Do we really need.... The Milk/Bread Rush?

Charlotte, NC just experienced snowmageddon.  To show you what we had to endure, I've included a picture right outside of the building I work in:

Yup, this is snowma-f*cking-geddon.

Notice the parking lot right next to my building?  These idiots didn't even come in today.  How could they?  They would've had to navigate this massive f*cking blizzard that decimated our fragile city.  What's worse, in preparation for this storm of biblical proportions, people went out and stocked up on goods.  Obviously, canned goods that can be eatent hot or cold, in the event they lose power, right?  Wrong.  Bread and f*cking milk.

First off, and I think most would agree - if I'm going to be trapped, the first item on my checklist is beer.  The next item might be real sustenance, but it certainly won't be bread and milk.  Maybe some canned chili, pizza, I don't know.  Seriously, whose survival depends on these items?  There was not a person on the face of this planet whose cause of death was lack of bread and milk.  Maybe a lack of food, that's one thing. -- All joking aside - let's end hunger.  That's my stance. -- When did this start?  I seriously feel like if it weren't already a thing, people wouldn't do it - at all.  Secondly, if you must get bread and milk, get peanut butter too!  That you can store in a pantry, and you'll look like you actually have a plan for both items.  I feel, if we added peanut butter to the equation, people would think: "Oh, they're going to eat a peanut butter sandwich, then wash it down with some milk." 

I understand, we're panicky by nature.  We've ran out of real problems, so we've got to over-prepare to maybe be trapped for a couple of days inside our homes.  But can we prepare properly?  Again, if you're going to stay home because of inclement weather, make sure you're getting hammered.  Alcohol, drugs, whatever.  At least then, you won't give a sh*t that you forgot to pick up milk and bread.  

Other than that, I have no feelings on this matter.
