is it true if you pour coca cola in pork, maggots will appear?

Question

someone saw this on myspace...

Answer 1

I think that youtube video and this question - both are conspiracy of marketing teams of coke. After seeing this video and question people would buy more coke and pork to taste and know it its the fact. And on doing this both would be unusable. They will buy again. Also so called bad news increases the sale of popular products.

Answer 2

HAM IN COCA-COLA

Ingredients:
·2kg (4.4lbs) mild-cure gammon (type of bacon/ham)
·1 onion peeled and cut in half
·2 litre-bottle coke
·for the glaze
·handful cloves
·1 heaped tablespoon black treacle (molasses)
·2 teasps English mustard powder (could substitute 2 tsp. Very hot English mustard)
·2 tablespoons demerara sugar( turbinado sugar)

Instructions:
I find now that mild-cure gammon doesn't need soaking. If you know that you're dealing with a salty piece, then put it in a pan covered with cold water, bring to the boil then tip into a colander in the sink and start from here; otherwise, put the gammon in a pan, skin side down if it fits like that, add the onion then pour over the Coke. Bring to the boil, reduce to a good simmer, put the lid on, though not tightly, and cook for just under 2 1/2 hours. If your joint is larger or smaller work out timing by reckoning on an hour a kilo altogether, remembering that it's going to get a quick blast in the oven later. But do take into account that if the gammon's been in the fridge right up to the moment you cook it, you will have to give a good 15 or so minutes' extra so that the interior is properly cooked. Meanwhile preheat oven to 240C/gas mark 9.
When the ham's had its time (and ham it is now it's cooked, though it's true Americans call it ham from its uncooked state) take it out of the pan but DO NOT THROW AWAY THE COOKING LIQUID and let cool a little for ease of handling. (Indeed you can let it cool completely then finish off the cooking at some later stage if you want). Then remove skin, leaving a thin layer of fat. Score the fat with a sharp knife to make fairly large diamond shapes, and stud each diamond with a clove. Then carefully spread the treacle over the bark-budded skin taking care not to dislodge the cloves. Then gently pat the mustard and sugar onto the sticky fat. Cook, in a foil lined roasting tin for approximately 10 minutes or till the glaze is burnished and bubbly.
Should you want to do the braising stage in advance and then let the ham cool, clove and glaze it and give it 30-40 minutes, from room temperature, at 180C/gas mark 4, turning up the heat towards the end if you think it needs it.

Answer 3

I do not know why anyone would get that meant for human consumption and is undigestable, and can cause health problems. Every year there are 75 cases of trichinosis in New York City alone.
Charlton Heston took 36 of his friends to a Los Angles Restaurant and they all got Trichinosis, he sued the Restaurant. Also that Coke will give you Diabetes. Besides maggots are fly larva, if there are any on the pork they will not like the Coke and float to the surface.VC

Answer 4

No. Maggots only appear if you use Caffeine-Free Diet Pepsi. I hope you didn't really believe that maggots would spontaneously appear from meat. That kind of thinking passed after the 18th century.

Answer 5

It will if you leave the pork on your front porch.

But then, that would happen without the coca-cola.

Answer 6

Just think what it is doing to your stomach!

Maggots will appear on any thing that will decompose and flies can get to it to lay their eggs.

Answer 7

i think the next question will be is: How many out there are going to get get a coke and some pork and try this?

Answer 8

I don't think so, unless the pork has been sitting out to where they have grown and inside, then the acid in the pop might make them come out.

thats why you have to cook pork very good, well done, because it contains worms

Answer 9

only if the maggots were there to start with. i cant imagine why anyone would even think of such a thing?

Answer 10

No it won't soda is so acidic that it would destroy the worms before you saw them
