"Whenever you pop open this plastic cup of grape juice, with a bit of unleavened bread in a compartment at the bottom, do this in remembrance of me."
I'm all for convenience, people, but jeez, this borders on disrespect for the very thing being celebrated.
Note that, despite the headline below, this is not a Catholic communion kit. The link on the underlying page — which actually points to a different product — makes it clear this is distinctly not a Catholic product, but for denominations that (a) pass around the communion service down the pews in little racks, and (b) believe in grape juice, not wine.
Say what you will about the Episcopal Church, our congregation uses real bread and actual (if unfortunately sweet) wine. No plastic is involved. Yes, a bit more effort is involved than "Lunchables," but, um, it seems worth it.

I'm guessing these have can be stored longer than three days?
For 25 cents each, you get a product that, (the underlying web page specifies) has these attributes:
– Secure seal design virtually eliminates leakage and spillage
– One year shelf-life, no refrigeration needed
– Unused cups can be returned to storage for the next service
No need for an angel to roll open the door to your storage closet; these babies can last through three days, forty days, an entire Year AD.
