Eating the worm

[caudio51]

Yea, the key is to drink the bottle before eating the worm. At that point you won't care anymore.

That's why they're at the bottom of the bottle!

That, and because they don't float...

You got that right.

we always used to drink the bottle and the person drinking the last shot, drank it straight from the bottle and just downed the worm whole. a lot less nasty that way,

a passage of rites at San Diego State, though i learned to tip the bottle, block with tongue, hold till worm settles at tongue, then 'swoosh': one worm, one shot! otherwise, you're drinking the entire bottle (only $3). you know, mezcal spelled backwards: ROTGUT!! yuk!!

Dudes, the Mexicans don't even eat the worm. That's like a Puerto Rican drinking Bacardi, it just doesn't happen.
