CrustaStun!
Whole Foods, purveyeor of guava salsa and free range sardines, has decided to become a bit more humane, as a part of the whole “successful upper middle class liberal guilt” business model. As such, they decided to stop selling live lobsters and crabs in June. But the proud heartless bastards of Maine want their lobster fresh and killed before their eyes.
As such, a new Whole Foods opening in Bangor, Maine, will buck the rules and regulations of WFHQ, and provide live lobsters. HOWEVER, they will each get their own private cubby hole (no lobster dogpile business), and they will be humanely killed by a countertop electrocuting device called the CrustaStun, a more humane (but is it more delicious?) alternative to being boiled alive.
I’m no animal rights activist, I just wanted to bring this story to your attention to notify you of the CrustaStun’s existence. Although, it is a little naive and misleading to call it CrustaStun, no? When I’m tearing a lobster claw open with an intimidating metal device and dunking it in butter, I want it dead, not stunned.

The name of that device doesn’t exactly leave me salivating for lobster — especially if they choose to advertise the fact that it was used to do the dirty. Poor lobsters, they’ve got it bad either way.

Well the whole “crust” sound is never something to integrate into your product. “Crusty” is a word strictly resigned to eyeballs in the morning.
