This reminds me of a former coworker. Our workplace had optional earthquake preparedness kit inspection, where you get a gift card or something for showing earthquake prep supplies (it was discontinued before I worked there) . The first year, this coworker had a serious set of supplies, canned food, water, etc. But the following years he started presenting fake supplies as a joke, the first year it was several bottles of vodka and wine, saying that "after society collapsed, we would be back to bartering and alcohol should be a shelf-stable, portable form of value". And this eventually worked up to the last year of the program where he just had a handful of rubber bands, paper clips, and a picture of MacGyver.
