Y2K Stash
Back in 1999 I thought it prudent to set aside a bit of food. Not because I thought the world was going to end, but in case pre-millennial tension got out of hand and people who did think the world was going to end made a rush on the supermarkets, driving up prices and causing some short-term shortages.
Needless to say nothing of the sort happened, and I forgot about my Y2K stash until mid 2006 when I went to move the filing cabinet I'd hidden it in, at which point I remembered it and gazed upon the contents in fascinated horror.
So here it it. Swelled cans, crumbling pasta, and out of code rice that looked perfectly edible.
After taking photos I sealed it all in a cardboard box, drew biohazard symbols on it, and threw it into a skip :)
