Wasp crackers are creating a buzz

There were a few guys and us female waitresses in the kitchen waiting for the wedding reception to begin and we would start to carry the food out on large trays to each table. One of the cooks looked out into the dining hall and saw someone he didn't like so he put his cigarette ashes in the Italian wedding soup and he and the other male cooks spit into the soup which was the first item we were to carry into the guests.
I hated that so much that they did that. I complained to the owner of the catering company and found out that one of the cooks was his son so I didn't last long at that job.

Huge pet peeve of mine. Anyway, I have a fear of any kind of bees, hornets, wasps, yellow jackets, etc. It was caused by a traumatic event that happened to me when I was very little and it involved my friends, me and a hornet's nest! It wasn't nice.. Nobody could pay me enough money to eat that cookie!!!

Interesting that the link to the article says the crackers have about six wasps each -- the one in the photo sure has more than that.
I could be persuaded to try one with six wasps in it, I think. How bad can it be?

Who in the world would come up with an idea like this? If I made a list of 1000 things to put in cookies I don't think that wasps would make the list. Even 10,000.

But bugs! Never would eat them. (not knowingly) wouldn't eat something handed to me with the "dirty nails" either.. :)ewwwwww
Fig newtons though??? Goes to show, you learn something new every day...
