Prepare-aphernalia: Tactical Sammich!

Thank Think Geek for this latest in disaster kit deliciousness. The Tactical Sammich is designed to help geeks survive the zombie apocalypse, but of course it would be useful in other disasters as well.

Like a Hot Pocket that doesn't need a freezer or a microwave, the Tactical Sammich comes in two flavors: Pepperoni and Honey BBQ Beef. (Sorry, fellow vegetarians.)


I've seen some amazing "Prepare-aphernalia" but today's takes the cake. Oooh, I wonder if they have a cake sammich!
