So what does a convicted killer who’s terrorized a community and cost the taxpayers millions of dollars choose to eat for their last day on earth?

Ted Bundy

Charming psychopath extraordinaire Bundy confessed to murdering 30 women. He was electrocuted on January 24, 1989.

His last meal was declined, and although he was offered a tradition plate of steak, eggs, hash browns and coffee, he didn’t eat.

Velma Barfield

A German immigrent, Hauptmann was convicted of kidnapping and killing 20 month old Charles Lindbergh Jr. He was executed on April 3, 1936, in “Old Sparky,” the infamous electric chair at New Jersey State Prison.

His last meal consisted of celery, olives, chicken, french fries, buttered peas, cherries, and a slice of cake.

His last meal request? A single olive with the pit still inside.

William Bonin

The Freeway Killer was convicted of the rape and murder of at least 14 boys and men across the country, but the number of victims is believed to be much higher.

He was executed on February 23, 1996. His requested two pepperoni and sausage pizzas, three servings of chocolate ice cream, and fifteen cans of Coke.

What would you choose as your last meal? I think I’d have to go full on Italian. Maybe a sausage casserole or sausage penne with some spicy vodka sauce. And a bottle of Moscotto. Go out in style.
