Cool. Sounds interesting to try. I was in Springfield IL last saturday and loved the lincoln presidential museum and all the other stuff like new salem. Could have went to the restaurant you go to when doing reviews but went to Cheddars instead. Contact me at sirdane1898@gmail sometime. Be nice to know someone in this state...

Just as a side note, I feel sorry that you had to try that. Still sound interesting, just not appealing.

LoL that was excellent at 11:06! You should give Spoony a call next and ask him to mail you some Scorpion Lollipops (^o^) YUMMY!
Reply to this
I live in AZ and I have seen scorpion lollipops at Fuzziwigs. What a wonderful choice for a candy! The creepiest fucking bug in the entire world contained within a sugary cocoon... I'll never think of lollipops the same way again.
Reply to this
That strawberry butterfly thing actually looks like it'd be better as something you could display somewhere than actually eat. It has both a prettiness factor along with the strange curiosity factor because it's supposed to be edible. lol
Reply to this
Thanks for sharing it. I really enjoyed it. Keep up the good work.
Reply to this
You are the Divine of internet critics.
Reply to this
Haha that's amazing.
The worm was probably a meal worm. Eating bugs doesn't particularly bother me much in concept - no more than eating fish or octopus, but yeah...quite a few of the 'edible' insects completely taste like shit so there's no point in doing it.
Reply to this
Wow you looked like a zombie getting his first taste of pus riddled flesh when eating the chocolate insect. Ouch even before tasting anything you were looking deathly pale and ill.
Maybe the cricket would have tasted better if you went for the crunchy more filling torso
Looks like this was a bad batch of products except for the butterfly lollipop eventhough it was in the center which would kill ones mood thinking about eating it by the time the butterfly part is reached.
Theres gotta be better chocolate insect condiments out there. I was expecting something a bit more thicker with a hefty dose of dark chocolate so the insect part would taste more like a crunchy gooey CRUNCH bar.
Thanks Cinema Snob your the GREATEST! Or as many a lass must have screamed in climatic passion YOUR THE KING! THE KING!

Bugs are extremely high in protein. In countries where food is in short supply, but bugs are plentiful, they are a major source of energy for the poor.
There is actually a whole industry developing around various insect recipies from Africa and South-East Asia.
Bug in the candy... I have no idea what the appeal is.
Reply to this
I've actually been curious about that for a long time now.I've heard that certain bugs, like grasshoppers, locusts and some spiders are good for you, and actually taste pretty good. Stir-fired crickets are actually supposed to taste like popcorn...for some reason. The whole candied insect thing is pretty much just a curiosity thing that these companies can market to westerners who aren't used to this type of thing. And since they're just produced as a novelty, they probably don't bother to make them very good (hence why that chocolate was atrocious).
Reply to this
I have done the bug eating thing too. I was thinking at the beginning of the video, "Don't do it, man! They taste like mud!". "Lawn" was a good analogy.
Reply to this
ugh. I would never eat those. It doesn't matter how much you sugar frost a bug, it's still a bug. I can understand someone eating bugs just to survive, when nothing else is available. But people actually seem to be into eating those, since there are different flavored bugs. ugh.
I pray for your soul Brad. I'm guessing this is just the tip of the iceberg, when it comes to weird shit.
Reply to this
I think the butterfly is really an edible grub with leaf wings.
I love watching your reactions to all of these incredible edible things
keep them coming!
Reply to this
It really speaks volumes that you're willing to go out of your comfort zone for this. I had to laugh at the reaction cause i remember some of my reactions to cockroaches and what not.
Anyway, good show man
Reply to this
Oh god, yuck! You're a brave man, Brad. I sincerely hope this is the shittiest-tasting stuff you ever have to try. Thank you!
Reply to this
Laro now theres a thought..tasty flavored feces cleaned and sterilized of all harmful germs to be yummy edible.
Its time to EAT SHIT AND LIVE! Just like in SALO.
Hmm and i wonder if there are any nice tasting extra large meaty roaches like the one in the live action anime ZERAM?
Reply to this
Goddamn you're brave. Bravo, sir!
Reply to this
Hey Brad,
Awesome episode
Oh, I haven't done a name suggestion yet, so how about: - "Brad Taste(s)" (in sted of Bad taste) or "Weird Taste" or "Dining with Brad"
Reply to this
i have been to Thailand ... and have eaten way to many bugs.
suck it up, Brad!
Reply to this
"Brad Tries Edible Insects", LOOOL, I laughed so hard without even watching the video. You've got to stop this madness Brad, soon enough you'll try the Pope's balls or something like that. Seriously though, funny shit!
Reply to this
You know the idea of you having some kind of weird food eating contest with LordKat seems much more feasible now.
Reply to this
oh I did enjoy that a lot but you know what you should do. you should tottaly brake or bite some of that strawberry butter fly off.
Reply to this
Wow...you are more of man than I, sir.
Reply to this
I guess the weirdest food I ever ate must have been a rabbit brain (quite tasty actually), a chicken's spinal nerve (tasty as well) and sprattus head (pretty damn disgusting). I've eaten pigeon meat and snails as well, but that's just regular French cuisine :-p
I would love to try some fried crickets or grasshoppers some day. I've heard it's a delicacy in Africa. Cream and onion just seems wrong, though :-p

LOL @ For the love of shit !!

There was a guy that temporarily joined our trail crew that would pick up and eat any bug he came across. Once, we pried a boulder loose and found these bright-orange ants that smelled like Lysol. So his natural inclination was to pick them up on his finger and lick them off. It was disgusting.
I don't get the edible insects thing, either. Yeah, there's tons of protein, but you know what else has tons of protein? Meat! Even tofu-burgers have gobs of protein. There's absolutely no reason to be eating insects, unless you're stranded out in the middle of Bumblefuck, Nowhere, with absolutely nothing else to eat, not even grass. D:
Reply to this
I don't normally bother with the non cinema snob. But I've actually eaten Chocolate covered ants. They are not nice. The Chocolate doesn't really cover the taste of dry insect and abdomen is now my least favourite thing.
But keep the good work!
Reply to this
I think the most common thing you hear about insects is how good they are for you... Isnt that was mom told kids about eating their veggies?
All and all not a bad one, I myself would like to try insects myself. But I think if you were to eat them, Id save it for people who have Cooked with them. ( like people from said countries)
But look at the bright side, Brad. At least it wasnt as bad as LordKat's experience with the Durian *shudder*
Reply to this
we had those chocolate cover bugs at one of my birthday party's as favors. we didnt tell anybody they were actually real the reactions were priceless, they actually didnt bother me until i got a cricket leg stuck it my teeth.
Reply to this
we past the bugs out at one of my partys for favors . we didnt say if they were real our not the reactions on peoples faces were priceless
Reply to this
I was going to eat some lunch and watch your latest video, but Goddamn this changed my mind about the eating part in a hurry. I steadily joke about these candies with my girlfriend, they were common where she was born and I cannot imagine being paid enough to eat one. I'll give you props for going to this extreme, I can't imagine anyway to top this - sliding from Mountain Dew to Crickets in like 4 or 5 episodes is a pretty downward spike!
Reply to this
My mother was in korea for a year, and ate a lot of food with bugs in the dish, and she actually enjoyed them quite a bit! She also did training in Texas, and there she ate Carmel covered grasshoppers and Chocolate covered ants. She says those were pretty gross, they didn't have a good consistency, they were still crunchy!
Then my little sister got a tequila flavored lollipop in Canada, and it had a scorpion in it. She ate it all, to my chagrin. And she loved it! I thin my family just likes eating bugs .___.
Reply to this
The worst aspect of this isn't that you had to eat a cricket, but that you didn't get to eat a cockroach! I could take one or two crickets, and even a chocolate covered worm, but I think a cockroach is the ultimate challenge of extreme insect eating. That and a tarantula, but that's a lot bigger. Maybe centipedes!
Reply to this
First off yay! Brad used my title of "Down the Hatch"....kinda. Well edible insects are more common down here i guess. I figured his negative reaction to the crickets was more on knowing he was eating a cricket. I happen to like the ones they sell at a local store down here that are covered in chile , lime and salt. But to each their own.
Also FYI while people do eat cricket, scorpion, and butterfly pops they are mostly just made to be a great conversation piece.
Reply to this
Yuck, insects.O_o
It's probably already been suggested, but... why don't you call it "Brad Taste"? So you still have "Bad Taste", but it's more subtle.XD

God Damn….I almost feel out of my chair laughing when you ate that “Roach Cock” chocolate candy. That was the funniest shit you have done in a long time!!!!

I remember seeing a guy on Ripley's Believe it or not, he ate those huge German Cockroaches, whole, and still alive.
He said they taste3d like bacon.
Reply to this
Nice choice of title. Short and sweet is sometimes the way to go.
Ack, I feel bad that you had to try the chocolate stuff, let alone cricket. I've always been curious of cricket, though; sour-cream-and-onion bug doesn't sound as bad. I wasn't aware they came in flavors.
In any case, I literally laughed out loud when you used the strawberry butterfly to wash down the chocobug and cricket. I wouldn't doubt the butterfly in the middle being the real thing, either. Strawberry butterfly... Hmm.
Reply to this
There is a market/restaurant here in Phoenix called Mini-Mercado Oaxaca where they sell chapulines - spiced crickets! I've never tried them before, but they're supposed to be good.
Reply to this
Great video. I'm surprised the word got out so fast though. You must have a large fanbase.
The best part was your reaction to the chocolate covered insect. I usually expect to hear something like, "it's not so bad for a bug." not that kind of visceral hatred.
Reply to this
At least we know that Brad doesn't like everything he tries!
Brad, I promise I will never get you anything that gross again! When I saw the crickets, there was the option of Sour Cream and Onion or BBQ, and I know you prefer SC&O, so I went that route.....the chocolate covered insects did actually say in the ingredients which bugs were in there....from the looks of what you ate, it was one of the worms or larva...the others were grasshoppers.
I didn't expect you to try these so soon....I know you have a lot of stuff to try!
Otherwise, I will have to admit, another great show.....I fell out of my chair at work laughing today....and even more people have learned about your site now
Reply to this
You can call the show "Acquired Taste", so it's not perceived as a negative show. Plus, you are acquiring things to taste, makes sense, huh?
Reply to this
damn, beat me to it
Reply to this
I have the "Crickets!" at the gift shop of a local amusement park. They also have salt and vinegar flavor and cheddar! Hooray!
Reply to this
You provided the best reactions possible to eating those insects, especially the alien impression from Mars Attacks! you gave after you ate the cricket. *ACK ACK ACK*
Reply to this
Awesome! Your reactions are priceless, Brad. I have a suggestion for a future episode. It's something I have seen at one of the local Chinese Buffets: Chicken Feet.
Reply to this
Poor Brad. Be praying that you don't have a response from some independent company in the Philippines with an offer of balut. If you do, be afraid, be VERY afraid!
Reply to this
Its not that bad. It tastes like chicken mixed with scrambled eggs. Also crunchy. You generally eat it bones and all. lol
Reply to this
oh god, I just Googled it... I'm speechless...
and utterly horrified
Reply to this
Look at the picture on Wikipedia if you really want to be horrified. No matter what it tastes like, just seeing a bird embryo on my plate is vomit enducing!
Reply to this
Poor Brad, who would eat stuff like this?!
Reply to this
Geez, I would never be able to bring myself to eat that shit!
So did you ever get to the center of that butterfly? I wonder what that tastes like.
Reply to this
The problem with eating insects that are made domestically is that nobody around here knows how to prepare them right. It just looks like they took dead bugs and covered them in chocolate and flavor powder. It sounds like you started off with a really bad brand for your first experience.
I would have recommanded that you started with cricket brittle for your first dive into the world of insect foods. You can't really see the crickets in the brittle so it makes it easier to eat and get used to the idea.
Stir fried grubs in bean sprouts and onions are also good. Frying them in oil is usually the best way to get out that "lawn" taste. The mud taste is a good sign that it wasn't cooked right.
Also you started on shelled insects, that exoskeleton crunch is not for insect eating virgin and can really weird people out. Grubs and larva are a little easier to get used to.
Though I doubt you'll get over this bad experience. The only reason I dont mind so much was that I was eased into it.
Oh well.
Reply to this
Most people don't seem to realize that what you feed the insects has a huge impact on how they taste. If you feed them just bran, that's what they're going to taste like. If you feed them lots of fruits and veggies (fresh, of course), they'll taste a lot better and will be more nutritious to boot.
Brad, might I suggest something for this show? Prairie oysters.
Reply to this
wow defiantly above and beyond brad : D
Reply to this
Those may have simply been low-quality products, believe it or not. After all, if the chocolate was terrible it wouldn't be surprising that the bugs themselves were days-old or something. Nevertheless, you've got guts trying such questionable candy for the sake of your viewing audience.
If you're ever going to eat bugs again, I suggest going for fried tarantulas. They are the Cambodian equivalent to french fries, and from what I hear they taste very similar to craw fish or lobster. There's even some high-class restaurants in the US that sell them as a delicacy. Then again, said restaurants tend to sell them at ridiculous prices...
Reply to this
I bought some grasshoppers and prepared them myself. They tasted wonderful. You only have to bake them in some olive oil along with some onions, garlic and some spices of own preference and you'll get yourself a wonderful meal.
Reply to this
Where'd you buy those? I've looked in a number of Asian shops all over Holland but I couldn't find any. Or did you just buy the ones you feed to reptiles?
Reply to this
There's a board game kicking around that lets you try a variety of different insects - I almost ordered it but strangely, no-one would play it with me.
How about trying some exotic meats like kangaroo? A butcher near me was offering crocodile tail, but I was too much of a wimp to ever go in.
Reply to this
I can't say I've ever eaten the tail before, but crocodile is actually really good. I had some when I went to Carnivore in Kenya. Too bad they were out of Zebra when we went there.
You're reaction after eating that chocolate worm-thing was priceless, Brad. You're a much braver person than me. Something about intentionally eating bugs doesn't set well with me at all. :x
Looking forward to see what you try next~
Reply to this
Crocodile tail is actually pretty good....at least the way I have had it prepared in the past. Actually, that sounds good now that I'm thinking about it!
Reply to this
Wow...I have to echo the others and say you are one brave man.
Here's my weird food warning: if anyone offers you something called "ground cucumber", be advised--it's really silkworm pupae.
Great show!
Reply to this
I ate fried scorpions in China. They actually weren't bad. Tasted a lot like fried peanuts.
I live in the south of Germany. We have a lot of vineyards here and like in France, it is a old tradition to eat vineyard snails, fried in butter and herbs.
They actually taste quite good, just like sea mussel (which are actually closely related to snails).

There's a drink called "cockta" you should try. It tastes kind of weird at first, but it's pretty good!

Go to a local Asian market and find the odd snacks they have like squid chips and such. Those might actually be good.
I too have some weird tastes like Sushi, squid, octopus, etc. But yeah bugs are disgusting. Hell I'd eat snake but never a bug.
Reply to this
insects like crickets are actually very nutritious since they have a high amount of proteins,that is ofcourse if you dont dip them in chocolate or make lollipops out of them.
soldiers actually survive on eating things like insects and worms.
Reply to this
I've tried Dark Chocolate Scorpions, Scorpion Lollipop, a version of the Butterfly one he tried(But it was a gummy, not a lollipop), and I do believe I have ingested at least 3 White Chocolate Spiders. Oddly enough, some of those were REALLY good once you get over what your eating. They do have health benefits(Once you get past the coating of sugar), and wouldn't mind having more(But those are hard to find where I live). There are some odder ones out there(I have seen White Chocolate Squid with Cream Filling before). Great, hilarious episode, Brad! Keep up the great work on all your projects!
Reply to this
Best. Reaction video. EVER ;D!! Your reaction eating the cricket was friggin' PRICELESS
Reply to this
In my army days, I took part in survival training which included living off anything edible. I had to eat worms and bugs. They were pretty gross but it was either eat them or have the drill sergeant call you a pussy.
Brad, have you seen in the news recently about this new 'super drink' North Korea has created? Among its many attributes , it supposedly can reduce wrinkles, clear your complextion, and increase brain cells. I would love to see you get a hold of some of that and give it a try, just to see what an energy drink from a totalitarian dictatorship tastes like. (My guess is that it tastes like concentrated ass.)

Brad, I am terribly sorry that you had to do this. It was very uncomfortable watching it and I could clearly see how much you did NOT want to do this video! Yet, oddly, I continued to watch, perversely fascinated.
Reply to this
You should go down to Mexico and eat fried ants, or to Thailand and eat some friggin huge grasshoppers they have there, they taste like pear XD.
But if any of you was weirded out by this, you should search youtube for eating LIVE bugs, I saw one where this girl takes this HUGE bug out of a bucket and eats it! A GIRL! omg it was just insane...
Reply to this
hey Brad, are you anime fan? I've the FLCL poster on the wall before and what appears to be figurines and stuff, yet you never reference anime in any of your videos

All of the anime stuff and the warcraft figurines are Jillian's. I'm not much into that stuff.
Reply to this
You are a brave man, Brad.
Reply to this
I bought a bag of grasshoppers, caterpillars and crickets from a street vendor in Thailand once. They were pretty good - I could see myself eating them regularly as a snack.
More difficult than eating the first one was reaching down into the bag and brushing my hand against all the carcasses. I was afraid that they would come alive at any moment. But beyond that it was fine.
Reply to this
Ugg. I felt sick just watching you Brad. After that chocolate worm I would have chickened out on the rest >_<
Reply to this
If you keep eating those bugs you could turn into a real life human centipede. Probably. I'll tell you when I finish my science class next semester. Hold on till then, and try not to eat any more of those delicious wonderful roaches.
Reply to this
Coming from an entomologist, I can tell you the "butterfly" in that lollipop was only in the "body" of the insect; real butterfly wings don't have main veins down the center. I assume those were thin leaves or flower petals at best.
Like someone said above, the flavor of the beast has a lot to do with how you feed them, and then how you prepare the insects for when you are eating them (for example, I've had "hush-grubbies" made from mealworms, like hushpuppies but with the grubs). Those aren't bad.
Unfortunately, I think you received the tail-end of what wonders entomophagy has to offer.
Reply to this
Oh god you crazy bastard I could never eat that shit just because of the skin crawl factor alone. Anyway two ideas for this new fucking awesome series.
1. Get some white wine or vodka to wash the taste of the last food away if you're gonna do what you did here with a few things at once of the same general category.
2. Try and get your hands on some Kaanga wai its a dish native to the Maori an indigenous people of New Zealand. Traditionally it was made by placing corn in flower sacks and tying them to stakes in a river, then leaving them for roughly 2 months to "cure". The result is easily one of the most rancid smelling foods you'll ever eat but surprisingly delicious. Plus people will think you're a ballsy cunt for eating rotten corn heh.
Keep up the good work man, loving it as always.

Wow, that was hilarious. You're much more brave than I am, Brad. I might be able to stomach lemon ants, but that's pretty much it as far as insects.
I still want to see you try natto.

huh, interesting... 3 products and you didnt like any of them
and i HATE bad chocolate! even if the bug would have been ok it would still have trown me off...

When you mentioned the last one being crickets, I was thinking "well that's not too bad, I've seen people eat crickets many times and it always seems to be fine" but then it said "Sour Cream and Onion"....that's disgusting.
I would've had the same reaction to the crickets, but that's assuming I would have ever put them in my mouth, which wouldn't have happened. You are more man then me.
Reply to this
Damn... that was nasty. The mixed chocolate made me squirm. I could have tired the grasshoppers and the butterfly, but on the other hand... why would anyone want to?! I laughed a lot during this, you got a great thing going... and unfortunatly risks some of your own wellbeing for it too, hehe.

You should try the Miracle Berry stuff. I hear it's actually good, and makes other stuff taste better.

You made crack up and cringe at the same time! I was going to recommend tasty desert treats like dead scorpions in alcohol-flavored lollipops, but you know what? That's pretty horrifying. I guess you'd need the alcohol to eat the damn scorpion. And it looks like the bugs in your video come from the same website as the scorpion-pops, too.

well some people may know that bugs are still being eatten in china and some parts around the world. sad thing is that during hardships people in asia ate fried grasshoppers and few other insects to stay alive. In china they add some kind of chemical to make insects about 3 times its size.. and the people eat it.. i visited china for few days and saw sickest things there. First is that they sell 3 grasshoppers on a stick that is about as big as your two fist combined... and crickets that are similar size. Also my friend took me to a place that sold animals' c**k it was sick( i did not eat any of it).. lasty i found out that there are people that eats insects because they are used to it. for instance a girl ate an ant at the age of 6 and kept eating since because she liked how it tasted.. she even brings them around to eat with other kinds of food like lolipop( where she would make the lolipop sticky put ants on it and suck it....)
i know its gross but there are people like that in the world and for that reason i think that edible insects were released into the world of food..
i don't know how much you are going through but i think that you won't be able to eat another food when you look at an insect LOL;;

And yet... People in western countries have virtually no problem eating shrimp, crab and lobster. Which like insects are also arthropods and imho look just as bug-like.
Just saying.
Anyway after seeing LordKat chow down on his grasshoppers last night I can't wait for mine to arrive. I'm really curious now.

Aren't America, Australia, Canada, & England the ONLY countries in the world who DON'T eat bugs?
According to this evolution chart I'm looking at, lobsters & crabs are dendants of ancient spiders & scorpions.

Still think you should have named it "Brad Tastes", "tries" is a bit too general.

How do you know that it was really chocolate? It could have been something else. My thought was you ate a chocolate covered caterpillar. Beware your suppliers, because there are many poisonous insects throughout the world. That, or their candy dipped alive and slowly die through suffocation leaving behind germs and contaminants. Brad, you sir are a greater man than I.
PS. Have you seen the fecal eating scene in "13 Game of Death"? If you can do that, your celebrity status would soar beyond that of any other internet entertainer.

I tried some "edible insects" once. Got some chocolate covered crickets and "BBQ Larvae" or some shit. I never got up the nerve to try the crickets, since they looked like turds with insects embedded in them, but I tried the larvae, and I think your description is pretty close. Like really, really crispy, kinda old sunflower seeds, with a hint of the "BBQ" flavor. I tried like three, but the mediocre taste and knowing what they are... Just, ugh. Not worth it. Wash that shit down and get some potato chips.

Hopefully you feel like the Cage, but with real hair. Anyway since you mentioned the poor flavoring choice for the crickets.

This is weird to say but bugs taste way better fresh. I don't mean alive, I mean freshly dead. Grubs, termites, maggots and shit like that can be made at least edible, dried crickets are fucking snake food. I work in an entomology lab and eating insects you find in the woods when you're doing field work is kind of a right of passage.

I tried "cricket bread" at a science fair in high school. She had roasted the crickets, then ground them and mixed 'em into regular bread. It was pretty tasty; you could taste there was something different in it, but not what you'd identify as crickets. (or, ya know, lawn.) I have to admit I stopped eating when I crunched on a head, but had they been thoroughly ground I would have gladly eaten more.
The "Science" idea was that insects are not just high in protein, but low in fat. There were also earthworm cookies, but they ran out before I could get any. ;(

So does this mean you won't try giant toasted ants, or a nice oven-roasted tarantula?
.... maybe a nice hibiscus flower in syrup then?

Do you not think about the environment? Let's work on renewable energy?
