Siput sedut’s escape attempt from cooking pot drives Twitterjaya up the wall
Well, it’s not every day that your food tries to run away from you.
Apparently, after mindlessly forgetting to close the lid on a fresh bounty of sea snails, one Iron Chef soon discovered that these slimy little critters weren’t planning on becoming delicious anytime soon.

Dozens of the escaped cone-victs can be seen sliming up the wall of what appears to be a kitchen of a local seafood restaurant, with some even managing to ooze up to the highest points of the ceiling.
The post which was recently shared by Twitter user Manis had since become the latest in the line of hilarious Twitterjaya moments.
Netizens, as always, came in droves to comment on the particular sticky scene.
Run for your life!!hahaha

“I suspect these snails are eloping…”

Though they might look disgustingly unappetizing to some, snails have been a part of our diet for as long as humans have been, well… human.
Cultures from all over the world have partaken in this cheap, nutritious source of protein with many attributing its consumption to positive health benefits.

These tiny molluscs are known to be advent climbers where they can crawl up to a height about 7 metres, reaching the top of trees or stone clifts before jumping back into the muddy shores from which they call home.
These snails have been a staple local delicacy used in delicious dishes such as sambal, lemak cili api, curries, barbequed, and sometimes even eaten raw!
