This is an actual sign I saw on the side of a gas pump I used today. Why didn’t I ever think of doing something like this?! It seems like something I would have enjoyed having around when I was a kid. Then again, I think I’m more impressed with the ad campaign itself (and 76 seems to have blitzkrieged Seattle with banners and billboards recently).

I wouldn’t be surprised if half of these bugs had Twitter accounts, too.

Recently, my friend Michelle had come to visit and help me with some video reviews. While she was here, she decided that WE needed to eat chocolate covered grasshoppers. I wasn’t too sure about this – and still am not! However, what you see is what happened, and both of our reactions.

Michelle’s verdict is that they were kind of tasty, and not “buggy”. I still wasn’t too sure, I mean seriously – THEY ARE BUGS! However, I resigned myself, and ate one. She’s right, it wasn’t horrible. It’s not an experience I’m likely to repeat in this lifetime, but it wasn’t half bad.

Have you ever eaten chocolate covered bugs – or anything else that would be considered to be “odd” by most people? What was it, and did you like it?
