Apparently leaving it on the counter for 15 minutes or so, covered in Coke or Pepsi, results in little uninvited "guests" appearing on the scene...

"The original" pork+Coke=worms video...

I think I will be cooking all my pork extra long from now on.
LOL well unless you want some new friends "hooked (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasitic_worm)" into your intestines, that's a good plan anyway.
But the videos are of course a viral hoax (http://snopes.com/cokelore/porkworm.asp) -- some say the things that look like worms are actually just the fat kinda surfacing, appearing in squiggly line shapes.
PS: apparently this was the "original" site that posted the video, back in Feb2007: http://my.break.com/Media/Search.aspx?s=pork+coke&SearchType=Main
Well the only way to know is to try it I guess, both are not hard to come by in my house.
I've watched a bunch of "we tried it ourselves" videos, and those that don't "cut away" never show anything remotely luck worms or maggots.
And a John Hopkins University research doc says its propaganda from the dairy industry (!)

PS: for those feeling down (like this Friday won't end fast enough) check out this pork video, with "Una Paloma Blanca" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Baker_%28Dutch_singer_and_songwriter%29) as the background music. Guaranteed to lift your spirits! (and cheaper than beer)

PPS: Coke makes a great marinade/BBQ sauce (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJXYX0hnol0) base, apparently.
