**Slarg232**

Meh, I live next to four grocery stores and work next to one of the biggest in the state.

I'm good

**Avatar 720**

Mmmm, differently coloured sawdust. Yummy.

**Slarg232**

I wonder what would happen if you were to add water?

Then you'd have soggy multicoloured sawdust.

I believe that's the main idea for preparation.

**greenskin lynn**

it would puff back into real food, as demonstarted by the loony tunes school of science

**Morathi's Darkest Sin**

Aye, also I thought we supposed to have dehydrated pizza's by now?

So many lies Back to the Future, so many lies.

**Monster Rain**

Food isn't nearly as important as water. If you've got water and a little bit of fat on you you can go for weeks without food, without water you're dead in days.

I'd be more concerned with stockpiling beverages. Its cheaper too!

Very true,we always keep several cases of bottled water on hand at Casa del Fitzz.

....Also,why bother with dehydrated foods,when you can have tasty MREs?

**Monster Rain**

Me, I'm stockpiling ice cream.

Tutti fething fruity!

" I can guarantee you...there ain't no tutti fething fruity ice cream in you future!!"

**KingCracker**

The problem is it wont be ice cream by then, more like tutti fruity slime

**Monster Rain**

Not if the Apocalypse was in the winter.

The real question here is whether or not Captain Spaulding would be someone you'd want barricaded in the mall with you in the instance of a Zombie Apocalypse. I say better in than out; he'd make a singularly frightening zombie.

**Necros**

Don't you need water to turn it into real food again? How much would a year's supply of bottled water cost? I gotta get ready for 2012.

Necros wrote:Don't you need water to turn it into real food again? How much would a year's supply of bottled water cost? I gotta get ready for 2012.

Just under $400 dollars.

**Mr Mystery**

now that's a marketing gimmick.

I mean, what if it doesn't live up to expectations, and lets your buyers down during an Apocalypse....what they going to do, sue you?

**A Black Ram**

I'll just eat all the zombie threads instead- I would have enough food for a lifetime!

You'd do much better munching on the "Am mah armies any goods" threads....there's enough of them to feed ten cities for a life time.

I could just buy a whole new WH40k army.

Heh. Toy soldiers vs. supplies for the apocalypse. I wonder what others would choose.

**Goliath**

Is it odd that this reminded me of a scooby doo episode where scoob and shaggy eat loads of dehydrated astronaut food, then drink a glass of water and swell up to about 3 metres wide?

They should make that a MythBuster's episode!

**Corpsesarefun**

Im stockpiling Pork 'N' Beans, Salisbury steak and Instamash... Seriously that stuff has so many preservatives it could survive a nuclear apocalypse and a few hundred years without going bad

er this one rather

**Grabzak Dirtyfighter**

My plan 'A' is to go straight to cannibalism. The way I figure it, once your starving, and you will eventually be starving, everyone will expect cannibalism and see you coming.

If you go straight to cannibalism, you will be fat, happy, and thriving when everyone else is too weak to fight me off.

My neighbor is screwed...

**KingCracker**

Believe me cannibalism is indeed in my list of how to survive. I wouldnt do it right away, Id see how the local wildlife handle the zombies. But if they are evil flesh eating monsters too, yea Im with you buddy, friendly people are dinner that night
