Huh.
I guess they look kind of different when they’re covered with butter and garlic.

Snails are anatomically both male and female at the same time.

Crap. Don’t tell DeSantis, or Florida’s just gonna outlaw land snails.

If I say that what is inside a snail shell is a snail, are the QI klaxons going to sound?

Tiiiimmmmmme to break out the old snail joke:

There’s a knock on a guy’s front door. He opens it… looks down… and there’s a snail, who says “Hey. I wanna ask ya somethin’.” The guy picks up the snail and throws it as far as he can. Same guy two years later. A knock at the door, and , again, there’s the snail, who says, “What the hell was that all about?!”

The Love Dart. Sounds like some '80s porn flick title. Cue the stock jazz music.

I had a pet racing snail and I took its shell off thinking it would make it faster, but it just made it more sluggish

Crabs, not snails, but the same comment applies.

Now I’m hungry for some little tiny snomlettes.

That is a good reminder that frequently the answer to “what’s inside a snail shell?” is indeed “a hermit crab.”

We had water snail in a fish tank and they would lay eggs on the glass an you could use a loupe to watch them develop.
