SHTF... years later, what is your "twinkie?"
In the movie Zombieland, Woody Harrelson is constantly on the search for a twinkie. Something about the twinkie reminding him of a better time, kind of represents happiness I guess.
Zombieland truck scene, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeS6DvyLScE Years after a SHTF, society collapsed and you survived. What would be your "twinkie"? Second part of the question, do you have a stash or stock pile of this in your home? My "twinkie" would be Dr. Pepper. I try to keep a stock pile, but I can't stop drinking them

It's of things.
Pepsi (the stuff with real cane sugar, not the HFCS crap) Good scotch Vanilla ice cream Blue raspberry/cherry snow cones. The list could go on...and on...and on.

If I had to choose, I guess it would be good scotch. The I could drink everything else away.
Fortunately I can make my own music, and if I had to bug out, I'd take my horn with me! And charge others ammo, food, water and silver/gold for a performance.

I once read a western short story about a honest man who who went through great trials, tribulations and traveled a long distance just to eventually track down the men that had stolen his smoked ham. it wasn't just about revenge, it was about justice. (and let's face it, he really wanted that ham. )
I thought to myself ..."bacon will do that to you. if I was on his trial by jury, I would never convict him of killing those men.) so I'm going with bacon, ham or fried barbecue ribs. which unike the Pepsi and Dr Pepper, I can make myself, given the time and ingredients.

Beat me to it!
If you have the ability to make ice cream, then you can also make almost any other food item. The quest to make ice itself was a major plot point of the Harrison Ford movie "The Mosquito Coast". |

Mine-coffee. I know it is a renewable but we don't have the right climate to grow it and would be very scarce.
My GF's-P*ssy Products (our term) to include those flushable wet wipes and tampons. Watching The Walking Dead she is constantly grossed out at how nasty things must be down there.

I suppose you could eat your wife and children, but doesn't seem very tasty.
Just kidding. I suppose based on my question that is probably the best answer yet. I had just assumed they survived with me and ignored them as an option, but can't take anything for granted.

I think you misunderstood the message of the twinkie... the post is about what will you be "searching" for unless you lost your family and you will be searching for them the whole time. |

Most people here would benefit from spending time in a third world to find out what really is important to them. I think it would benefit them much better than a comedy zombie movie. Perhaps not. |

You did answer the original question and extended it to include what truly makes you happy. Can an inanimate object truly bring you happiness? Quote:
In KevinB's original post he also mentioned, his dogs and a great book to better comply with the spirit of the question. He decided to extend his answer beyond the purpose of my original question. Quote:
After all of the posts I have read on SHTF. I have rarely seen someone mention including things in their preps that make them happy. Morale can have a big effect on your survival.

Having lived overseas, some of the things we really coveted at various times were "real" cheese, favorite candy bars, ranch dressing packets, and...Dr. Pepper. Also traditional things that were hard to get such as pumpkin pie filling. Anyone who knew how to make tortillas from scratch could name their price.
