Costco Offers ‘Emergency Food Bucket’ Designed to Last 25 Years

Costco is now selling an emergency dinner kit called the “apocalypse bucket” which contains 150 freeze-dried and dehydrated meal servings that last for 25 years. The bucket, priced at $79.99, provides a total of 25,280 calories with a variety of meal options such as teriyaki rice, tomato basil soup, pasta Alfredo, and more. The product is designed to provide readiness in the face of uncertainty and helps maintain a sense of normalcy and comfort during challenging times. The bucket went viral after a cookbook author shared a video, with some social media users questioning if Costco knows something about a possible apocalypse. Some raised concerns about the need for fresh water to prepare the meals in case of a real apocalypse. While some criticized the long shelf life and chemical content of the meals, others found them handy for outdoor activities like camping. The buckets are available in stores at lower prices than online, but delivery can take 10 to 15 business days. Overall, the “apocalypse bucket” has spurred discussion about emergency preparedness and survival kits among social media users.
