When I removed the top and started eating the ice, I encountered something kind of crunchy and squishy and rather bitter tasting. I spit it out very quickly and it was obvious that it was a cockroach. Apparently it had been in the ice reservoir and had been dumped into my drink. I think that was the last time I ever got a drink from that store.
I've also had my share of dragonflies when riding my bike through rural areas in East Texas and North Louisiana.
