Burned Into My Memory
I remember my neighbor asking the rest of us younger kids to collect snails so he could have a snail pet farm. We collected them and gave them to him in a cardboard box. Then, he said, “Watch this”, and his next move left us horrified.
He showed us a can of hairspray and a lighter, which he then used to torch the snails. I didn’t talk to that neighbor after that. Story credit: Reddit / Oloapnor
