We’ve all had at least one ex who we thought was great at the beginning but who, by the end of the relationship, proved themselves to be a total garbage person not worth the time and energy you spent on him. That’s why they deserve a roach named after them.
- You live and you learn, of course, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy to get over the BS drama they brought to your life and move on. You have to, of course, because pettiness can be immature and destructive — but damn if it doesn’t feel good sometimes. That’s why this Valentine’s Day, you should commemorate the d-bag in your past with a special gift: naming a cockroach after him at the Bronx Zoo.
- The zoo’s Name-A-Roach program has been around since 2011… But it continues to be a hilarious and popular choice of unconventional “gift” around this time every year. After all, what sends a better message of what a terrible human being someone is than by naming a dirty, stinking, bottom-feeding insect after them?
- It’s cheap and SO worth it. Naming a roach after your ex will only cost $10, but the joy it’ll give you in return — not to mention the printable certificate — has no price tag. Well worth the investment, right?
- It comes with extras! You can get a roach hat, mug, and pin with your donation of $75, which sounds like a bargain to me. However, if that’s too expensive, there are gifts at all price levels.All money donated goes towards supporting the Zoo’s programs and daily operations, so it’s a win-win all around.
