What's Inside This Doomsday Dinner Bucket?

One Costco product is getting lots of attention. It's called the ReadyWise emergency food supply. However, shoppers are calling it the doomsday bucket. A video from cookbook author Jeffrey Eisner discovering the buckets is going viral. The bucket is packed with 150 servings and it costs $62. Eisner decided to make the pasta Alfredo. Inside Edition Producer Emma Keady gave the doomsday dish a try.

Forget the apocalypse. For that price that can just be groceries for the month.

[@TheDMChannelPerplexity]

True, that's actually very neat. $62 dollars for a month or more of meals for the family? Neato burrito. This feels like it could actually be very useful for lots of people across America right now.

The video said 150 servings, but the bucket says 132. At $63, that comes out to $0.47 a serving. IF each packet is 1 serving, that's pretty good. A lot of mouths can be fed for this.

[@joannewolfe5688]

You have to know what constitutes a "serving." Bet you would have to eat TWO servings to make an actual meal...unless you were a child.

[@FeeshCTRL]

@@lightfighter685 You can survive on a few spoon-fulls of peanut butter if you really had to, but that doesn't make it a sustaining meal. Even with the right serving sizes from the package you can still be malnourished. Also I find it funny that people STILL bring up America when it comes to weight. You understand that the US isn't even in the TOP 10 of most obese countries in the world, right? Think for yourself, not what you hear from others.
