The once-popular\u00a0culinary method of cooking lobsters and crabs alive in boiling water has become increasingly controversial in the last few years.\u00a0The practice is already outlawed in several countries including Switzerland, Norway, and New Zealand, on the basis such methods cause undue distress and pain. And now some enjoy keeping Lobsters as pets taking the care of this mollusc one step further.  But what if you love this bright red creature so much that you decided to become a lobster? Lobsters feature large in the new collaboration of The Colbert couple with The Conrans Shop.
