Eeeeeek!!

[Caran]

Opened a kitchen cupboard. Took out plastic box containing packets of rice and pasta and a baby snail fell out! It wasn't even as big as my little finger nail. How on earth could it have got there. It was an upper cupboard. I don't know if it was dead or alive.

[Islay]

Climbed in there.

[Baldric]

Perhaps one of the mice dropped it.
;o)

[Peter Pedant]

go well with butter and garlic

[jno]

was the box sealed? If so... snails are developing superpowers of which we can only dream...

[Maydup]

Sneaked in on the shopping bag maybe. Remember that time when you put the bags down on the path before you opened the door? Well it slid on and just made it onto the side of the pasta packet hoping for a warm & cosy winter indoors!

[Tilly2]

Was it inside or outside the box?

[jno]

do snails think outside the box? I told you they were smart

[Tilly2]

Poor little thing. It must have been terrified. What did you do with it?

[Caran]

The box was an open plastic box I use for storing packets dried of rice and pasta
In sauce. I don't know where it was really, I took the box down from the shelf, took hold of one packet and the snail appeared. It fell onto worktop.
I put it out in the garden, I don't like killing things.

[CrapAtCryptics]

Oozed up there

[Caran]

Dooooooont!!

[Tilly2]

Snails do their own thing. Don't worry about it, Caran. It won't have eaten much.

[Caran]

It was too small to eat much!
