Anyway, the current world record is in the name of Ken Edwards of England who ate 6 Madagascar hissing cockroaches in one minute in 2001. One who will break the record will get a free season pass for Halloween along with a VIP queue-jumping status.

PETA spokeswoman Jackie Vergerio said, "Insects do not deserve to be eaten alive especially for a gratuitous marketing gimmick".
