And regardless, now that the vault is built, we shouldn’t have anything to worry about moving forward if a bigger one is ever on a crash course. Back in August, the official Twitter account for NASA Asteroid Watch posted that a “very small” asteroid-known as 2018VP1-had a 0.41 percent chance of entering Earth atmosphere the first week in November.Įven NASA pointed out this asteroid wouldn’t cause any threat since “it would disintegrate due to its extremely small size.” Still, Oreo apparently decided not to take any chances. Meanwhile, the whole scenario is based on a real, if very slim, threat. “As an added precaution, the Oreo packs are wrapped in mylar, which can withstand temperatures from -80 degrees to 300 degrees Fahrenheit and is impervious to chemical reactions, moisture and air, keeping the cookies fresh and protected for years to come,” Oreo announced. Whether you’ll be able to find some milk, well, that’s a different situation entirely. The cookie brand says this Oreo-focused facility holds just “the Oreo recipe and a large stockpile of cookies.”īut if all hell does break loose on our planet, know that you’ll always find the world’s best-selling cookies at the coordinates 78° 08’ 58.1” N, 16° 01’ 59.7” E. Bring on the apocalypse.Īnnounced last week, the Global Oreo Vault is-in the words of Oreo-“really real,” though it is significantly smaller than its seed counterpart. With that in mind, Oreo grabbed some land right down the road from the Svaldbard Global Seed Vault and built its own Global Oreo Vault. The cookie company is taking precautions against the Election Day Asteroid scheduled to graze Earth on November 2. This is great if you want fruits and vegetables or whatever, but what if you want cookies? Does the United States have a seed bank What is the biggest seed in the world What country owns Svalbard Did Oreo build a doomsday vault How do I choose a. The secure facility, built into the side of a mountain, holds over one million seed samples, offering hope that if all other existence of a crop is wiped out, a final backup will still be available. According to a tweet from the cookie maker, however, there is a coded lock on the door, ensuring the contents are saved for an apocalyptic event.Since 2008, the Svaldbard Global Seed Vault in Norway has served as one of the last lines of defense against the annihilation of plant life on Earth. Oreo has provided the coordinates of the vault, 78☀8’58.1″N, 16☀1’59.7″E, which places it near the Svalbard seed vault. Each cookie pack is wrapped in protective Mylar. In another post, Oreo explains that the vault also contains vials of powdered milk, which reportedly only need to have powdered snow added before being ready to have Oreos dunked in it. According to one post, “Each cookie pack is wrapped in protective Mylar which can keep our cookies safe from temperatures of -80☏ to 300☏.” These Emergency Oreo Rations are accompanied in the vault with vials of powdered milk, so that in the event of the apocalypse, you only have to add snow to be. Oreo explained the vault and how it’s protecting Oreos on its Twitter account. While it’s unlikely that the asteroid would even survive entering the atmosphere, Oreo apparently isn’t taking any chances. It is located above the permafrost line, placing it in the Arctic Circle.Īccording to Oreo’s video, the vault was also created specifically in regards to Asteroid 2018VP1, which has a slight chance of hitting Earth’s atmosphere on Nov.
The vault was a played at the Global Seed Vault in the Arctic which was designed to preserve the world’s botanical legacy in the event natural or man-made disasters strike.
According to the seed vault’s website, it is a storage facility for various seeds that has been designed and built to withstand both natural and manmade disasters. The company has uploaded a mockumentary-style video on YouTube on October 23, detailing how they have built a concrete doomsday vault in Norway to keep its cookies safe. In a video published on its YouTube page, Oreo says it was inspired by the Global Seed Vault in Svalbard, Norway. Now, the makers of Oreo have ensured that the popular snack will live past any possible asteroid strikes.
The threat of asteroids striking the Earth and causing a global catastrophe has inspired some groups to build bunkers to not only protect survivors but also to ensure the safety of certain plants and animals.
