Gotta go with A—the one about the CDC saying 60% of American homes don’t have enough food storage. That just *feels* like the kind of doom-and-gloom stat they’d release, and honestly, when I chat with neighbors about stocking up, a lot of folks admit they just keep enough for a week, maybe two if you count the odd can of soup hiding in the back of the pantry.

Anyone here ever actually met a teenager who labels their canned goods?
