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.

Thanks to the Mormons, buckets like this are fairly common. I have one in case of earthquakes etc (live in central CA).

For $80 I would get one. We get hurricanes where I live and it wouldn’t be bad to have as a just in case.

Say 50 days worth of food, for $80.
To actually feed yourself for 25 years, you’d need 183 of them. Let’s call that 180.
About $15,000 of food.
It’s not prohibitive in price. But it would be a pain in the butt to keep 180 of those things around without things getting into them.
It’s a thing to have to tide you over a day or two in case of a tornado or similar. But it’s by far not something you could live off in an apocalypse.
And to be honest, if you’re going to pay $80 for them and expect them to last 25 years on the shelf unused, I would suspect that that’s just not going to be the case.

Is it me or is that an incredible deal? That’s like $0.50 per meal. Maybe someone can go on the air and ask for donations to feed the world’s hungry with that.

We have a couple buckets, I pull stuff out when we go backpacking, and if we lose power for an extended time it’s an option. Really, we have canned and other food to cycle through first. This is a good option if you don’t have a lot of space and want some safety.

I’m pretty sure in most doomsday scenarios the average person would either 1 die immediately or 2 not want to be left over. I’m fairly certain I’d hate to be alive knowing everyone else I loved is dead or dying slowly like myself and that all my hopes and dreams are completely annihilated.

This sounds like it’s some rage bait click article, but anyone who can experience a disaster should have one on hand in the same way you keep bandaids(medical supplies) and flashlights(or candles).
