Were the peppers already pickled on the plant somehow? Is there a type of pepper called pickled peppers? What is a peck anyway?

    Also, why would anyone she sell seashells by the seashore, of all places? Terrible business model to sell seashells where your customers can easily find their own.

      You’re paying for the curated selection. Been to the seashore lately? Most of that shits all chipped and broken.

      From what what I remember, this saying is about Mary Anning and how she sold fossils by the beach in England where she lived. So most people probably didn’t know how to pick a rock with a fossil, or open it well enough to preserve said fossil

        So people say. I’m a bit sceptical about that origin story because fossils aren’t seashells and, as far as I remember, Mary Anning didn’t sell many of her fossils!

      The value of those shells will fall. Due to the laws of supply and demand, no one wants to buy shells cause there’s loads on the sand.
