 Do you want your roasted beans with spider flavoring or without ?

 BTW, this webcomic claims that the average human eats 45,000 spiders per year !
 Yuck !

It's a *myth* that people swallow 4 (or 8 or more) spiders per year while sleeping. We do not swallow any spiders while sleeping - spiders are smart enough to stay away.
All sorts of stuff does get into the machinery that makes our products (both in the harvesting and the manufacturing processes), no matter how much cleaning is involved, but it's usually no longer noticeable by the time it gets to the public.
Some people of course do eat insects (chocolate covered or plain) by choice. Many animals also eat insects.
