Doomsday dinners: Costco sells 'apocalypse bucket' with food that lasts 25 years

• NBC News

It's the end of the world as we know it and I feed fine — because Costco has an emergency dinner kit, dubbed online as "the apocalypse bucket," that lasts 25 years.

The Readywise Emergency Food Bucket boasts 150 freeze-dried and dehydrated meal servings and has caused a stir on social media. With an online price tag of $79.99, the bucket's product description boasts that it's more than just food, it provides "readiness in the face of uncertainty." 

The bucket features 80 entrees and sides, 30 breakfast servings and 40 drink servings that just need water to prepare, for a total of 25,280 calories. The meal options range from teriyaki rice, tomato basil soup, pasta Alfredo, cheesy macaroni and apple cinnamon cereal. 

And, crucially for those preparing for an apocalypse, the bucket lasts up to 25 years on the shelf.
