If you think that is true, then most other places in the world would be savages. Bugs are alot better for you than the evry-day snack, and are farm raised you can say, so aren't dirty and don't eat trash. I haven;t tried them, but would the first time I had a chance. I was going to eat an ant that my cousin brought from Colombia, but was eatien by someone else. For all those who have commented saying that only filthy savages would eat bugs, stop it.

If I wanted candy or snacks i'd much rather eat them with sweet, rich, and satisfying ingredients rather then eating candy and snacks containing filthy insects that feed on trash each and everyday and are then being eaten by hungry rodents and other small animals that need them more than we do! The person that created this disgusting garbage should go live in the woods far away from civilization. They'd be right at home!!! I agree with Eddie.

Sorry to disappoint you all, but bugs belong on the ground or under a rock! Absolutely NOT in your mouth unless you're some kind of hairy savage! Insects are wild Bird and animal food. Why not eat candy and snacks without all the disgusting crap in it? Newsflash people!!!! Sorry to disappoint you all, but bugs belong on the ground or under a rock!

I am surprised how a lot of people feels about eating insects.. but in some towns in México is quite normal.. just an experience to share... In Oaxaca they have this kind of crickets that are all red.. and they are delicious and crunchy, some natives prepare them as a salty snack with chilli and lemon (yiaak, I find lemon disgusting), but they are very good, also they have the same insects with a home-made chocolate cover... and they are just amazing. My father was once in the Sonora desert and the natives gave him something like a whitish drink.. It was desert tarantula juices they extract by smashing a group of tarantulas with a very big rock on a flat surface... my father said the drink was amazingly refreshing and with nice flavor. All in all, eating some rare animals is not that bad... and if they are well prepared and served they are quite good. And hotlix is just exploiting all the bug eaters market that no one dare to please. thumbs up.. they shold get better with the candy flavors.

Scorpions were tasty but the candy was kinda mediocre (I know the candy isn't the point). I'm sort of picky, and I really don't like antenna or legs wedged in my teeth (I have tight teeth and flossing can be a pain). I will try just about anything at least once. I'm guessing the people all over the world eat insects that DON'T taste like cardboard or have them mixed in tasty dishes. It's the high protein that really makes them valuable, but until I find some that actually taste like something decent, I'm not eating any more of these. I'm really curious to see what insects taste like when 'done right' without flavoring or candy that disagrees with me. They had a tasting day at one of the local museums with a really good chef but I was out of town and I missed it. :( I’m not sure if it was the packaging or not but the larvettes didn’t taste like much except stale, stale crackers, and the artificial flavoring was nasty.
