    You’re already eating bugs, in fact the FDA has so-called “food defect action levels”, which define the acceptable levels of food “contamination” from sources such as maggot and insect fragments among other things (best not to think too hard about it) in your daily food.








  • The word “zo” has a lot of different meanings. In this case it’s said at the end of a (difficult or long) task as filler word.

    Like “zo, dat is klaar” (that’s (finally) done now), or “zo en dan nu tv kijken” (and now (finally) time to watch tv)
    It doesn’t mean “so” in that case. It’s more similar to “hè hè” in that case. An expression of weariness and/or tiredness. And that’s why I translated it to “finally”. “Now this task is finished, I can finally relax with a beer”.

    I hope this clears things up for you?

    Dutch beer brand Amstel had a long running commercial campaign that featured 3 friends enjoying their beer.
    After that campaign ended, competitor Bavaria hired two of three actors and made a commercial with them enjoying a nice holiday and having them say Bavaria’s tag line “Zo, nu eerst een Bavaria” (And now finally a Bavaria).
