NiceTeal, who had managed to keep their brand while everyone lost theirs, had stored large amounts of food underground over the years. This had significant impacts on humanity, as there was more hunger in poor countries which did not have to say anything geopolitically.

But now a critical point was met and NiceTeal spoke out to the world about a critical thing:

"Scientists have found out that the CO2 in the Air has been rapidly decreasing over time as we stored so much food in our underground vaults, which will cause a massive winter that eventually will freeze humanity off this planet. The only way to solve this were to burn all that food, but we have predicted that food will be rather valuable in the future and thus are legally obliged to get all the food that we have noted you still have.", this was not the message that NiceTeal spoke to the people, this was the truth.

Niceteal spoke to the people: "Scientists have found out that the CO2 in the Air has been rapidly decreasing over time from natural causes. This will increase the harshness of winters and thus we have decided to make a big vault for rationing and keeping all of you safe. This is also why we bought all that food lately, spiking the prices further. Don't worry, nobody is going to starve, so feel free to donate more to our vault.", the people were not so easily placated, but naysayers were in the minority, also nobody donated food and they all hoarded their food.

Eventually a family went to the NiceTeal food vault and demanded a ration, which they intended to add to their hoard. NiceTeal saw that the population had reached the predicted state earlier than expected and made another declaration: "The coming winter will be apocalyptic. The scientists previously seen as idiots were right. That is why we hoarded the food. And no you can not get it, because it is for generations to come. And no don't even think about raiding our vaults, even with all the nuclear weaponry (which is a thing again) in the world you could not get to it. We have built these bunkers to be basically indestructable.", the public mood turned sour when the first nuke hitting the bunker did no visible damage. Millions in the blast region were killed during the fallout of the nuking, but that was not the main topic after a day.

People had started changing their diets. There was a large rise in a new trend called 'end of the world party', which looked like following:

people invited all of their friends and family to a big party in which spaghetti with meatsauce and other meals were prepared despite the general recommendation being that meals in the near future should only consist of easily spoiling things.

Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.

Well the meat would spoil, but the spaghetti and canned tomatoes would have last a while. The end of the world parties became a hit on the internet and grew wilder and bigger. There was a new trend in which way too much food was made, and then people went around to gift others that were hungry the food in heartwarming scenes.

Sometimes the rest was given to cute pets too. Not all were this reckless.

There were a cautious few, hiding their food and profiting off the parties. Going off the amount of newly pregnant women, there would be a lot of mouths to feed in the future.

The first party people had run out of food, joining the other parties as guests which eventually reached a critical point in which the last big party happened, almost every human on earth (which is spherical again) took part, there were a few deaths from people that refused to donate their hidden stashes of food to the party.

Later in the party, hard core partiers had run out of meat, spaghetti, canned tomatoes and also their carnivorous pets were hungry now.

It was time to show that nobody would have to go hungry, that was the spirit of the party. Nobody would have to worry as a real party dude was all about finding food in hidden areas, qualifying them to be very good in finding new food sources.

Soon after, the smell of fresh meat filled the nostrils of the fellow partiers and they were drawn to the grill, where the party seemed to have reignited again.

Before that, a big feeding of the pets would be held. All the pets got a nice chunk of meat to eat and everyone was happy that there was a hidden non-pet meat source which had been untapped so far.

It could not have been the slaughter houses, nor any industrial meat as that had been all taken by NiceTeal, but nobody questioned a good steak.

Nobody but the meatball faction.

Yes a cruel war broke out, people died and got turned into steaks or meatballs in the next two days and everyone was arguing which one was the better faction.

Eventually the last human on earth had eaten the last food, ritually sacrificing themselves to create a steak meal. He could have eaten the meatballs, but he was a steaker through and through.

NiceTeal never found that idiot that hacked their declaration platform, causing the end of the world within not even a week.
