The snails are Normans aren’t they?
We don't know. It was supposed to be funny though, so honestly probably not anything too deep or specific.
The theory I tend to believe is that it started as a commentary on the endless battle against garden pests, and just became a genuine meme beyond that.
To be fair, giant African land snails are about this size IRL.
Maybe it's a combo of a few shells traded around plus the garden pest meme to make very snail seem like a murderous asshat.
