Name 1 thing that smells worse then a dead snail

In the past week I had a snail die, a neighbor kid cover my bathroom in poop (walls included), and had to clean out a "yard waste" trash can that was full of trash half full of water and had baked in the summer sun for months.

NOTHING came close to that snail. Epic, purely epic.

A dead human smells worse...
Not only because of the rotting human flesh but also because humans crap themselves after death..

^^^^^This
Especially when involved in a car accident and said vehicle is left to sit in the sun for days. That smell was etched into my brain for a loooong time.

Lol, so the hierarchy is

Dead Human left to rot followed by a snail. Anyway, just felt the need to post and scare people away from buying snails.

The worst thing I have smelled in an aquarium was a dead, melting anemone.

TERRIBLE!!!

Dang, I'm pretty sure I've had more than one turbo snail (big ones) died on my watch so far.............never noticed it.

Dead human? Left out on the sidewalk for a few days under the tropical sun, washed ashore on a riverbank, half-burried with one arm sticking out..........seen quite a few of those, too.

I did had a rough childhood.
