| PROMPT March 6th What product would you stockpile if you found out it would never be sold again? (If the product you choose is perishable, imagine, for the purposes of this question, that the product would remain useable/edible forever.) What product would I stockpile? Now this is a great question. It would have to be something that I feel I absolutely could NOT live without. Something that would sustain life for me. Something that was so special and so dear I would probably kill for it (well, not really kill someone). But that also begs another question. What if I couldn't stockpile enough to last the remainder of my life? What would happen to me if I actually ran out of this special thing? Would I die a slow painful death? Would I go crazy? Would I absolutely sag and melt away? I don't know. So let me think...hmmm...for some reason this really has me flummoxed. In this current climate of coronavirus I think the product I would stockpile is water. Now I know I could always boil water but why not have a supply? And what if I had no way of boiling water? And heaven forbid what if the planet dried up? (I'm scaring myself here). Another product? Salt. I could go old school and even ancient times and preserve everything with it. But then again if I didn't have any water to flush out the salt then I would be bloated all the time. That would be uncomfortable. And finally? Sugar. Yes, definitely, sugar. That would keep me sweet. And if I stockpiled salt then I would always have something sweet and salty. That's my favorite combination of flavors. Honestly, my answers are silly. But the question makes me realize that some serious thought is needed on my part. This could be a very good exercise for me. |
