  • (upbeat music)

  • [Narrator] Two words, snail slime, snail slime.

  • Snails love their own slime,

  • which is actually their mucus.

  • It helps them defy gravity and move at a snail's pace.

  • Bad cliché.

  • But humans also love snail slime

  • for its nutrient-rich properties.

  • This began thousands of years ago when ancient Romans

  • and Greeks gave snails free rein to roam their faces.

  • No more redness, no more wrinkles for our classical ancestors.

  • (speaking foreign language)

  • That is kinda off topic, Simone, but now that you're here,

  • I think we should segue to your introduction.

  • (speaking foreign language)

  • He's being modest.

  • Simone is an inventor and a snail savior.

  • Before he invented his snail slime extraction machine,

  • the only way to collect mass quantities of snail slime

  • resulted in the snail's death, not anymore.

  • (speaking foreign language)

  • We begin in the fields.

  • After munching for 14 months, snails are plucked,

  • washed, and brought to Simone's machine, the Muller One.

  • Sidebar, snails secrete slime for three reasons:

  • to move, out of stress, and for pleasure.

  • Simone calls his machine a spa for snails

  • because it pleasures them with a secret spray to the point that they secrete a lot of slime.

  • (speaking foreign language)

  • If you don't talk metric, I'll translate.

  • That's as much as seven pounds of slime from one batch.

  • After that, the slime is extracted, dehydrated,

  • rehydrated, and then refined here for use in cosmetics.

  • Here it is being bottled, and then it's off to your face.

  • (speaking foreign language)

  • - Best slime in the world.

  • [Narrator] Simone, if being bold is wrong,

  • we don't want to be right.
