Lads, the Japanese government sends individuals quarantining at home free care packages. What would an Irish Gov package contain? What would you want it to contain?

  3. 145 bags of tayto (various flavours), 5 share bags of meanies, everything for multiple Irish breakfasts, koka noodles, tea bags and milk, a variety of chocolate bars, Coco pops (the real ones not these shite low sugar ones), Cadburys hot chocolate powder, a variety of cheese and meats for a mixed board, potato waffles

    (Note: this is my dream care package, not what would keep me alive. As you can see, I’ve an awful diet).

  6. I actually worked for some folks putties together care packages. We gave:

    Cereal
    Pasta
    Biscuits
    Tinned meat
    Soup
    Beans
    Toilet roll
    Washing supplies (dish soap, hand soap, shampoo, shower gel, etc.)
    Tea
    Coffee
    Dilute

  13. I would like it to contain this, you know because it would be cool to try. but we would probably get a bag of off brand crisps, a chocolate bar, two sausage roles and a bottle of water

  16. The government will have to have a few focus groups and brainstorm sessions at the taxpayers expense just to decide what brand of teabag to send out.

  18. They’d send a box of tissues, cold tea, some holy water and a flyer so you’ll remember them in the next election.

  20. A copy/paste letter about how you’re doing your part and maybe some left over iodine tablets from that time they told us we were gonna die of radiation.

  28. Not sure what would be in it, but no doubt that bureaucracy would result in the package arriving 5 days after quarantine ends.

  29. During the first few months of the first lockdown, my sister was approached by someone who worked in a creche where her 2 young kids were attending. She was offered a care package every week since she was a single mother to 2 under 4 years and only worked part time.

    I cant remember for the life of me what they were called but it was voluntary. She got a lot of stuff from May 2020 to Sept 2020. Cereal, coffee, tea, bread, meat, soup, pasta, rice, jars of sauce.

    You wouldn’t get anything from our government.

  31. If the government organised it, then it would be contacted out to Aramark or some other awful company and you would get: one potato, half a block of cheese, a small ziplock bag of pasta, tin of tomatoes, and a rotten apple.

    If Irish mammies organised it: flat 7up, lemsip, handful of package soups, kilo of potatoes, 4 tins of baked beans, 4 tins if fruit cocktail, 4 tins of rice pudding, multipack of tayto, box of tea bags, 6 litres of UHT milk, 2 sliced pan, bottle of peanut butter, and a giant bar of caburys.

  32. Easy, two bags of grass, 75 pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers … and also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of Budweiser, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.

  33. Imagine our lads in The Dail trying to co-ordinate something like this.

    The clowns couldn’t even order a printer properly.
