∙ 12y agoWhen pouring salt on a slug, the water inside the cells leave via osmosis (excretion though the cell wall) because the salt level is higher than inside the cell, and salt attracts water. In essence, a simple chemical reaction is causing the slug to die, cell by cell. This is what causes the fizzing. It is a slow and painful death.

How do you make snail jello?
I haven't made it in a while so forgive me if the recipe is a little off!First, gather 25 large slugs. If gathering them for future preparation, store them in refrigerator.Next, you will need a food processor or blender.Throw the slugs (alive) into the food processor and blend into a puree. The consistency will be much like that of apple sauce.Pour 1 1/2 cups of cold water into the food processor and blend with puree.Then pour the mixture into a pot and bring to boil. Add 1 tablespoon of sugar.Following the jello instructions, empty the jello packet into a bowl. Pour the boiling mixture in and stir until completely dissolved. Add 1 cup cold water and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.Enjoy! This is a delicious twist on ordinary jello and my kids absolutely love it! Although they don't exactly know I put slugs in there ;)
