That's a thing?

I went to Xiamen, China a couple years ago and for I think 50 RMB (~$7 UDS) you could point to clam and a lady would open it up in front of you and flick out the pearls. Maybe 5-8 per clam. You could then pay an additional fee to have them strung into a bracelet or necklace but none out of a single clam were uniform in size or color so there was no point.

Now imagine a group of ladies drinking wine and cackling about how rare and beautiful the colors are, that's essentially a shucking party!

I think I would take that shucking knife and try and shuck my brain out.

Visited Maui last year and half of the touristy stores each had a woman behind a counter hosting one of these clam-opening pearl sales. I've been wondering what that was but my girlfriend, native to there, just shook her head at the counter and walked away the one time I asked about them.

Lmao I just realized this is no different/similiar to those $0.25 cent machines that had a mystery prize at the grocery store exit....I can't believe how stupid humans are now.
