Uh, we’re missing beer, pizza, salsa, chips, s’mores and chocolate poptarts, ice cream (probably eat this first, but I’m not your dad, do whatever) and kool-aid.

I would add cat food. Probably personal preference. Maybe if you have a cat too.

Most people don't have real stocks of any of this stuff. Do you really stock pile honey? Because I can tell you most people don't.

If tea and coffee isn’t in your top ten...

Honey

Why honey? I mean, the differences between honey and something like high fructose corn syrup are pretty negligible... and you also have the risk of stockpiling botulism.

I'd just go for canned sugar.

It is expensive but... and im no expert nor have I tried it but I hear it's a good antibiotic to put on wounds, BUT... then again you could just get antibiotics for that purpose, I rekon it's just nice having something that is dual purpose?

But I can’t make my “Emergency French Toast” without bread, eggs and milk ;-)

Oil. Canned or pouch fish.

Personally, I would say dried fruit and jams instead of canned fruit. They are more nutrient dense and have a wider range of uses.
