for the next big tropical action, I'm really curious (as a food editor), what members believe are the absolute must have beverage and snack to weather a TS or 'Cane during an outage.

For me, it's icy Diet Dr. Pepper and instant nachos.

For Frances and Jeanne I stocked up on Coca Cola and plenty of chips and pretzels!

Dunkin Donuts coffee? When the power is out during a hurricane? How does that work ? haha....

Heehee, that's why I put it last. One time we had gotten some and when we got home the power went out. The hubby took out the trusty propane stove and we reheated what we had. It's not bad cold either.

For a snack, pretzels, and plenty of them.

Gotta have snacks for sure -- we made good use of cans of refried bean dip, cheese dip, etc. during Frances and Jean last season. My freezer is mostly full of ice right now just in case.

Oh that's not that hard! See you buy a bag of the beans (in case some of you don't know they let you do that) You grind them up before the storm hits. Once the power is out you boil some water out on the grill. While your waiting for the water to heat... you put filter with the coffee grounds in the filter holder (you have to have one of those coffee pots where the filter holder comes out of the machine.. you take the plastic cover part off the coffee pot and slap the filter holder on top... you slowly pour the hot water in (your a human coffee machine get it LOL ) and BAM hot DD coffee

not much of a snacker - but a coleman stove to cook the freezer stuff is definitely in order! However lots of CHOCOLATE never hurt anybody. . .

It's been a long time since I've been in a direct path of a hurricane, but remember being allowed to "occasionally" open the refrig after the electricity went off and my recollection of water being stored everywhere for various needs - drinking, potty flushing, washing up or whatever still haunts me. I can however vividly smell the coleman stove and 2 day old coffee when it came to a boil.

Pepsi with chocolate syrup, and cookies.

Junk food. Chips, chocolate pop-tarts, candy, spagettio-s, maybe a good margarita.

We have not had one here in so long....I dont know what we would snack on...I do know we would have a big ole BBQ just so we wouldnt lose all the meat in the freezer....its better all my neighbors ate it than to let it rot.

Wait....I don't get this one. I love Pepsi and I love chocolate syrup, but are you actually mixing them together?

I have a lot of Power Aid, Water, Chips, Oreos, and Beef Jerky!

Dixie - I'm with you - I'm a total Diet Dr. Pepper junkie, so that's a must. I also require icy cold vodka to go with my diet Sprite. As for food, Cheetos and beefaroni work for me (but not together LOL)

Oh yes! We used to call it a "chocolate coke" 100 years ago.
