Whether you call them the Citizens for Constitutional Freedom, Y’all Queda, or Vanilla ISIS, the armed group of anti-government protestors in Burns, Ore. is hungry—and asking for snacks.

Over the weekend, a protest over the prison sentence of two Oregon ranchers convicted of arson escalated into the seizure of a federal building. Initially, the demonstration focused on the sentencing of ranchers Dwight and Steve Hammond—but on Saturday, Ammon and Ryan Bundy rallied a splinter group of protestors into seizing a federal building at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge.

While supporters might be content to send the militia Chex Mix and fight-the-power bars, a growing group of Reddit users are taking the invite as a golden opportunity to ship not-so-caring care packages.

Reddit user AmeliaPondPandorica couldn’t choose just one item, so she compiled a list of items designed to give Bundy’s gang the perfect sleepover experience—including sparkly nail polish, a “Little Spa Party” birthday box, a “stress relief” aromatherapy kit, “Yeast Is a Beast” women’s health supplements, Taylor Swift’s “Wonderstruck” perfume, and tendon-relieving pedicure socks.

3. How are they supposed to get snacks?

Isn't the building surrounded?

Take over a building with guns and wonder why nobody is sending food.

4. They asked for deliveries to be sent to General Mail for them

at the Burns Post Office.

I don't know what their plan is from there. Do they think the P.O. will bring them a Special Delivery?

10. They claim to be going into town for supplies

Which makes me wonder why they expect people to send them snacks, but I digress: if these assholes really WERE going into town, why aren't the authorities simply capturing them while they wait to check out?
