 servings of Mountain House Freeze Dried Breakfast Skillet or Lasagna With Meat Sauce for $160? You can also go for Mountain Houses 204-serving, 30-day Outdoor Adventure Meal kit for just under $500. Or, just stock up on those Nutella jars.

OP
The Jim Bakker show is basically the Home Shopping Network for paranoid end times worshippers.

backpacking a lot. Not always because it is on the expensive side, but it is very convenient for backpacking meals.

those ten gallon buckets of survival for a month food too. Lots of preppers out there. But then, given how things are shaking out right now, stocking up a little might not be a bad idea if it's within one's budget.

( kirklands version of Nutella and better ) which is more important than mac n cheese. If I am going to eventually starve I would much rather do it on hazelnut spread. 😂

... because stress/crisis eating one pound of mac 'n cheese per day is totally reasonable in my book.
