People will want the bottle. I literally have a two cases of rum in my closet and over 20 cartons of a variety of light, menthol and full flavor cigs vaccum sealed in the garage. I dont smoke and like beer, not rum. Those are strategic commodities, enough to barter my way out of town if necessary or for a fuel gallons of go-juice (to use the Waterworld term for petrol). |
Genius! I think so.
BTW - What's your address? When SHTF, I'm coming to your place.
