Name A Cockroach After Your Ex And Watch It Be Eaten On Valentines Day

What good is Valentine’s Day if you don’t treat yourself, being single on Valentines day isn’t such a bad thing really?

You could be like me and wait until the 15th of february to celebrate by treating yourself to all the half price chocolates.

Or you could “watch a cockroach named the same name as your ex get eaten and destroyed”.

Yes, this is a very real thing and is totally something I would love to do.

So, how can you go about naming a sleazy cockroach after your ex?

The El Paso Zoo will name a cockroach after your ex and then feed it to a meerkat live on camera and you can watch it all go down, what better way to spend Valentines day!

You can message the zoo on Facebook with your ex’s name, then wait patiently for February 14 to watch the roach get devoured during the “Quit Bugging Me” meerkat event, which will live-stream on Facebook and the zoo’s website.

The names of those exes will also be displayed around the meerkat exhibit and on social media starting February 11. The zoo calls it “the perfect Valentine’s Day gift.”

On Facebook, the Zoo even says:

What’s the perfect Valentine’s Day gift? Naming a cockroach after your ex, of course! Message us your ex’s name and we’ll name a cockroach after them! We’ll post names (First and last name initial!) starting February 11 here on Facebook! Watch on Facebook Live or on our website’s Meerkat webcam on Valentine’s Day at 2:15 pm to see them devour these little bugs!
