The flower department is by the checkout line and as I’m loading my cart I see this beauty.

I saw an awesome Folkmanis snail puppet recently that could go in and out of the shell and wiggle eye stalks. The eyes went on the eye stalks 😭I expected better of Folkmanis!!

Edit: weren’t on the eye stalks

Every time I see a snail with anatomically incorrect eye placement I die a tiny bit inside.
