Sorry, I know it’s bleak, but bear with me for a minute.
Somehow, you’ve survived the disaster. You emerge from the wreckage to find almost everything has been wiped out. But then, among the darkness, comes a glimmer of hope – a vault, full to the brim with Oreos, has survived. There will be joy on Earth again.

Of course, it’s unlikely an asteroid will strike Earth any time soon – scientists tend to be able to give us a heads-up about that kind of thing – but if a disastrous event like that should ever occur it’s good to know that some of the world’s most precious creations will be safe.
The idea for an Oreo vault was inspired by Twitter user Olivia Gordon, who asked the all-important question: If an asteroid hits Earth, who will save the Oreos?
Olivia was referring to asteroid 2018VP1, which actually ended up zipping by Earth yesterday, November 2, without collision, but it’s better to be safe than sorry!
