seriously this is in a Costco ad
"33,500 total servings is 378 #10 cans of food" blah blah :words: "more than 1400 calories day for four people for a year"

so many questions

is that really one can of whatever it is per family per day

wtf is in those cans

who the gently caress would ever buy this

Real good bet that poo poo is specifically sold for mormons

Mormons are required to keep a certain amount of emergency survival rationsnso they can survive after the second coming.

I think there's a couple other kook religions that do it too. Jehjovahs witnesses maybe? I don't remember

you can do the same with a much cheaper plastic bag. cans are only useful because you can heat them up and cook the insides after they are sealed. for dried products they are just pointless

The canning process is cheaper, especially since cans can be made much bigger than plastic retorts.

Also lastic can't take as much temperature during packing and dependong on conditions breaks down faster, resulting in shorter shelf-lifes overall
