In Alaska’s Far-Flung Villages, Happiness Is a Cake Mix

Traveling out here, where huge bones from bowhead whales litter the beach, takes a 90-minute jet ride north from Anchorage and another hour by small plane over the Bering Sea. In this vast, wild part of America, accessible only by water or air, there may not be plumbing or potable water, the local store may not carry perishables and people may have to rely on caribou or salmon or bearded seal meat to stay fed. But no matter where you go, you will always find a cake-mix cake.

Hi- I like how that woman in Barrow, AK gets free Prime. She orders her cake mixes through Amazon Prime because they are only $1.29, but there is no way they can ship it there on time, and so they give her credit towards her next bill for Prime.
