Wikipedia: Strategic Petroleum Reserve (United States)
The Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) is an emergency stockpile of petroleum maintained by the United States Department of Energy (DOE). It is the largest publicly known emergency supply in the world; its underground tanks in Louisiana and Texas have capacity for 714 million barrels (113,500,000 m3).

I need to appoint like a Secretary of State for Sugar. ‘Parlous’ doesn’t begin to describe the state of the Strategic Chocolate Reserve

The problem with a strategic chocolate reserve is that I will eat it all in one sitting

With so many consecutive chocolate deficits projected over the coming years, one imagines the need for a strategic chocolate reserve.

I forgot chocolate in my first couple of megashops, then I went back and got our family a Strategic Chocolate Reserve (6 boxes of 330 g of chocolate wafers).

I think everyone can get behind a strategic chocolate reserve, to eliminate our dependence on the Swiss.

Becca gets all disappointed when she finds out I’ve eaten all the chocolate, and I’m like: “It’s chocolate, that’s what happens, people eat it. There is no Strategic Chocolate Reserve.” I mean, maybe there should be, but I should not be given access to it.

To be fair, all this could be made up for by tapping into Belgium’s Strategic Chocolate Reserve and sending the goods to Ukraine to bolster morale via sugar high. Delicious, delicious sugar high.

We have the Strategic Petroleum Reserve or SPR, but do we have the Strategic Chocolate Reserve up and running yet?
