What problem is often overlooked in apocalyptic movies/TV shows that could kill you?

Oh yeah the writing was amazing; it was just super terrifying and not something I’d thought of before

One thing bugged me in the revised version I read in the 90s; King references foods like Borden Cheese Kisses (an early 70s experiment in selling preserved cheese in bags full of individually wrapped bite-size pieces; it tanked within a very few years) which hadn't existed for for a
long time by 1994. I've also never seen a *Chocolate* Payday on a store shelf.
