Cookbook author and food influencer Jeffrey Eisner (aka @pressureluckcooking) shared a video of him picking up the bucket while on a trip to his local Costco, and the online crowd went wild. His post has now gotten 1.2 million views and over 51,000 likes.
Though Eisner was a bit taken aback by the concept, many viewers weren't.
«These are similar to MRE's. (Military 'meal-ready-to-eat'),» one wrote in the comments. «As a US Air Force Vet & a Fire Dept Emergency Manager, I have these, MREs & water in a can that has a 100-year shelf life. It will be drinkable long after I'm gone.»
Over on Reddit, a user noted that «Costco has sold these or a variation of them as long as I've lived in WA. It's not about being apocalypse ready as much as being earthquake ready.»
Practically speaking, one student figured it was quite a cost-effective idea: «I mean, with this inflation, I just may go buy those for regular life while finishing school.»
While Eisner’s Costco had the 132-servings size in stock, the full 150-servings size at $80 includes:

The Summer Olympics are here, and for the ninth time, Ralph Lauren has dressed the U.S. competitors in his All-American designs, including jeans, a navy blazer with white and blue piping that’s emblazoned with the iconic Polo logo, a blue and white striped shirt, and a navy knit tie for a timeless—and truly American—look.

There may be no French cheese more familiar to Americans than brie, also appropriately known as the “Queen of Cheese.” Its popularity can be credited to its versatility, its visually appealing look when plated, the delightful way it oozes appetizingly when sliced, or even its charming name—it’s a lot more fun to say than, roquefort (though gouda is almost as entertaining).
Movies and TV shows have inspired interior design choices for a long time. Who doesn’t want their home to look like a Nancy Meyers film come to life? Wes Anderson’s playful and colorful film sets have inspired people to bring that iconic, quirky look home. And I’m sure purple living rooms have become more commonplace thanks to Friends.
