On January 18, Admiral Rob Bauer (right), a Dutch naval officer who chairs the NATO military committee said that the West should prepare for all-out war with Russia within the next 20 years! He urged emergency preparedness – and his warning came as NATO were set to launch their biggest military exercises in decades.
Three days later, one influencer who is a popular survivalist TikToker, Krystal Christensen (left) bought into this alarmist announcement and shared a video on Costco’s bulk-sized emergency food offerings that store meals for about a month and a half – and which went viral with 4.3 million views!
Christensen (@charminglyfrugal) showed off the survival-savvy Ready Wise brand emergency food kit that provides 132 pasta meals for just $63.99 before cutting over to more items like Mountain House freeze dried ice cream sandwiches that sell in six-packs for $9.97.
“It is quite expensive but I’m gonna pick one up because if s–t hits the fan, I’d rather be more comfortable on a day that’s a bummer”, she declared
Apparently, many commenters became panicky and one user asked, “What do they know that we don’t?”
However, rows of emergency food bundles have been business as usual at Cosco for years.
The members-only store even began selling a year’s worth of canned and non-perishable food – priced at $6,000 and fit for a family of four – in 2018.
“Enjoy the comfort in knowing you have the essential foods your family will need to survive an emergency or natural disaster!” the big-box store wrote on its packaging at the time.
Christensen had also shown off emergency supplies at Costco’s rival Sam’s Club along with Sportsman’s Warehouse.
In another same-day video, Christensen even replayed Bauer’s concerns, adding her own ominous warning:
“You need to start preparing now”.
