Maybe you're in a new relationship, or you're looking for a way to let a friend know how much you care. Maybe you planned to buy everyone you know that service offered by a Texas zoo where they would name a cockroach after an ex and let you watch as they feed it to a meerkat, and you just found out it's too late because that service was just too popular.
