3 Survival Foods for 3 Days

3 Survival Foods for 3 Days - A Keells Super competition

So today I was looking up about movie show times and ticket prices. Why? Oh come on, you already know, I don't have to blog about it again... oh wait I didn't blog it did I? OK later I will explain about Eri-chan and all... someday.

Anyway I came across the Keells Super Facebook page and they give away sometimes free tickets.
Today I found that they have a competition and are giving away 6 tickets. WOW I want them all, yes I will share, promise, or else a certain someone will rip me in two.
How it goes is that there are 10 items listed (in image form, no text of the names), from those 10 we must pick 3 items to survive on for 3 days while stranded on an island. We got to be a bit creative, and at the same time explain why we chose them. And I highly doubt there's any rum on that island to use.

So below, is my Entry, which details how I would survive for 3 days on 3 of their 10 listed items.
Trust me, I'm not good with these and maybe my info is a bit wrong but considering I'm one of the people out there who gets low to no pay, going to the movies for free is really one way to enjoy an evening with people. So if you feel I deserve a vote, Like my post/reply on the Facebook page. (HERE, this one...)



A number of the items listed would benefit anyone who needs to survive for 3 days - but lets face it, it could be more than 3 days if not for sea-turtles mate.
But since only 3 items can be picked, it's really hard to choose.

These are the 3 items I think that I could most benefit and survive with for around 3 days based on nutritious facts and how well they can be rationed and under the assumption its 2 nights but 3 full days. Provided the Others have not eaten any of my 3 items.

Fontana Orange Juice
★ To keep Hydrated, but 1 box/carton would last an estimated 3 days or less.
★ a source of Vitamin C
★ Protects against Inflammation, Improves Blood Pressure and Lowers Cholesterol (but not immediately)
★ also Includes Other Nutrients like potassium, thiamine, phosphorus, folate, vitamin B6 and flavonoids
¤ Not recommended if suffering from a Sore Throat. Seriously, it can be painful.

Happy Cow Cheese
★ Can last about 5 days or less since there's no fridge on this island.
★ 100g is about enough per serving.
★ Contains Vitamins A, B12 and D, has protein, a source of Calcium, Includes Phosphorus and Zinc.
㋛ I love cheese, I'd pray I catch some fresh fish, then try to make an open fire. "Grilled Fish Cheese on a stick". Sort of.
¤ It may finish sooner because it's Tasty.

SPC Baked Beans
★ Lasts an estimated 2-3 days if rationed/stored correctly (also depends on the can size).
★ You will feel Full for much longer.
★ High in protein, Low in fat, Rich in fiber
★ Can be eaten uncooked. Lasts less days if cooked.
¤ Not recommended for long term use due to amounts of sodium in canned baked beans - this may Vary by brand and type.
㋛ My least favorite of the selection unless I mix them with something I like, but it's a eat or die survival situation. Maybe I'd use the cheese with this...
¤ May cause some gassy noises, probable entertainment for the 3 days.

Why did I not pick any of the other items on the list?
You can ask me and find out later when I post up about it on my blog (after the competition). I do have good reasons why I wouldn't pick the others, although I like to pick some of the others, but then I feel I may only last a single day.
