I used to buy mealworm for the garden birds, and I can confirm this warning is needed. I used to get told off by one bird if I took too long giving him his worms.
Here he is:
Can confirm. I opened this post outside, and was immediately swarmed. The last thing I saw before my eyes were pecked out was someone bearing a strong resemblance to Alfred Hitchcock…
Because glitter bombs are so 2019…
Every warning sign has an origin story…
Well the weather outside is frightening And I side it’s just as frightening Cause no matter which room I go Full of crows, full of crows, full of crows.
“Run, run for your lives, save your self”
That shit is like crack to birds. I got them pawning their nests and favorite pebbles just to get another hit. Living the mealworm dealer high life!
Is this guy fucking birds?
Not me, never sample the supply. Just serving a need
But what the crow wants to know is, are you taking avian sex as payment?
This is true for a very not obvious reason:
People who ignore the sign are disobedient and therefore suspicious. That’s why they send all available drones to that person to intimidate them.

Well now I want “Mealworms 5KG” just to open it outside!
Right ?
My brain immediately said “where could pick 5kg of meal worms ?”
I’ve managed to deescalate , and now it’s just on my bucket list
Edit : oh god they’re on sale Black Friday

I bought this quantity of super worms for my turtles…
And omg it’s so much. It’s like a 5gallon bucket full of dehydrated crawlies. I wish I could get that quantity of dried river shrimp, but so so so much more expensive.
Anyway, I have no idea what I’m going to do with them… I doubt my little 3 inch turtle is going to be able to consume them in the max 10 years he has left… (I had two when I bought them, but the big female died a few months later. No idea what happened, but they were halfway to their max lifespan at the time, and she deteriorated too fast to do anything about it, so…) so I guess feeding them to crows might be a good bet. Get me a corvid following. I’ve always wanted a minion army.
If you have any parking nuisances, throw a handful of mealworm on their car at night. The early bird will get the worm, and the car will be covered in bird shit.
I think you’d be doing us all a great favour, if you took a large bucket outside, and opened it up.
Get back to us ?
“Any cool things you got on sale on Black Friday?”
“Oooh yeah, 5kg of mealworms!”
“The, wha, why…?”
“AAAAAAHH! Haha”
"ಠ_ಠ "
They call them meal worms for a reason, am I right?
You can’t tell me what to do. My objectives are beyond your understanding
One of my neighbors in my old apartment building must have dropped these or something. They would come up through the baseboards in the carpet.
It only started happening a few years after I moved in so it’s not like it was a previous tenant in my unit. It was gross. I moved.
Does the disclaimer on the box say “Not for human consumption” or “Fit for human consumption”?
Yes
Probably says “Fit for human consumption”. Humans can actually eat mealworms.
are they any good?
No, but they’re worth an immunity necklace.
Eeeh, considering it’s followed by a warning not to feed the mealworms to farm animals, my bet is on “not for human consumption”
