Exactly as expected
All the reviews were pretty spot on. Small bag, crumbly, not very flavorful. Pop some garlic salt or paprika in the bag and you're good to go! Debating on making a flour with them and using it to bread some chicken. I'm a foreman at a body shop and only 3 of the guys were willing to try them and the rest scattered so it was an entertaining day. Keep water nearby because they are dry.

Pretty good tasting bugs!
I got these as a gag gift for my office! We had lots of fun with them and they actually taste like sunflower seeds with a bit of a strange after taste. For the price it was definitely worth the faces everybody made!

Small bag
Very small bag. Less than the size of my palm. No spices, bland but it's on my bucket list abs I did it. Crunchy, dry with a bit of a fishy flavor.

Hit or Miss
I decided to try this as I've tried ants before. Every bug tastes exactly the same and I can't even describe what they taste like. It didn't taste bad but not something I would buy again. However, my dad really liked them and said he would buy again.

Good quality
They look like good quality. My squirrel is in his picky stage, so he isn't eating them right now. But, they are full pieces & intact. Not crumbs like 1 company i ordered bugs from. I would recommend & probably prefer again.Very small bag. So watch what size you order. This is no fault to the company.

Attempted to return for the safety of children, and unopened items NOT eligible for return!
We ordered 5 packages of these edible bugs for a "Fear Factor" type program event at an afterschool program. We had two staff members try the bugs before feeding them to children. One staff member ate a small grub and another staff member ate a large grasshopper and a large cricket. Later that same evening, the staff member who ate the two larger bugs got violently ill with an undetermined gastrointestinal bug for several days and nearly ended up in the hospital. It was decided for the safety of the children in the program, that we would not allow the children to try the bugs, and would instead return them to the manufacturer- ONLY WE COULDN'T! We assumed the open bag would not be eligible for return, but the remaining 4 bags were completely untouched and STILL not eligible for return, which means our non-profit afterschool program that went out on a limb to provide fun programming for kiddos, is now stuck with $40 worth of bugs we cannot use OR return!Was is the bugs that made the staff member sick? We do not know, but what we DO know, is that we should have been able to return the unopened packages of bugs to the manufacturer.As for the product itself:Appearance: Exactly as expectedTaste: The grasshopper reportedly tasted like salty grass, the cricket tasted less grassy but much like the shell of a sunflower seed. The grub had no distinct taste (gross or otherwise).The product arrived as expected and I don't have complaints about the product, necessarily, but I am very disappointed that I cannot return the unopened packages.

Surprisingly not bad!
My office has a thing where every week, whoever is willing gets together to try something for the first time. Often, as in this case, they are fear foods. I was first impressed with the double packaging. It was very secure and ensured that the insects arrived in nearly perfect condition, with no small broken pieces. Even though the package was smaller than expected, it was well packed with more than enough insects of a good variety. I was also pleased to see that the ingredients list was simple and very clean. The flavor and texture were pretty good! Lightly salted and a little nutty, with none of the bitterness you get with fresh insects! The texture was pretty tolerable too, a little papery, similar to the texture of sunflower seed shells. Those of us that tried the insects were pleasantly surprised, and even a few of the people that refused at first ended up trying them and also agreeing that they were not bad at all.
