Pork & Coke - NSFW

How often do you eat raw pork? Just curious.

Never. I'm just wondering if it's in there by default, or if this was somehow set up. I've never heard of it before.
 
Fake. See the video cuts? Why would you, when trying to prove something, cut the video between the setup and the evidence? On the other hand, if you search for other YouTube videos, people have done this experiment with no cuts at all and gotten nothing to come out of the meat.
 
I love snopes! Great site...

but both videos have CUTS so I don't believe it.

they do look planted too...woofta, I can still drink coke 😀
 
This is one of the ones where I question snopes. Modern agriculture has made it so that the incidence of trichinosis within pigs has virtually vanished. If you attempt this experiment with an uninfected piece of pork, of course it's going to fail. And, the vast vast majority of pork that makes it to market are unaffected. That doesn't mean it won't work on a piece of affected meat.

For what it's worth, I frequently encounter little wormy things inside the flesh when I'm filleting fish. I'll pop one out with my knife on occasion if some kids are watching me do the fish, and show them how the worm will squirm around on the table. Doesn't phase me though - it's just a little bit more protein when I cook the fish. However, these are in wild fish; since farm raised fish are fed, it's not that difficult to monitor them for parasites or to administer different medicines to kill off the parasites. Thus, you won't see the parasites in those fish. I've never noticed any in venison or other wild meats before though; although I've run into a few huge, disgusting botfly larvae in squirrels before. While they won't harm the meat, I still discard the carcass out of disgust.

:laugh: at the fishing bait worms on the last pic.

Gummy worms?

I've heard of people occasionally trying to use them while fishing (unsuccessfully), but I certainly wouldn't refer to them as "fishing bait worms." LOL!
 
I've seen them used as bait and they didn't smell like something I would put in my mouth that's for sure!

EDIT: Stuff like this.

EDIT2: Holy cow they actually have candy that looks like that! Bleccch!
 
the worms are where the delicious pork flavor comes from.

Homer: Are you saying you're never going to eat any animal again? What about bacon?
Lisa: No.
Homer: Ham?
Lisa: No.
Homer: Pork chops?
Lisa: Dad, those all come from the same animal.
Homer: Heh heh heh. Ooh, yeah, right, Lisa. A wonderful, magical animal.

They're remarkably tasty.

Was that done with a VHS sized camcorder from 1987? Even if there were worms, you can't see anything.

Mmmmm unprocessed newvicons! :laugh:
