beetigerI just ordered a fresh batch of food for the snakes from The Mouse Factory.
As part of the "wait for the computer to process your order" type conversation, the woman with whom I spoke mentioned that the folks at Fear Factor ordered 3000 frozen mice to dump with some people in a tank of water for one of their challenges. They had to separate out a few black ones from the large number of white ones with their teeth or something.
I don't think this sounds all that scary to me. She said you could tell in the footage that the mice were still pretty much frozen when they dumped them in. And, I don't know, after rereading Fast Food Nation, I wouldn't be surprised if the mice were actually more sanitary that what the contestants could pick up at McDonald's.

Teller was miming fear of the rats. The rats? They were happy as clams, wanted to cuddle up to Teller, and waaaaaay too obviously were pets.
