salt

And now a video of a happy clam eating salt off a table! I don't know why I find this amusing, but for me it's down right entertaining! I don't think I've ever witnessed a clam coming out of it's shell voluntarily, usually you have to force them out. It looks like a giant tongue that would make Gene Simmons envious, but it's actually the mussel itself climbing out of it's shell for a quick snack.

If salty foods are your weakness, blame your childhood. Research has found that babies given such foods can develop a preference for them that carries over into adulthood.
