Today's society eats so much crap it's sickening. What are some "gruesome" facts about food that you know. For instance:

<i>Leaving a nail in Coca-Cola for four days will just about completely dissolve it.</i>

<i>Most hot dogs are made from the leftovers of processing meat, including intestines, minor organs and meat scraps.</i>

<i>Jello contains ground up bones.</i>

I would like to know exactly what we're eating lately.

<i>Most hot dogs are made from the leftovers of processing meat, including intestines, minor organs and meat scraps.</i>

And that's why they taste so darn good.

<i>Black Puddings, a popular product over in the United Kingdom, are made from congealed blood.</i>

<i>Most milk products contain cow pus.</i>

Disgusting, no?

They call black pudding "blood pudding" here, so that's not much of a surprise.

Well, if they called it that over here, the suckers wouldn't buy it.

Similarly, it's said that Coca-Cola's ubiquitous soft drink doubles effectively as an engine cleaner, which troubled me greatly until i recalled that the Hydrochloric acid produced by the human stomach can dissolve steel.


<b>EDIT:</b> The gelatin that comprises Jell-o is actually made of what the industry titles "hide trimmings," or extraneous animal tissue. However, it's purified so intensely into collagen that the end result isn't even considered a meat product; vegetarians can safely eat it, unless they've taken to their particular calling in antipathy of animal cruelty.

Yeah, the Coke thing isnt a new idea. I have personally used it on the corrosion on my car battery more than once in order to make my car start.

Lets not forget that Caffeine is one of the most addictive substances known to mankind.

I just ate some fishsticks, I do not want to know what is in those.... :choc: :choc:

Doesn't bother me, really. The only thing that really bothers me when I'm eating is if the thing I am eating actually looks like it did before it was cooked (like shrimp) or if it has a bone it in. It disgusts me.

Go to www.snopes.com under the Cokelore section to see the truth about some Coke rumors. I can tell you right now that most of that is either not true or exaggerated.

Think 'everything BUT fish' and you'll be halfway there.

Jelly (Jello if your American) has something from cows hooves in doesnt it? Same with that nice nice nice Mr Whippy Ice cream you get. Yummo.

I don't drink much coke, so the corrosive powers dont really bother me.

And in my local kebab place, a key ingrediant of the mayonaise was semen. Until the health inspectors came into the picture anyway..

Ain't nothing wrong with pig intestines.

In the days of the Greeks, after they'd poured their libations and sacrificed the thigh bones, they'd roast the intestines and eat them.

At least, that's what I gather from The Odyssey.

<i>Jello contains ground up bones.</i>
Many foods contain ground up bones, especially candy. Skittles, marshmallows, Starburst. "Gellatin" is made of the ground up bones and scraps of animals.

Also, the FDA allows up to 2% of each hot dog to be rat feces.

And Coke can dissolve pretty much anything. It makes a great cleaner.

There's a chemical called “propylene glycol,” which is found in most fast food restaurants’ salad dressings in order to maintain moisture. The chemical, however, also comes with cautions and warnings that it may cause skin and eye irritation if exposed to the human body, is more commonly used as “Sierra Anti Freeze” coolant for cars, and is also found in Astroglide Sexual Lubricant.

I'm so glad I son't eat fast food salads. ;)

My dad knew a guy who worked at a canning factory, and they peed in the pea cans. Now we never buy peas in a can :D

Food is food, be it bits of cow hooves or blood.

If it doesn't kill me and tastes good, who cares?

In a McDonalds, don't be suprised if they cleaned the grill with Sprite or nother drink from the machine; works better at cleaning the grill than the grill cleaner.
