The worst part about the whole thing, besides the death of the contestant, is that the only prize for winning was an $850 python. If the roaches didn't kill the guy, the python surely would have.
There are a lot of cockroaches in Florida and clearly not enough real food. Either that, or people who failed to get on American Idol or some other contest show and can't do with hotdogs or other real food have to resort to holding cockroach-eating contests. And, in the case of the winner here, die from it. It's been a week and we still don't know whether the Miami man (who has a 7-year old daughter) died from eating the cockroaches or not.
Archbold ate more than 60 grams of meal worms, 35 three-inch-long “super worms” and part of a bucket full of discoid roaches to win the “Midnight Madness” bug-eating competition Friday night at Ben Siegel Reptiles in Deerfield Beach, about 40 miles north of Miami, according to The Miami Herald. The take-home grand prize was a python from the reptile shop.
