That's even better than flipped negatives, which are all too common. Thought that was what it was leading up to.  

Or, was he picking up a shell that had been placed there by an ocean front hotel owner to make their guests happy.

 I get it. It was a prop. Too bad they didn't use something vaguely believable, like a Junonia!

Hello Listers,

 

Have any of you seen this newest commercial for Daytona Beach ( FL. ) tourism?

 

You have the perfect woman and perfect man joyfully strutting down the beach, waves in the background, and he reaches down to pick an African land snail shell ( Achatina species) off the beach, I am certain of it! ( and picking it with a look on his face like WOW, look at what I found, implying you can do the same if you go there, in my opinion)

 

Anyhoot, I had a good chuckle at that. The commerical would have been so much better had he not reached down for nothing, since they groom the beaches there anyways!
