Yup, just like the cicadas the company comes back every 17 years.

Those are delicious, they taste like original flavour Pringles.

Why can't people just leave the cicadas and nature alone? Why must people be greedy and eat everything they see?! PETA peta

No.

Oh great another virus waiting to happen🙄

Big NOPE. Yikes.

So why do we have to kill them too, we are such a parasite and have to do something to destroy everything on this planet, so sad!

Definitely looks like poop!! Don't care how many sprinkles you put on them.

Holy crap I thought it was a chocolate coated rat!!

Iā€™d rather not thank you.

So, instead of marveling at the wonder of nature, we decide to make a snack out of an insect that emerges only every 17 years to mate and then back underground. The ancient Greeks and Roman's respected these insects....(1)

No. No no no.

look like dead mice covered in chocolate or worse poop

China owned no doubt

No.

This is not as disgusting as the housing crisis, not even close.

I ate that before in China. It is actually very delicious and nutritious, very high in protein. Taste like nuts if nobody tells what you are having.

How about some chocolate covered dog 💩?

Ewwwwww. That is disgusting!!
