These guys were in the mall last week actually. I skipped it, not so much of the bugs, but more because they looked like they were really going to push to sell me something lol
That something is their economist magazine.
Yes I can see now as per OP’s deal. I was just doing a quick walk by and not familiar with the magazine.
I've never been so happy to miss a giveaway.
profile photo checks out
They all have insects in the actual food. (there's a mealworm, a grasshopper and 2 others I can't remember)
Of course, I lost my appetite on my morning commute completely.
Call me a traditionalist or out of touch.
But I feel that bugs should only be eaten on a dare whilst traveling in an Asian country.
Call me traditional but I wouldn't eat bugs with ice cream, it's like putting protein like chicken in your ice cream!
People like chocolate bunnies. So i bought a bunny and skinned it. Cooked it and chilled it. Coated with chocolate and donated to church titled Chocolate bunny. I think they enjoy sweet sweet protein?
Only four more years to go before soylent green flavoured ice cream is available
Why the hell did they ruin good bugs by putting them with icecream?
do it for the 'gram!
I don't know what's so special about this. My local takeaway has been offering roaches noodle and fly sandwich for ages
Don't go the Grylloblattids ones or they might bite back

Kinda reminds me of that poor bugger who swallowed a slug on a dare and ended up in a coma for a year with rat encephalitis. Is now in a wheelchair for life.
They are at Martin Place in Sydney today also.
Tried them like 6 months ago, weird texture and some you dont even know there are bugs!
Wouldnt do it again purely for the "ewww" factor hahahaThey were doing something similar at a raceday for 'healthy' kids meals. As well as Fish that looked like fries and Fries that looked like fish. WTF. Just serve good wholesome food. Stop getting fancy.
Had this a year or two ago when The Economist were doing bug waffles at Southern Cross, MEL. The cricket was really crunchy, can't remember what the other bug was (maybe just a worm?) but it went down easier.
I saw Free Ice Cream Flinders St Station and was going to complain that Adelaide always misses out on these giveaways.
Then I saw;
And that's OK, you can keep it.
Enjoy!
