I saw this article on Wisebread – “Emergency food supplies for the lazy skinflint“. Costco is selling a 23lb bucket of emergency food supplies.

This is not a bucket in the KFC sense of the word. No, this is a 23lb monster called “Emergency Food Supply,” and it contains 275 servings in one container. And even better, it’s got a 20 year shelf life and is good for vegetarians, too.

Here’s the menu:

* 30 Servings – Potato Ba-kon
* 25 Servings – Corn Chowder
* 25 Servings – Ala King
* 25 Servings – Cacciatore
* 25 Servings – Western Stew
* 45 Servings – Whey Milk
* 25 Servings – Blueberry Pancakes
* 25 Servings – Barley Vegetable

Wisebread went ahead and did the math. This bucket would last a family of four about a month to get through. I wonder what it would be like if one person tried to eat this on their own? At $80, it’s kind of a bargain. Morgan Spurlock went on a 30 day all McDonald’s binge. I think someone should do the same for this monster. It would definitely be worthy of an indie documentary or proactive blogging journal.

I think I’d like to try some of the food contents in the bucket, but I dont know if I’d be up to my own challenge…

…maybe.
