[March 8-14th, 2020] Bug butter, the world’s deepest concert, tiny dinosaurs, and the rest of the week’s weird news from Ripley’s Believe It or Not!

Bug Butter

In an attempt to cut down on intensive land use by the dairy industry, a scientist at Ghent University in Belgium has come up with his own milk-butter substitute. Instead of using various vegetable oils like most butter substitutes, he’s using bugs! The bug butter is made using black soldier fly larvae. When it was baked into cakes, people didn’t mind when it was cut with 75% traditional butter, but once the cakes was half-and-half bug and cow butter, they said the taste was off.

Toilet Paper Curse

In the wake of toilet paper hoarding in Japan, one store has decided to fight malice with malice. Tired of people stealing TP from the customer restrooms, the owner decided to make a few talismans and whip a curse. After up to five rolls a day went missing, signs bearing all-seeing eyes with Kanji for hunger and evil. He hopes spirits of evil will keep his toilet paper safe.
