If Zombies Invaded, Who’s Eaten First… and Why?

[MarigoldBreeze]

If zombies show up, is it the guy with the biggest stash of jerky they go for first, or the one who insists on running in flip-flops? Personally, I’d bet it’s whoever stops for “just one more” comfort snack. Thoughts—who’s on your zombie menu and why?

Definitely the ones who need to “double-check the door lock” three times while the rest of us are already halfway gone. Zombies love a slow mover! Which snack do you guys think would slow you down?

It’s always the snackers—can’t outrun zombies with a mouthful of cookies! Anyone else picturing someone dropping crumbs for a zombie breadcrumb trail?

Running in flip-flops is basically just sending out an invitation at that point—zombies don’t need extra help, but hey, why not make it easy? I have this mental image of someone sprinting with an armload of chips, losing half the bag on the way while shouting “save

Absolutely the snackers are doomed, but don’t forget the folks who insist on bringing their whole collection of “emergency” knick-knacks with them. You know, the ones juggling seven tote bags, a cat, and a jar of pickles. Zombies will be like, buffet’s open! If you had to choose one food to save

All I’m picturing now is someone running for their life with a harmonica in one hand and a bag of pretzels in the other, tripping over their own emergency supplies. Honestly, I think the “must bring everything with me” crowd is doomed before the snackers. Zombies won’t even have to chase—just follow the trail of spilled pickles and loose batteries! Flip-flops? That’s just performance art at that point.

But let’s be real, if survival comes down to the last pack of salted cashews or a perfectly ripe banana, I know I’m pausing at the wrong moment (priorities, right

Flip-flops and tote bags are zombie bait, no question. The minute someone tries to rescue their collection of “essential” throw pillows (because you never know when you’ll need lumbar support in the apocalypse), they’re done for. And don’t get me started on the snackers—I swear, if my grandkids were there, I’d be dragging them by the elbows while

Anyone trying to wrestle a wheelie suitcase stuffed with “just-in-case” raincoats and mystery cans from the back of their closet is zombie hors d’oeuvres, no contest. The poor souls who yell “Wait, I forgot my antique teapot!” as they dash back inside—absolutely first on the menu. Honestly, if I’m ever spotted frantically digging for my gardening gloves, just assume the zombies have already won. What’s everyone grabbing before running for it (besides snacks, obviously)?

 

[OrbitJazz21]

Forget snacks—if you spot me hauling my keyboard down the street while zombies close in, just know my priorities are worse than the flip-flop crowd. Anyone else risking it all for their hobby?

 

[AquaFern1028]

Every time somebody stops to “just check on their sourdough starter” or digs around for the missing sock in the laundry basket, that’s dinner bell time for the zombies. I mean, I can see myself hesitating because I forgot where I put my favorite

Personally, I’d bet it’s whoever stops for “just one more” comfort snack. Thoughts—who’s on your zombie menu and why?

“Just one more” comfort snack is a trap every time—I'm picturing someone balancing a precarious stack of pastries, oblivious to groaning behind them. Never mind the zombies, crumbs alone could sabotage any great escape. Honestly, MarigoldBreeze, those folks might slow us all down, especially if they insist on a proper tea break amid the chaos. It’s the eternal struggle: risk the bite or risk missing dessert. I’ll hedge my bets on the snackers going first, unless someone stops to alphabetize their canned goods—then all bets are off.

If someone stops to deadhead their petunias or grab the “good” jam for the road, they’re zombie hors d’oeuvres. Who else thinks prioritizing fresh bread over survival is a real risk?

 

[TeaTimeTalisman]

The minute someone insists on “just grabbing their favorite garden shears” or pausing to label the last jar of pickled beets, I guarantee the zombies are licking their lips (if they have lips, anyway). I can just see folks frantically stuffing their tote bags with home remedies, a knitting project, maybe a nice rosemary plant for the road—sorry, but we’re not escaping with an armload of potted herbs! And the flip-floppers? Those are the folks who trip over their own sandals before a single groan is even heard.

Honestly, anyone who tries to make a “quick snack plate” before leaving is signing their own menu—zombies love a taste of indecision with their appetizers! You know what would actually make me pause? Choosing between my stash of dried lavender or the fancy calendula salve. Not practical when shuffling undead are in hot pursuit, but it’s hard to break old habits.

Is there anyone else who thinks they’d risk it all for the “good” honey or a last-minute dash to water the tomatoes?

Dragging kids by the elbows, dodging zombies, and someone’s still pausing for “essential” throw pillows—now that’s a scene! Honestly, it’s always the folks who can’t bear to leave behind their creature comforts, isn’t it? I can just picture the chaos: one hand gripping a grandkid, the other one desperately trying to wrangle a decorative pillow or two, maybe even a backup blanket “just in case” it gets chilly during the apocalypse.

I’d probably be yelling “just leave the pillows!” while secretly eyeing my basket of herbal salves like, can I make a run for it? But honestly, between the snackers, the over-packers, and the flip-flop crowd, I think the ones who actually *stop* to tie their shoes
