Transcript:
Pig: What do you have there, Rat?
Rat: Emergency preparedness kit. It's so we can be ready for natural disasters and stuff.
Pig: What's in it?
Rat: Beer and hot dogs.
Pig: We're ready for anything.
The problem with beer is that it goes bad after awhile, so you have to constantly replace it with fresh. And, of course, you have to drink the old before it gets too stale. I think it stays fresh about, what, two days?
Umm, hotdogs? Wouldn’t that be sorta cannibalism for pig to devour hotdogs :P – Although he have not seem so beat up about the fate of his family earlier when they’ve been incorporated into the food-chain.
Beer is good until it gets skunky. Keep it cool and away from light and it will be okay for a long, long time. The freshness deal is just to keep stock moving, just like on a cattle drive. It has more flavor as it ages, which is good.

They seem likely to be ready for whatever the disaster is that is happening this coming Sunday and that everyone seems to be so excited about.

Yeah they’re in MRE’s… they call em “beef franks”. 4 dogs and that flat dehydrated bread for a bun. Probably the worst MRE I ate and I love hotdogs.

I hope the hot dogs are kosher, to spare Pig’s sensibilities.
Then again, that would be the first time Rat ever spared anyone’s sensibilities.

Had one of those once. Funny, though. Every morning it was empty. Gave up on it. :(
