      Congratulations! You just found $2 worth of pearls and narrowly avoided a $2,000 dental bill.

    2. That’s awesome. When I was kid I had a small film canister I would save them in when my dad and I would eat black mussels. I didn’t think they had them anymore since they are all seeded and suspension farmed these days. Was it black mussels or green ones?

      I could be wrong, but aren’t pearls the byproduct of a mollusk trying to heal from things like viral infections? I would imagine it makes pearl-producers not good eating in general.

    4. bro you got a free accessory with your dinner haha. in singapore the hawker uncle would charge you extra for that and call it the premium set meal lol. my mussels only ever come with sand and disappointment so honestly im jealous. you could start a whole etsy shop at this rate

      When I lived in New Orleans I used to go to an oyster bar pretty regularly. They had a big jar where they put all those little irregular pearls.
