A Daytona Beach suntan lotion manufacturer said Wednesday that a large order he recently received from the Department of Defense may mean America is headed for war, according to Local 6 News.
Paul Burke, who is owner of Sun Fun Products, said that he got an requisition order Sept. 3, for 153,000 bottles of SPF 15 Native Tan sunscreen from the Department of Defense.
Burke said that he normally ships 30,000 bottles of sunscreen to the department twice a year.
He calls the order "strange," according to Local 6 News.
"I think they're getting ready to finish what we should have finished during Desert Storm," Burke said. "It looks like they're getting prepared for whatever to happen."
The U.S. Department of Defense reportedly said that the order for sunscreen doesn't indicate an immediate need, Local 6 News reported. The agency routinely purchases expendible items based on supply and demand.
Government officials are expected to pick up the order later this week, Local 6 News reported.
