Kicker - A dinner worth a thousand clams

NICK EICHER, HOST: Imagine you’re out to dinner, special occasion, enjoying your favorite seafood. You bite down and, uh-oh. Michael Spresser told CBS Philly.

SPRESSER: And then when I started to eat it, I noticed something was in my mouth. I actually thought one of my tooth broke.

It didn’t break, but it sure might’ve.

Spresser was having his appetizer of a dozen clams on the half-shell when he discovered he’d bitten down on a pearl — 8.8 millimeters.

Pretty nice. Could be worth about a thousand clams.
