Ladies and Gentlemen ... the BEETLES
UT wasn't the first to make the linguistic connection.

Woman wins tickets by eating beetles
May 3, 2002 — What would you do for free tickets to a Paul McCartney concert?
One woman from Bay City, Michigan, ate 100 beetles.
Lisa Goodrow says it was nasty -- but worth it, because she's a huge fan of the ex-Beatle.
She's one of six people who competed in the "Eat a Beetle, See a Beatle" contest run by a radio station.
The contestants had to eat beetle larva in batches of 25. The first group was boiled. The second, third, fourth and fifth groups were live, causing one contestant to drop out.
After the first batch, the next batch was covered in chocolate, the next two with different hot sauces. The final batch was the contestant's choice.

But why do people think of eating 'em?
