Ripley’s Challenge: Eat a Cricket, Get a Ticket!
Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Odditorium in Cavendish is offering free admission, but you have to eat a cricket first.
The first 25 people who come to Ripley’s on Saturday, May 26, 2018 and successfully eat a cricket will receive free admission that day. The crickets are whole and roasted, and available in three flavours: Sour Cream & Onion, Salt & Pepper, and Bacon & Cheese.
The Eat a Cricket, Get a Ticket offer is a part of Ripley Believe It or Not! Odditorium’s 99 Strange Days of Summer promotion, to celebrate the company’s 99th year in business.
“We’re interested to see the look on people’s faces,” says Matthew Jelley, president of Maritime Fun Group -PEI, the company that operates the Ripley’s franchise in Cavendish. “We expect at least one person in every family will be willing to try it. Only the first 25 get in free though.”
Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Odditorium in Cavendish will be having similar events every month this summer. The next challenge is June 23, 2018 and will challenge people to eat an entire BeaverTails Pastry without using their hands.
