As I understand it, the Costco food kit includes giant sized cans that contain 42 servings each. This is fine, if your family has 42 people in it. But if there are only 4 or 5, once the can is opened, the other 38 servings will go to waste without refrigeration, which in an apocalyptic scenario would be absent. Regular sized cans would be better in that situation.

My first thought when I saw the size of the cans. I always buy large quantities of smaller cans, just for that reason.

To me it shows that they’re not taking this seriously, but rather just trying to cater to people who are worried, but also don’t spend their Sunday mornings researching what they need to know (like some of us).
