Say we have a Global Thermonuclear War and you’re one of the unlucky survivors. Or some Y2K-to-the-nth-degree problem with global computer networks that results in the collapse of civilization. Or the Rapture happens and you’re Left Behind[sup]TM[/sup] as the world goes to hell. Pick any scenario you like.
What consumer household products can’t you live without? What things are required for you just to get through the day, which you couldn’t make yourself or grow in the backyard?
Here’s my list:[ul][li]Paxil, without which I am a raving maniac[/li][li]Toilet paper - don’t imagine corncobs will be much fun[/li][li]Coal Tar medication for psoriasis, without which I will turn into the Elephant Man[/li][li]COFFEE[/li][li]Purina Cat Chow - imagine how tedious preparing catfood will be. Those boys eat way more than I do, and I hardly cook for myself.[/li][li]Sudafed, Claritin, Allegra - I like breathing[/li][li]Dental Floss[/li][/ul]

[li]Preserved prunes - just thinking about them makes my mouth water.[/li][li]BeneFit Bathina - I love the way this moisturiser feels and smells on my skin.[/li][li]Claratyne - I get killer hayfever in the Spring.[/li][li]Jellybellies[/li][li]Salt and vinegar chips[/li][/ul]

I’m quite impressed, I managed to decipher your acronym by myself. At first I thought it was the name of an Ewok but I perservered and got it.
I got my eyes fixed with lasers so thankfully no need to worry about that. P.S. That episode was on SciFi like last week.
Fast Food, mmmm, deadlyicious. I would go freaking nuts on nuts and berries with the occasional fish and foul and other assorted foods consumed as nature intended.
