Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Generally, the scariest thing about amusement parks is not the haunted house or the gravity-defying roller coaster. It's the greasy, overpriced food - and when the funnel cakes are the only thing drawing people in, you know that there has to be a change. Six Flags is using some scary food as a way to attract customers to their parks during their Halloween Fright-Fest celebrations. The promotion entails eating a live Madagascar Hissing Cockroach in exchange for front-of-the-line passes at some parks, including Six Flags Great America, although at Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom, eating a roach will get you free admission.
To no one's surprise, PETA is not thrilled with this promotion, but some theme park visitors are loving it. "They do taste like chicken," said one visitor. An eight grader at Great America said "I've been here too many time, I just want to eat cockroaches."
You'll have to check with your nearest Six Flags to see if they're offering the deal. Six Flags representatives said that those with shellfish allergies might want to avoid the roaches, though there are no other problems associated with eating them.

Eating a hissing cockroach so you could puke it up on the first ride you go on at Six Flags doesn't sound like much fun for the cleaning crew for the park! Trust me, if I ever found one of those roaches in my house, I'd stomp it to oatmeal in a second without hesitation. But to voluntarily EAT one instead of spending some money for admission to an amusement park? Idontthinkso!
