The Cockroach campaign 

Unfortunately, or fortunately for the animals, the campaign ended early this year as they have run out of roaches; the demand was too great. There is always next year for the next heartbreak.

Due to the overwhelming success of our Name-a-Roach Valentine’s Day Special and the orders exceeding our current capacity to fulfill all requests promptly, we are closing out the campaign later today pic.twitter.com/WaNjgzEVsJ

Valentine's Day might have once been about love, but in the age of ghosting, gaslighting and Tinder, maybe it is time the holiday undergoes some renovation. Or maybe not, if you think your partner would really love a little cockroach named after them.

If you have some exes that are roaches, this gift is a way to turn your petty feud into a charitable donation.

So, even if all you got from the relationship is trauma, someone (preferably with fur and a tail), other than your ex, can benefit.
