    Need any powdered milk?

    I bought two of the huge pouches before shit went totally nuts.

    I just recently started seeing it on the shelves again.

    Not sure how long it keeps. (I think you told me how to store it long term once before)

    Nope, don't need it.
    Rules are written in the stone,
    Break the rules and you get no bones,
    all you get is ridicule, laughter,
    and a trip to the house of pain.

    Never used the stuff in my life.
    Bought it because I eat LOT of cereal and otherwise drink milk regularly.
    Probably should buy a small box and try it to see if I can even stand to consume it.
    Then I can decide if I want to live through the apocalypse without milk, or just end it all.

    You'll probably want to add just a touch of sugar, or maybe vanilla when you mix it up.

    Next 6 months could be fun.

    Hope nobody bought a bunch of hand sanitizer looking to make a buck because there's so much of that shit on the shelves at Walmart now we can't give it away.

    Yes, but the reliable name brands that existed before the Wu-Tang Flu still seem hard to find.

    This has been a warm-up for the main event. Post-election violence will be off the charts, so will sales of who-knows-what.

    True. I haven't seen any Germ-X in a long time. I got two large bottles of the "Advanced" with the 70ish % alcohol way back early on.
    Last I've seen it.

    I think we have Purell now mostly. Initially the bottles said that the ingredients were "Made in China".
    The next batch that came in said something like "Made of US and globally sourced materials". LOL

    Hand sanitized was the number one item people came looking for initially. It just sits there now.

    Clorox/Lysol wipes and Lysol spray are the things people are still buying like crazy.
    The urgency to buy most everything else has tapered off.

    Oh, and 91% alcohol is very hard to come by - we get in 70% pretty often, but I can go a week or three before I see "the good stuff" - and I look for it when I work.
