How you ever noticed how proud we are to purchase our food storage... only to one day become afraid of it?

HAPPYJELLYBEANS PRESENTS:
YOUR LDS FoOd StOrAgE, THEN AND NOW...
(By Bettyanne Bruin)


1. Instant non-fat dry milk:
Then: Instant non-fat dry milk was promptly and neatly stored in plastic containers, clumped against a wall.
Now: Inside containers, non-fat dry milk is so clumped together that no one knows what to do with it, except to use it for stepping stones out in the garden or chip it apart and sell as mini souvenir icebergs..

2. Wheat:
Then: Wheat was professionally stored in vacuum-packed bags, ready for grinding.
Now: The only thing wheat grinds is your shoes each time you step on your garage floor.

3. Water:
Then: Water was stored in well-sanitized, gallon-sized bottles.
Now: You must sanitize your hands after each time you move the bottles from house to house.

4. Dried fruit:
Then: Dried fruit was packed so neatly, it could have won ‘Best of Show” at an art competition.
Now: Dried fruit is so stuck together that even a sight-impaired person would be afraid to look at it.

5. Dried beef:
Then: Dried beef was packed nicely enough to be fit for a king.
Now: The only king that will eat this stuff is King, your pet Doberman.

6. Toilet paper:
Then: Paper was stacked so neatly that it was always comforting to know all your needs would be met.
Now: The only comforting thing to know now is that the garbage man is coming tomorrow to dispose of all of your squished, mildewy rolls.

7. Honey:
Then: This killer product was stored so well and so easily.
Now: Discovering your honey contains killer botulism, you pray you will easily remember who you gave this honey to for Christmas last year.

8. Legumes:
Then: Plentiful legumes were stored so well that they were ready to cook at a moments notice.
Now: Even after boiling them for three days straight, your legumes will still never soften.
