In case you are wondering, scorpion lollipops will run you $3.99. Not the cheapest sucker on the block.

Would You Eat a Scorpion?
I don't suppose you have ever asked yourself the question "Would I eat a scorpion?". Certainly I haven't. Would you eat one if you were starving to death? What about if you hadn't had any food for weeks, and you knew it wouldn't harm you? Or what about if you went to the beach with $20 "fun money" your grandparents gave you, and saw one in a sugary lollipop form?
In case you are wondering, scorpion lollipops will run you $3.99. Not the cheapest sucker on the block.
As for Reid, he marches to his own drummer. He decided that rather than buy a scorpion lollipop, he would purchase a toy metro bus.

Reid!
ReplyDeleteLes Stroud eats scorpions on his "Survivor Man" shows with no ill effect, but if I had to eat one I would want a scorpion sucker.
ReplyDeleteI would go for the bus! It will last longer!
ReplyDeleteThat would be a tough choice. The bus lasts longer but the bragging rights of eating a scorpion last forever!
ReplyDeletecandy is tough to give up, but I would have had a bus also
ReplyDeleteOh...it sounds so strange,and looks strange too!
ReplyDeleteReid!
ReplyDeleteThankfully, I have never been hungry enough to eat bugs knowingly, nor drunk enough. (tequila worms anyone?)
Seems pretty typical for a boy to choose either one. But I would have to say Reid is the wiser spender :)
ReplyDeleteThe scorpion is rarer, worth more.
ReplyDeletewe've gotten a few of those suckers but never eaten them. no thanks. i squash enough of them under my flyswatter...
ReplyDeleteBus, for sure. Oh my goodness, that's insane. I guess it just goes to prove that reality is stranger than fiction. =)
ReplyDeleteI think I might have to pass on those. Your boys are so funny!
ReplyDeleteThat's tough. I would get the sucker and then beg to play with the toy.
ReplyDeleteCute post.
No I would not eat a Scorpion and I think Reid made the wisest purchase!
ReplyDeleteWe are both sitting here amazed! First, it was a REAL scorpion?? Surely not! Did he eat the whole thing? This is the most icky and shocking post you have ever done!!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, when he got down to the scorpion, did he actually eat it, claws and all? I know boys love bugs but this is taking it to a whole new level. Tell him I said he is totally BRAVE!
ReplyDeleteI guess they could - I couldn't!!
ReplyDeleteI might go with the bus but I would need a close look at the suckers. Brings back memories of bugs in the food.
ReplyDeleteyuck! but, if those boys are happy that's what matters. :)
ReplyDeleteI'd go for the unusual, the pop! But.. I wouldn't eat it. Bleh.
ReplyDeleteI'd go for the bus too!
ReplyDeleteWell, you know? That's a really good question. I think I'd be with Reid though. :)
ReplyDeleteI love your boys!
Do they actually have a scorpion inside? I guess that would be particularly fascinating to little boys. But as much as I love candy, I would probably buy the bus--lasts longer. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt is so cute how your boys wear costumes as everyday attire. So fun!
I would have to take a pass on the scorpion! Bus please! lol
ReplyDeletethe bus!
ReplyDeletelove

I would not eat it in a box,
ReplyDeleteI would not eat it with a fox.
Unless I was starving.
I saw these at a shop in Branson and I wondered if the bugs were real..all I could think was Eww and UGH. I'm thinking Reid got the best end of the stick buying a cool toy bus!
ReplyDeletei would have to pick the bus, no way would i eat a scorpion, yuck!! have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI think it's cool that they both do their own thing.
ReplyDeleteIn other countries they eat bugs all the time. We're the odd ones for not joining in. LOL
I enjoy reading about the kid's decisions! Fun! :)I'd probably have gone with the Metro Bus too.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! My son hates bugs and would never buy the lollipop. Did Cort eat it? The bus, however, would be a huge hit in this house :)
