Would love to have been a fly on the wall at the marketing meeting that come up with this one.
A locust meeting?
They're sure generating a lot of buzz.
Was there swarms getting the freebies?
The chocolate bars taste also stings a bit.
Their persistence in promoting alternative protein sources bugs me out.
Wonder if it tastes as good as the ice-cream.
Nah nothing can beat dessicated cockroach.
On this day, the zombie apocalypse took over
just out of interest - how many people would seriously consider eating insects if it were a viable option (hygienic, affordable and readily available)? Personally I have no issue with it and have eaten insects more out of curiosity, during my travels in Asia
You forgot the number 1 priority - taste.
Lobsters used to be as disgusting as insects. Give it time.
Lime and chilli crickets are delicious, but way too expensive to have all the time. Once people get used to the idea and they become widely available then I'd keep them in the house as a staple snack.
I had some crickets in Asia and I found them quite tasty. Nice nutty flavour, but legs/wings do get caught in teeth.
So does popcorn, man that stuff is the devil
I'm game to try these things, but as yet I can't say I really enjoy them - the bitter flavour and crunchy texture put me off. Akin to the vertebrae in sardines.
Bah, humbug…
Are we being place at the end of the train unknowingly on Snowpiercer? What if the rich people are laughing at us for eating insect ice cream and chocolate willingly?
Pity I'm not in town today :(
Not even if they pay me to eat it.
These PR stunts bug me
