Thread: I hate Ants

Ew. I would punch my sister in the face if she gave me a chocolate covered bumblebee and didn't tell me what it was.

I forgave her for that. The Hippie spouse? Working on it...

If I was ever going to try one, I definitely am not now. UGH.

i doubt they took the time to euthanize each little ant before covering them with chocolate....that would be costly.
my sister had a 3rd grade teacher who would bring a jar of ants (live) to class and dump them on a piece of bread with mayo on it......then smash the other piece of bread on top (all in front of the terrified youngsters)
then ......yeah right then and there....yuk!
can you imagine one of those gross mayo blobs in the corner of some elderly teachers mouth with a couple of ants struggling to get free stuck in it?
i gotta go puke now.....bye

Yeah, I wouldn't say that was edifying....

That's about all there was to them - no especial taste one way or 'tother. The idea of eating the bumblebees was a bit off-putting, though, and the chocolate wasn't that good either..

That's similar to what I ate. They were small chocolates like Hershey's kisses. But somebody told me what they were. That's why I only bit half so I could see how they looked inside.

I believe the same company offered chocolte-covered crickets. Or was it grasshoppers? They were larger pieces of chocolate than the ants were in.

That is the only reason I'd ever bite into one - to see what it looked like. If I could only do chemistry all over again, I'd probably ace the class. When I was 16, it was boring.
