Too bad they don't sell dehydrated water!
I'm holding out for the Limited Edition bacon-flavored pack.
yeah, yeah, make jokes. When all hell breaks lose and I'm sitting on 25 servings of potato soup you'll be sorry.
Give me death.
This is phase II of Obamacare. We all eat this crap and he raises taxes on public toilets.
If this is the same one that they have in their store, then it's not worth much for emergency food.
Meals needed to cook for 20-30 minutes. Let's see. My house and the local grocery stores are all gone due to some disaster, but I have facilities to cook this stuff for 30 minutes. It should be MRE stuff.
Imagine that!! With this we could live forever!!
getting in early for 2012... but what you gonna do after the 275 Servings?
#7 I guess youve never made a fire? Or are too ignorant to piece together a makeshift oven? Have fun when your mre rations run out during the zombie apocalypse.
#9, Hmmmnn.. I guess we'll all go back to Costco to buy more.
I'm buying 275 of these for the Zombies to keep the good & strong for some living flesh eating zombie rampaging!
Mmm that and a box of powdered wine and we got us some good post apocalyptic eating.
A hard core reviewer. Free toilet too!
"I bought 20 buckets of the e-food after I had tested it it in the Store. I am glad that I did, however, I consider it simply supplemental to other foods that I have such as vegetable seeds, rabbits, and other stored food. The texture is a bit grainy, but the taste is certainly above average for this type of product. It does leave a little after taste and tends to be bland. I went a period of time where all I ate was what was in the bucket. It was tiresome after only a few days, but doable, nevertheless. Beware that serving sizes average a little less than 200 calories each. I also like being able to use the buckets again for water storage, a toilet or simply general storage. Overall, this is a great value."
#7 No problem if you want MREs as long as you don't mind paying $1000 for the same amount of food. Let us know if you're going to be doing that soon. This is a tad cheaper and if you keep a 30 day supply of water and do like I do and keep 2 spare tanks for the grill full at all times like I do cooking is not a problem.
I figure that one of these will take care one one person for 2 months in a pinch. That's about 1000 calories a day. You'll lose weight but you'll live. If you supplement it with stored canned goods you'll be styling while the less prepared are hungry.
In for 2 more of these. That gives me three for an extended emergency.
This seems a lot like bulk dog food.
I don't know... world as you know it has ended. Enough dead carcass around to eat if you are not squeamish, assuming you aren't one of the carcass. You don't know who'll come by to kill you for fresh food. Chance that you'll be the only person alive until you go insane or decide it's time you should join everyone else....
On the other hand, a big earthquake hits, things crumble but people come to help, firemen, national guard, federal aid agents. Those who aren't saved are typically buried in rubble, or really already dead and don't know it. I don't think I'm missing out on too much. Sucks to be dead and have your neighbors go through your stuff and find rations and have a party at your house.
Just gotta keep thinking happy thoughts.
i read the reviews on costco's site... must have water and reliable heat source. water, well that's a given. but the heat source... lol, during an emergency? you have to stop to heat the food? MRE is the way to go. good idea though.
So, this is basically 275 packets of instant soup mix.
After you eat the soup you can use the foil pouches to make a hat so the government satellites can't read your brain waves.
