FACT: What fucking fact??? splaine me, cause' this would be the first time marinating pork with Coke.....

ah... thats what the muslims mean..... aha!
Well, I'll never eat pork again!

I believe it was referring to in the beginning when it said: Fact or Fiction? etc...

All in favor of irradiated meat products?

Aye!

Grains of basmati rice?

"What is trichinellosis?

Trichinellosis, also called trichinosis, is caused by eating raw or undercooked meat of animals infected with the larvae of a species of worm called Trichinella. Infection occurs commonly in certain wild carnivorous (meat-eating) animals but may also occur in domestic pigs."

i don't believe that ...

There is no goddamn, fiction...saw it with eyes and heard it with ears...and worms have never scared any omnivore....ask the lion eating broccoli(sp)

awwww shit, after alla the banter, no pork goes in choggie till coke™ goes in and or on pork®

yeah???/ who believes then, that coke will summon such harmfull, worriage???


THE OTHER WHITE MEAT BITCH!!!

a little bit of worm never hurt anyone. it's good for ya!

Damn.. I can't post..

I think this is fiction. For one, trichinosis worms are microscopic. For another, I believe the worms, if digested would die. Thirdly, trich infected pork is very rare. "During 1997-2001, an average of 12 cases per year were reported."

Ok, so tapeworms? nope. Ringworm? "This disease is a fungal infection of the skin on both humans and animals. It is transmitted easily by direct contact."

Actually, I'm sure this is in Snopes. I found this while looking for names of pork worms:

http://www.breakthechain.org/exclusives/porkcoke.html
(5/10/2004) Circulating alone for several years, this chain letter has recently been added to a collection of culinary caveats on 'unknown' hazards in instant noodles, satay and prawns. The present rumor builds on two staples of urban legendry: the impurity of pork and the acidic properties of Coca-Cola.

Tags changed from "sick,disgusting,pork,ham,cola,soda" to "hoax,chain letter,fake, pork, cola, soda" by gold star member joedirt.

I'm still not sure. I've been trying to find anyone with real info on this (other than comments on the chain letter business) and have yet to produce verifiable results. If anyone locates this on Snopes please let me know.

Perhaps I'll have to try this experiment myself.... BLECCchhhhh.

Thats how you know when its ready to go on the heat, right when the worms emerge. The Coke shocks the worms and makes them dump the contents of their digestive sack, which some say make pork a little more flavorful.

So, what I've been able to dig up is that two types of worms can exist in pork, the trichinosis one and the pork tapeworm. Some people end up with pork tapeworms inside of them and you'd do yourself a grossness (you know, if you want) if you type pork tapeworm into google image search. Clearly they exist and are involved with pork.

However, two things showed up with what I've read:
The eggs/larvae (not full sized worms) are what give you the wormy problems with undercooked pork, and it's rare (although that's hard to say 'cause all the hard facts I found come from the pork industry, clearly an unbiased source).
Second, if you were to buy fresh pork from an unclean butcher type place, you could indeed have maggots (from flies in the place), or if the pig was just killed, worms could still be in the flesh (more common when you're buying a "pig" rather than a porkchop at the grocer's).

Last point, there's enough of an issue to this that the pork industry talks about it, but Salmonella apprently is their number one illness problem, go figure.

All this said, I have NO IDEA if Coke would really make any of these creepy crawlies come out, if they were even there. Maybe we should do a sift-wide test to determine the accuracy of the claim and (possibly) the relative cleanness of our local grocers.

Ahhhh, my very own cheeky Deathcow comment.

I really feel like part of the community now.

Good thing I don't eat pork!

Back to ostrich for me.

the camera cuts away, and out comes the couscous to be sprinkled on the piggy.

Found it on Snopes: http://www.snopes.com/cokelore/porkworm.asp
