Why Not Name a Cockroach After Your Sweetie For Valentine’s Day?

Because it sounds gross, that's why. Americans will spend a staggering $13.7 billion on Valentines Day, according to the National Retail Federation. That's a lot of candy and red roses. Do you want to do something different for your sweetie this year?

For that special someone who really has everything, the Bronx Zoo is offering an unusual Valentine's Day gift suggestion, allowing people to name one of its 58,000 Madagascar hissing cockroaches after their sweetie for just a $10 zoo donation. For $15 more, the zoo will send a card with a Cocoa-Roach. Don't worry, however, they're made out of 100 percent dark chocolate with no roach parts. The Bronx Zoo is selling this bizarre gift idea as being symbolic of a love that will endure, explaining, "Diamonds may be forever, but a cockroach can survive a nuclear disaster."

What do you think? Does it sound gross?
