“My wife tells me she bought some last year and they dried out. How would you keep them moist? In a sealed container?”
Were they the Equate Wipes or some other brand? They are supposed to stay sealed until used.
Mine have been stored for months, maybe a year actually, and tomorrow (actually that would be today as it’s past midnight here), I’ll check mine and see if the wetness is still there. If it isn’t, I won’t freak out because I can add the wetness when I would use one in an emergency situation. I’d probably put water in a spray bottle so I could make one wet easily. (Note to self: buy another spray bottle.)
There’s probably no diplomatic way of saying this, so I’ll just say it, because some others may be wondering the same thing.
It’s troubling to not know how to objectively sort out these types of warnings because the sources may have vested interests. Or they may not. And people become jaded with repeated episodes of a boy crying wolf. Not all of the predictions of runaway inflation or other economic horrors come from people selling something, but a lot do. Same with other dire predictions. I heard these predictions of hyperinflation on Glenn Beck 2 or 3 years ago. He had it from a reliable source(which of course he couldn’t name) that it was “right around the corner.” Still hasn’t happened. I realize that being prepared to a certain extent is good in case of natural disasters, severe weather, etc. But you can see why people might be skeptical.
