Is it true that if you mix ground beef and coke...??

Question

Is it true that if you mix coke and ground beef together and let it sit for a while, that it will produce worms? Like raw beef and can cola...I heard this from someone in school...Is that true?

Answer 1

i heard they do this in culinary school and it is true. i have never tried this but i don't eat beef that much and when i do i only buy if from this little country store that has grain fed beef.

this is the reason they say to cook meat thoroughly.

Answer 2

You don't even need the cola. Just leave some ground beef out on an hot day and after a week or so you'll have worms. Well, more like maggots, but close enough.

Mixing cola and raw beef does not create any living creature in of itself, though.  

Answer 3

This is a new version of an old rumor about pork.

The reality is that the meat from domestically-raised animals are reliably free of worms and pouring Coca Cola over a slab of raw meat won't get you anything but Coke-marinaded meat.

Answer 4

I've heard of it happening with raw pork so.. yeah probably.

Answer 5

nope.

Answer 6

IDK.....IT'S POSSIBLE

Answer 7

as far as I heard that happen with pork ( Pork+ Cola= Worms )

but that is not true with beef ( Beef + Cola = NO Worms )

Answer 8

I forget where I saw this experiment done but long story short, if the jar is COMPLETELY sealed, no worms will form. The worms come when insects get in.
