a gigabyte of 8 inch floppy disks of the type seen in the 1983 movie "WarGames" would be enough to cover 1.2 football pitches, containing 852 copies of the image uncompressed, or 1 copy of Wargames in HD zipped across disks.

Soy milk doesn't require a lot of time to prepare - soak the beans overnight, grind them up, add water, boil it up for 15-20 mins.
