Vic DiBitetto isn’t panicking. He’s got his bread and milk.

The New Jersey-based comedian’s frantic quest for bread and milk amid a snowstorm is a longstanding YouTube hit. The script is simple, DiBitetto looking around with alarm at the falling flakes, muttering, “Bread and milk! … They said snow! … Bread and milk!”

But that was 2013, and 17 million viewers later, DiBitetto is a storm pro. He even did a sequel that shows him out in a storm, stuffing bread into his mouth and guzzling from a carton of skim. This was his advice yesterday:

“Just hunker down, whatever the hell that means, watch the Patriots win and don’t go out. Be safe and be careful and get your bread and milk.”

He still marvels at the bizarre phenomenon that inspired his shtick.

“You go to the store and all the bread and milk is gone, it’s insane and all the shelves are empty,” he said. “People see a snowflake and for some reason they think it’s the snowpocalypse.”

He admitted that ahead of this storm, “I did get the bread and milk, but I’m just staying home, the roads are going to be real bad.”

But he added, “What’s with all this bread and milk– I would rather have beer and pretzels.”
