Chances are you've heard about the end-of-the-world May 21 doomsday prediction, and these odd emergency foods are a silly take on the standard rations we're all instructed to keep on hand in case of a disaster. From canned bacon to sandwiches with a two-year shelf life, these rations are sure to last through Judgement Day 2011 and beyond. 
1. Tactical Bacon: This 9 oz. can of smoked, fully cooked bacon has a shelf life of over 10 years and contains about 18 servings of pork goodness. This emergency ration ensures even bacon addicts can make it through the May 21 doomsday.



2. Tactical Sammich: We covered the Tactical Sammich last week, but its two-year shelf life and calorie-conscious nature merits another mention. The Tactical Sammich comes in Pepperoni and Honey BBQ Beef flavors.



3. Candwich: The Candwich by Mark One Foods is a canned sandwich that comes in three flavors: Peanut Butter and Jelly Strawberry, Peanut Butter and Jelly Grape and BBQ Chicken. Each can contains a roll of bread and packets of filling so as to avoid soggy bread.



4. Bag of Mixed Bugs: Insects are packed with protein and are considered a delicacy in many cultures. If you simply can't decide which bug is your favorite snack, this bag of mixed bugs lets you try five: mole crickets, buffalo dung beetles, silkworms, big crickets and bamboo worms. They've been dehydrated and seasoned for your enjoyment.



5. Canned Whole Chicken: This Canned Whole Chicken from Sweet Sue looks and tastes exactly as you probably imagine it would, according to Tracy of I Hate My Message Board, who purchased and prepared this unusual fully-cooked fowl for her family.
