    I've seen the videos Creators posted about trying to live for 24 hours in a grocery store or places like Target. That got me thinking. How long COULD you survive in a grocery store? Whether you were locked in or it was your home base in a zombie apocalypse, how long would you be able to SURVIVE with that as your only source of sustenance? Today, I'm going to settle in and find out!

      She meet Evans best friend and 'survived together' had babies etc and when she finally started getting dementia regressed back to the time she loved Evan wandered off and ended up at the magic grocery store that no one else found zombies didn't break in, the roof didn't fail after 20-30 years of neglect. And Evan was never hurt or fell down and also didn't go stark raving mad....

    Fun fact: wet cat and dog food aren't disgusting to eat. They have almost no flavour as they have a high amount of grain in there. It's like...a little bit of meat, lots of grain.

      The shitty ones you shouldn't be feeding even to your pets are mostly filler. But the better ones with high meat content are most likely very different
