The department will spray a pesticide it says is safe for crops but will make the invasive giant African land snails susceptible to dehydrationWe used to use salt.

Too late: the giant snails have already taken over the US Capitol.
Good one, wish I had thought of it first.

Put out a bowl of beer, (budlite?). it actually draws in slugs and snails.

Don’t worry. Most French sneer at everything American.
After they eat, they’ll go home.

“But Brawndo has what plants crave! It's got electrolytes!
'...Okay - what are electrolytes? Do you know?
Yeah. It's what they use to make Brawndo.'
But why do they use them in Brawndo? What do they do?'
'They're part of what plants crave.'
'But why do plants crave them?'
'Because plants crave Brawndo, and Brawndo has electrolytes.”

What are you, an ultra-MAGA anti-science troglodyte? Take this Brawndo and go drag your knuckles!

No, just making the connection between salt killing vegetation and Brawndo killing vegetation. "It's what plants crave."

Manilas from the Pacific NW are the best. I've always wanted to try a Geoduck but never have been to the NW. Probably never will. Ah well.
Actually, the best seafood I ever ate was a fresh caught raw scallop on Cape Cod. Warm, salty and sweet. I'll never forget the taste. Heaven.

Geoduck
The white meat (tender) is exported to Japan
Dark meat (chewy) goes into canned clam chowder.

It's from the movie "Idiocracy" which depicts 500 years from now, when humanity has devolved into idiots. They drink this Gatorade type drink and even used it everywhere for everything which has killed all of the crops.
It's become a cult movie and by now a modern American allusion. It's a very risque laugh with a not so subtle message. It was created by the guy who created "Beavis and Butt-Head", Mike Judge.
