Sure Mentos & Coke was hot, but here’s the latest fad. Pepsi & Pork!
Videos that show worms crawling out of raw pork when mixed with your favorite soda. Here’s one that popped on Metacafe and there is no shortage of me-too versions.
Tuesdays suck. Why? It's the worst day to check videos. For reasons I can't quite explain, people do more on e-mail and the web on Tuesdays. It's been a long-standing "secret" that promotional e-mails get the best "open rates" on Tuesdays. My CubeBreak traffic spikes on Tuesdays. Even this blog spikes on Tuesdays. But all…
This is Zack Scott’s latest. He’ll probably make a few grand from this on Metacafe.
The headline will make more sense when you view this clip. It’s a bit longer than it needs to be, but a delightful strategy for building your self confidence.
What’s better than my previous list of free and royalty-free music and sound effects? A longer list, which includes video effects too! Thanks to you, we’ve got a few new ones to share. Let me remind you that I’m tagging this entry “hellen keller” so we can all find it easily later using the Orb…
Warning: Blog post contains blatant self promotion. 🙂 I’ve been frustrated by the lack of understanding among marketers and advertising agencies about how to capitalize on online/viral video. Most viral-video marketing campaigns are born to fail — with heavy production costs, overtly promotional content, and view counts that are embarrassing. Rather than stew and rant,…
An ad for Suboxone (a pharmaceutical medication that helps people get over opoid addictions) appeared on my YouTube video called “Ten Fewer Holiday Things to Stress Over This.” Targeting or luck? Why do I have a feeling this blog post is going to attract a lot of spam for Percocet and Oxycontin?

In real estate its all about “location,location,location”,in viral video its all about “views,views,views”.So pepsi & pork isnt such a bad idea.Have you seen the ridiculous videos on youtube by a person called”casperjello”?.He/she has hundreds of 2 second videos of food,and on their youtube channel,they state:”my 2 second videos will rule the world!”…..wait until youtube starts playing post/pre roll ads with videos,and we are required to have a minimum video run time of 4 seconds,like revver does .Gee….poor casperjello….it was a great and mighty empire,but like the Romans,all things come to an end! 😉
I saw a pork/soda video like that a month ago while eating a bacon, egg, and cheese. Haven’t had one ever since and I may never again.
snopes says it’s a hoax http://www.snopes.com/cokelore/porkworm.asp
When I was a kids,one of my friends stuck a piece of pork in a sunny window and said, “Watch!” Within a few minutes worms started to crawl out the raw meat. I never ate pork again. Of course, cooking pork well will kill the worms, still there’s wisdom in eating Kosher and Halaal.
I think posting a link to a hoax video doesn’t really constitute viral video news 😛
Still, Nalts, I think you should do a video where you pour coke on all sorts of things/people to see what happens/grows out of them!!

Here the author says the dairy industry is behind all the ‘fake’ prok worm videos to promote beef.
I would be so impressed if this was true.
Pork is yummy!
The worms give it that extra crunch.
Mmmmmm. Baaaaccccooooonnnnn.
That’s nothing – if you pour good French Champagne on pork the worms come out clapping their hands. Seriously though…I poured Pepsi on a dork a couple of months back and he fucking hit me.
That site won’t load at all.. I’ve tried on different occasions over a course of ‘three'(ish) days…

Works for me. No problemo. Tried clearing your cache?
Did worms come out of the dork, Wally?
tripplehelix, did you try using Internet Explorer? I use Firefox as my main browser and it wouldn’t load the site at all. I tried IE and it worked fine.
I wonder if it works if you pour worms over coke.
lol thats would be amazing
wow!thats crazy………….so think about how it looks in ur stomach….
