What in the Florida is this? A man from Tallahassee Florida has developed a device that allows him to kiss bugs. The device known as "Bugkiss" is essentially lips cut from a baby doll attached by a spring onto a pacifier. It may sound stupid, but his Tok Tok account has racked up millions of views. Is it worth it? Reports state that Tik Tok pays it's content creators between $20 - $40 per one million views. So when he makes a video of himself kissing a worm in Tallahassee that gets 15 million plays, he's looking at $300-$600. I've done dumber things to make $300.
In his videos, he properly explains the correct way to kiss a bug. As reported by the New York Post, "move in slowly for a smooch, gently pressing the mini-lips against the bug. You should avoid eye contact, as this can be threatening to some insects.”
The BugKiss isn't currently a product you can buy, but he explains how to make your own. In the comments he states "I'm open to making it real" so if there's a demand for people to want to kiss bugs, the product could be made. Here's some of his videos to show his invention in action.

He also plants fake items into stores for unsuspecting people to find. Thank you @legboot for the laughs today.
