^ I used the nuke emoticon...LOL

I see there were some older threads on this. I guess we never know when Lil' Kim is going to ride one of his ICBM's,  (BM= Bowel Movement), over here to the upper midwest.

Ahh, the ultimate in fear based advertising. LOL

If lil' kim does ride an ICBM up the midwest's tailpipe, 72 hours of food isn't going to make a difference, unless it comes with iodine tablets.  Love these "prepper junior" commercials though.  World ending?  It's all good.  Let's just sit down at the dining room table for a delicious candlelight dinner.  Pass the potatoes, kid.

Oh, I love the nice clean bowls and silverware and even placemats (!!!), of all things,  (along with the glass of nuke-orange drink - Tang, maybe?) all nicely laid out in the dining room...right in front of the window...as if, post-disaster,  the crazed, hungry, desperate neighbors or the roving bands of zombies out there aren't going to storm the house, crash through the windows and take your Wise food.  I venture to guess that if I were in a disaster situation, I might not so blatantly advertise that my family was enjoying a nice assortment of MREs (just add water...if you happen to have access to any clean water post-disaster, that is).  While Mom is dutifully dishing out the chow,  Dad really should be standing guard with the trusty sidearm that ends all arguments...but they aren't showing that aspect of survival in this ad.

If you're that worried about a disaster (or blizzard or power outage), chances are you have a generator.  If you have a generator, you can at least microwave stuff.  And wouldn't such "prepared-for-disasters" people already have 3 days worth of food in the house?  Hell, I don't worry about such things, and I can probably get by for a few weeks with what I have in the house right now.

I think what most disaster conscious folk do is stock up on canned food, and bottled water. Maybe a Sterno or propane fueled camp stove.

My mom bought me a propane camp stove and several small bottles of propane back in 2004 after that miserable hurricane season we endured. Still haven't used it.

A few months ago when Irma hit us, about two days prior, I braved the massive hoards and crowds at the supermarket, and purchased several days worth of canned food, crackers, bread etc, etc.

Took me weeks after the storm was long gone to finish it all off. Actually, I still have a can of Hormel chilli and a couple of foil pouches of tuna I haven't gotten to yet.

The one question I have about that Wise 72 hour survival kit is, let's say you've also stocked up on plenty of clean, potable drinking water. If your power is out and you don't have a generator or a camping stove, how are you supposed to heat the water to mix with the various pasta and other dishes that require mixing with hot water? Build a fire in the back yard out of busted up furniture?

Everything those kits include, can be purchased at any grocery store for Pete's sake.

Fear mongering for profit is all this is.

They're just trying to capitalize on the whole prepper thing that's in fashion these days.  They don't care about the details, only that you have the food necessary to carry on the tradition of a Sunday family dinner.  Perhaps somewhere in the fine print, they have something like "Only food is included.  Food preparation utensils not included".  Otherwise, I know who I'm going to sue when I can't prepare my apocalypse food.

I have one of those little camping stoves too. Even during the worst winter storms, they have the roads cleared in hours.  I don't worry too much about finding food.

Hopefully all the lawyers will be the first ones to be wiped out in whatever apocalypse occurs.

If worse comes to worse, you can just go ice fishing in the canal behind your house.

Some assbag, several years ago, fired up his auger (that had no muffler) at 6:00 on a Sunday morning.
I went out there and had a word with him. Other neighbors have reported them for pissing in public. The cops came out. All of the creature comforts of home?  A place they don't want to be.

Jimbo, is probably sorry he talked about the channel behind our house.

This icehole smells like fish!

Nahhhhh. I'm not sorry.

How often does one get to chat about fishy-smelling iceholes???

I can't find it, but the Wise commercials here all talk about ISIS. Really? Do people really think ISIS is going to take over our country? I hate that fear mongering stuff.
