‘Hiss and tell’: Name a cockroach after your ex at Florida Aquarium
TAMPA, Fla. - While Valentine’s Day presents usually consist of flowers, chocolates and candy, those not feeling the love can name a cockroach after their ex.
For a $10 donation, the Florida Aquarium will name a Madagascar hissing cockroach after an ex or other wrongdoer.
Along with the donation, participants can send along a message that includes words regrettably left unsaid or funny revenge confessions that may appear on the aquarium’s social media pages.
Participants will also receive a certificate to commemorate the occasion and a photo of the cockroach.
