Trick or......yuck

Real, yes I said real, Scorpions encased in "mouth watering" candy. You get 4 for $12 bucks. I guess they're for people who hate children? More grossness HERE.

one time in college we had gotten tequila pops that had a worm in 'em....no one would eat 'em cuz who would want to lick a worm? ew!

Yuk. I'm still on that candy site, I can't belive all the good stuff they have.

I remember these! I first heard about them around 1995. They had worms in them then.

People will eat the craziest things. I know a guy who ordered a drink in Thailand and it came with a shriveled-up dead snake's head in the cup for "garnish". Ewww!

'an edible scorpion'....really??

I saw these at a Butterfly Conservatory gift shop a few years ago. I guess it was the novelty insect thing. I was grossed out by the eating insect idea. Then I thought about it later and really, shrimp and lobster - which I love - kinda look like huge insects.

I have on of those in a drawer some where. Also when I was in China a few years ago I was walking through a market and they had big bowls of scorpians for sale.
All alive and moving around. You could even get "scorpian on a stick". My tour guide said lots of people love to eat them but it was not something she would ever eat. I agree with her!
