It just popped up. Never mind.

OK – I’m sending Megan $50!! And Peter, after your “stint” in the Navy, you should also offer hazardous duty pay!! :)

Props to you Meagan! No way I could do that, even for $50 bucks. I just learned to eat sushi a few weeks ago… grasshoppers are a bit out there.

Those are really good!!! We used to give them out at tradeshows we attended to get attention.

Nothing like a good chocolate covered grasshopper. Live ones are even better but take a little more care to get them down quickly.

Great video.

Peter – You should give Megan $500.00 for turning that grasshopper-eating excercise from ‘pop it in your mouth’ to a five minute ordeal!

This was great! Certainly made me laugh early in the morning! I think I would have done it too….

Ok Meagan,
There’s a saying we say in Jamaica, GAL,YOUR GOOD! LOL
I totally support the foo chain from te ground up, and chocolate makes everything taste wonderful buttttttttttttttttttt but in light of the fact that I have several heating elements lovely spices, mucho liquids, great vino to cook with….. HELL to the NO, as I live in urban NY. LMAO! NOw trapped like reality show Survivor strong maybe… and I did say maybe…LOL I agree with Linda.. $500.00..LOL MAngia

Meagan and I have something in common! I once “had” to eat a fried grasshopper for extra credit in Freshman Biology. :-)

Peter;
I would strongly suggest that Meagan stay away from large vats of chocolate or the grasshopper’s relatives may want to get even! :-)

You are on Fear Factor Shankman style. You go girl!

Hey you two – I saw a bit of poor Megan’s toes and I would love to do a toe reading for her and for you if you are up to it. From that quick flash of toes I can tell you all about Megan. Send me pics of your feet, flat on the ground, and I will tell you a few things about you and what those toes are telling the world. I have a new workbook coming out as soon as I find a publisher for it. Hope to see those toes soon.

Okay, I hate to say it, but I hope today is another slow day at HARO! That was well worth the watch. Thank you, Meagan, for humoring your employer.

Speaking on behalf of assistants everywhere…Meagan needs a raise! :)

LOVE the extreme close up of the partially-coated ghopper…little bit of bait and switch though–the email didn’t mention ‘chocolate’! :-) Still, many kudos Meagan!

Ever since I learned that consuming sugar is the dietary equivalent of committing suicide, I have avoided sugar like the plague. So now, instead of eating sugar, I eat chocolate instead. Meagan’s experience has proven once again that the old saying rings true — “Thank God for chocolate!”

I can’t figure out why this is grosser than eating cows, chickens, or pigs, but it just is.

Here in Maryland we devour soft-shelled crabs. Once you’ve bitten into a whole crab, something like a little ol’ chocolate covered grasshopper just seems like an after dinner mint!

I agree with Linda & Leesa…Megan, you were totally brave!

Peter, you’re mean! You enjoyed that far too much. Meagan, you rock.

Eww – at least there was chocolate involved. I don’t know why running in place makes the gross less gross, but it makes sense :)
Megan, you get The Bravest HAROer Ever award. Our office agrees we’d rather jump from a plane than eat a grasshopper!

Meagan, you are the coolest. I ate one for the Fox TV morning show here in Phoenix once when I was still an assignment editor. Sometimes you will do almost anything for your employer. Almost.

Peter,
What’s next?…. Lizzard and onion?

Meagan, you are amazing! I think Peter should give you a big bonus for being such a good sport.

Peter, next time you get a fun food sponsor (monkey brains, anyone?) I think Meagan should video you eating it…

LOL…. thanks!

I’ll eat chocolate-covered-just-about-anything!

Alas poor Meagan, you’ve fallen under his spell. You are a better woman than I am.
Peter, I’ll pay you $100 to eat one – slowly, bit by bit, crunch by crunch….morsel by morsel….
