A cricket in the iced coffee!

Parent Cafe

<p>Wife ordered a cup of iced coffee at a national chain fast food yesterday. After she had drunk about a third of it, she noticed there was something strange (It looks like a whisker) in it. She opened the lid, and noticed a dead cricket in it. I heard she brought the coffee to the manager and complained to her: “There is a cricket in my coffee. Yuck!” The manager was stunned. My wife left the fast food restaurant quickly in a bad mood, and promised to herself she will never go to that restaurant again in the future.</p>

<p>Afterwards, she wondered whether she would have an upset in her stomach. Luckily, it seems she is not sick. If it were a roach rather than a cricket, she would be even more upset. Isn’t it true that some people in some parts of the world eat crickets?! </p>

<p>Be careful when you drink anything. There may be something unexpected in there!</p>

<p>A little extra protein for her :).</p>

<p>Good thing it was a cricket and not a frog or she might have ended up croaking.</p>

<p>I work with someone who stopped at a burger king out of town on their way to a wedding and their mom had gotten a coffee. When she started drinking out of it she noticed a weird taste and it supposedly had bleach in it because they didnt clean the machine properly! She didn’t sue but she was pretty mad and got some free food.</p>

<p>I would rather have a cricket in my food than bleach, though ick to the cricket in the coffee.</p>

<p>Yes, in some parts of the world they do eat crickets and other bugs.</p>

<p>The only time I have ever eaten crickets (that I am aware of) was here in the USA soon after I moved here. I was at some sort of fair and they were giving out chocolate covered crickets. I ate one and asked what the crunchy stuff was - to my horror the response was: “a cricket”. I had rather naively assumed that a chocolate covered cricket was just a name and did not actually contain cricket parts, you know - like a chocolate turtle doesn’t actually have turtle bits in it!!</p>

<p>Maybe I should have been clued in by the fact that it was a pest control company handing out the chocolate.</p>

<p>I had chocolate covered ants(big one) from a Columbian friend, I think it’s a delicacy over there. I would have eating the whole jar if he would pay me $100. But no, he didn’t want me to win that bet.</p>

<p>If she enjoyed her cricket but would prefer it to be covered in chocolate she can order some here - </p>
