Name your price

The heavy rain following all that sunshine means our lawns are suddenly home to lots of slugs. We are bought up to love all living things, & most of us do, but slugs are tough to like.

Bit of an odd one this, but imagine you were asked to eat a live slug. You'd decline, obviously, but it's said that everything has a price.

So, how much would you need to be offered to eat one live? (Not cooked, has to be live).

Honestly, if I were offered £10,000,000 in cash I'd snap decline.

    No amount of money would get me to eat this heres why.

    most things have a price, I would not say everything does. I cant spend money when I am dead and I cant understand it to enjoy it if I am brain damaged.

    eating slugs risks both and therefore no amount of money would entice me to eat a slug.

    I have for some reason had a dream multiple times where I am going to fight the heavy weight boxing champion of the world. I am a nobody in this dream and have basically zero chance in winning but if I step in the ring and fight I get £1million and so I am going for it for some reason entertaining the tiny chance I can win. See not even in my wildest dreams could I win the heavy weight fight. but in my dream in the wildest dream 9dream within dream maybe I could)
    anyway whenever I wake up I realize I would never go for this because it would likely kill me/give me brain damage.

    Now if you come up with something utterly disgusting which has no chance of death or permanent damage to oneself. for £10million if it is limited to the unpleasant experience of a day sure why not because then I have the whole rest of my life to enjoy never having to worry about money ever again and to enjoy completely free.

    Are we allowed salt and pepper for a bit of seasoning?

    I remember reading about an American soldier in Vietnam who would eat literally anything to win a bet, he won quite a lot of money until he was dared to eat a little frog, he eat it, he died.

    ...he croaked it would have been a much better ending to that ;)

    Only you could take all the fun out of a prop bet.

    Having eaten snails, picking them out of the shell with a pin, I would probably take this on for £2,000,000 Free S.P.T entry for life and a catering box of Freddos.
