I work in meat industry regulation, and all of the items regarding meat are based on outdated information, or are misleading.

Bradog: I work in meat industry regulation, and all of the items regarding meat are based on outdated information, or are misleading.

Author: Jeff Wysaski is a freelance humor writer based out of Los Angeles. He has written for such esteemed online sites as Manolith, COED Magazine and Pleated Jeans. When not behind his laptop, Jeff can probably be found at a comedy show, eating a sandwich or practicing his latest ribbon dancing routine.

Because if there's one person I'm gonna take food advice from, it's an esteemed writer for Pleated Jeans who loves practicing his latest ribbon dancing routine.

The one about propylene glycol is definitely misleading. It's among the safest chemicals there are. The FDA fed rats a diet that was 5% PG for two years and they were not affected.

It's like claiming water is dangerous because it's also a chemical found in antifreeze

Exactly. People think just because a chemical has a long, complicated name means its dangerous

Dihydrogen monoxide, how does it work?

Was going to make fun of the ribbon dancing thing but I saw the cheerleader article at the bottom and realized I don't care what a writer from Pleated Jeans has to say about anything.

Oh yeah, I totally believe all of that -- even though #8, for instance, has been thoroughly refuted, and the rest are fear-mongering and out of context.

Thank you, subby.

Don't dogs have a tendency to die horribly, fairly quickly after ingesting it (the propylene glycol)?

i will not read the article, nor the comments. i have no comment, so please leave me be.

No, you're thinking of ethylene glycol. That's the bad stuff.

Also, dogs can die from onions, garlic, grapes and chocolate.

4 If not for one ingredient, drinking a can of Coke would make you vomit

While cocaine was long taken out of Coca-Cola long ago, the current formula is still formulated to get you high. Each can of Coke contains 10 teaspoons of sugar. This is 100 percent of your recommended daily intake. In normal circumstances, the extreme sweetness of this much sugar would immediately cause you to vomit uncontrollably. However, since all that sugar is addictive and keeps you coming back for more, Coca-Cola adds phosphoric acid -- an ingredient that cuts the sweetness to manageable levels.


Citation???

That's ethylene glycol. You'll find it has a similar effect on humans.

This seems like a really well-sourced, reliable list, and not at all like a list of unsubstantiated "facts" that you'd see forwarded around the internet in an email chain.

I've always heard that the chocolate one is more of a myth. Anecdotal evidence of course, but my old dog ate an entire Valentine's heart box (around 20 chocolates) and besides the horrible diarrhea and paper wrapped shiat, she was ok.

We had a black and tan that loved onions and an American cocker that really enjoyed grapes. *shrug*

Mostly BS, I want proof that drinking 10 teaspoons of sugar without the phosphoric acid with make you puke. Especially since phosphoric acid is not an anti-nauseating chemical.

Oh, how tedious. Another one of these articles gets green-lighted. And this comment:

"Coca-Cola adds phosphoric acid -- an ingredient that cuts the sweetness to manageable levels."

Is untrue. Phosphoric acid is added in tiny amounts to canned and bottled soft drinks so that carbonation is formed after the product is packaged. Now, what they don't say is that phosphoric acid is a very strong acid; it's one of the only ones that will eat glass.

sno man: Don't dogs have a tendency to die horribly, fairly quickly after ingesting it (the propylene glycol)?

The standard, toxic form of antifreeze is ethylene glycol. It's a related chemical but that doesn't imply a similar level of danger (e.g. compare ethyl alcohol to methyl alcohol).
 
2012-02-29 03:00:57 PM
#4-That is not what that acid is for. That (reacting with the sugar) creates the carbonation of the soda. It's citric acid that is used to mitigate sweetness.

That probably says more about the quality of the chocolate than the hardiness of the dog. If it was light chocolate or some other-butter-imitation of chocolate, it probably didn't contain enough theobromine to cause an issue.

My seven year old self would like you to know this myth is officially busted. Except he used tablespoons instead of teaspoons. Repeatedly.

Lazy article is lazy...
The pic for #8 is still not nugget meat. Although I don't know why anyone would want a box of strawberry soft-serve.
(especially with all those same artificial flavours as the shake.)

Every time I go to a urinal, there's ALWAYS errant pubic hairs on the lip and in the bowl. Who are these men who are shedding pubes every time they take a leak?

Bradog, I am in the meat industry as well (not sure what your role is) but you are spot on. Especially regarding the MDM.....one of my biggest commodities

i just tried putting 10 tea spoons of sugar in a glass of water and drinking it. i did not vomit.

/disappointed

Though it implies it, TFA doesn't actually say pubic hairs are in the fast food. Maybe McDonalds customers "go south with the mouth" more often.

McDonalds McNuggets are not made from or with mechanically separated chicken. I asked Mickey D's corporate. This article and the Fark "McNuggets" tag above are an outright lie.

"Before reshaping, foods like chicken nuggets, hot dogs, bologna and pepperoni look like a disgusting sludge of pink paste. This is done through a process called mechanical separation..."

/would not eat at Micjey D's on a bet

Death is more likely if they get into something like bakers chocolate, rather than stealing a mini-reeses cup or something. And, as with any allergy, there will be differences between what harms different individuals.

That's ethylene glycol...the. PG is less toxic.
 
2012-02-29 03:12:06 PM
I was curious enough I looked it up while you all were correcting me.
from the wiki...
Veterinary data indicate that propylene glycol is toxic to dogs with a 50% chance of being lethal at doses of 9mL/kg.

Yes Ethelyn Glycol is worse...
The minimum lethal dose for dogs averages five milliliters per kilogram of body weight.

It's not a myth but individual dogs mileage may vary and it's best to not check their tolerance. Some might die from a single Hershey Kiss, some, like an old dog of mine will be just fine (other than the resulting poop issues) after eating an entire friggin chocolate train from under the Christmas Tree which gets talked about to this day whenever the family gets together.
