Who hasn't wanted, at some point in their life, to alarm a shrimp, startle some krill or make a crayfish jump? I know that I have. Here at Banana Twist Mansion, the work is geared towards just that: scaring crustaceans out of their exoskeletons. Indeed, our motto is "Frighten the chiton off'n of 'em".

To this end, we've recruited a crack team of cuttlefish and squid skilled in the art of saying "boo" to prawns, loudly and scarily. The resultant fecal byproduct of this work is then hand-pressed into half-pound bricks, dried, and used as fuel in local kilns during the manufacture of pottery. Less harmful to the environment than conventional fossil fuels, dried langoustine effluence makes a greener and affordable alternative to coal. It burns with an attractive pink flame and smells faintly of hazelnuts.

The crustaceans aren't harmed in any way, other than being eaten by the hungry cephalopods.
