A possible ploy to get us to buy milk and bread?

Is Sam Champion a stockholder in the Wonder Bread Company? Or is this for real? I say we get 3" tops....but if my snow predictions are anything like my NFL predictions.....we won't see the light of day until Wednesday!

Yeah I hate when my running out of bread and milk happens to coincide with a winter storm warning when the masses flood the supermarket to deplete the supply of staples. It is definitely the panic effect here in NC, a flurry and everyone stocks up on can goods enough to last them for three months.
