    No worm in the tequila?

    Some friends just got back from Cancun, and brought me a bottle of Mezcal, however, there is no worm in the bottle, but rather, a scorpion.

    Are they just putting whatever crawls in tequila these days?

                          I think it is to test how drunk you are.

                              This is what I've come to know about it. Mescal (mezcal) tequila is made from the agave or "century" plant. "The worm" is actually the agave worm, it lives under the plant and has a kind of symbiotic reletionship with it, so much so that when the plants are harvested and used to make the mescal the worm is included... because it is in effect part of the plant.

                              There's more to it than that, and the Mexicans have a kind of ritual they go through with regards to eating the worm and what it's supposed to do for you etc.

                              They tell us gullible tourists that if you eat the worm and drink the last shot of the bottle to wash it down you will be "3 days sexy", or irresistibly attractive to the opposite sex for 3 days.

                              Works for me every time. :D

                                      I am not sure that I am even going to open the bottle, it was meant as more of a decoration for my bar.

                                          THE WORM
                                          Another interesting error is an urban legend related to a worm. The worm-in-the-bottle myth is old and tired. The truth has been broadcast and expounded for years by the cognoscenti of tequila, in newspapers, magazines and on the internet. Yes, it?s true, some American-bottled brands put one in their bottle to impress the gringos and boost sales, but it was a marketing ploy developed in the 1940s, not a Mexican tradition.

                                          Sometimes however, there is a worm, properly a butterfly caterpillar, in some types of mezcal. You may also get a small bag of worm salt and chile powder tied to a mezcal bottle. There are two types of worms in mezcal: the red, gusano rojo?considered superior because it lives in the root and heart of the maguey?and the less-prized white or gold gusano de oro, which lives on the leaves. The red gusano turns pale in the mezcal, the gold turns ashen-gray. Both larvae are commonly eaten as food and are sold in Zapotec markets.
                                          Yes, you?re supposed to eat the worm in mezcal. Don?t worry: it?s quite well pickled and free of pesticides (they?re often raised just for use in mezcal, cooked and pickled in alcohol for a year). But dispel any idea it has any magical or psychotropic properties, that it?s an aphrodisiac or the key to an ?unseen world.? It?s merely protein and alcohol?but it?s very rich in imagery.

                                                                              First let's get a few things straight. There's no worm in tequila, or at least there isn't supposed to be. Purists (hah!) say the worm belongs only in a related product, mescal. Strictly speaking, mescal is a generic term meaning any distillate of the many species of agave (or maguey) plant, tequila included. Today, however, mescal is popularly understood to mean a product bottled in the region around the city of Oaxaca. For years this stuff was basically home-brewed firewater consumed by the locals, but in 1950, Mexico City entrepreneur Jacobo Lozano Paez hit on the idea of putting a worm in each bottle as a marketing gimmick. Stroke of genius, eh? I don't get it either, but that's what separates us from the visionaries.

                                                                                                  Are they just putting whatever crawls in tequila these days?

                                                                                                      First let's get a few things straight. There's no worm in tequila, or at least there isn't supposed to be. Purists (hah!) say the worm belongs only in a related product, mescal. Strictly speaking, mescal is a generic term meaning any distillate of the many species of agave (or maguey) plant, tequila included. Today, however, mescal is popularly understood to mean a product bottled in the region around the city of Oaxaca. For years this stuff was basically home-brewed firewater consumed by the locals, but in 1950, Mexico City entrepreneur Jacobo Lozano Paez hit on the idea of putting a worm in each bottle as a marketing gimmick. Stroke of genius, eh? I don't get it either, but that's what separates us from the visionaries.

                                                                                                      http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a990702b.html
                                                                                                      Wikipedia tells it a bit different...

                                                                                                      The worm: The originator of this practice was a man named Jacobo Lozano Páez. In 1940, while tasting prepared agave, he and his partner found that the worm changed the taste of the agave.


                                                                                                      Also, with regard to the scorpion:
                                                                                                      The scorpion is another marketing gimmick that is associated with Mezcal. However unlike the worm the scorpion does not change the flavoring of the Mezcal. The scorpion is edible as the stinger and all the posion is drained before being put into the bottle

They get big enough where you have to crush them with a phone book. The first time i saw a huge one run across the floor i almost shit my pants. Then one time i woke up and felt something brush against my legs under the covers. Sure enough it was a huge scorpion. I think i scared it as much as it scared me. I was pretty lucky that i didnt get stung. Two of my friends down there did. The stings from those things do some pretty bad damage.

                                                                                                                              To make a long story longer...those pics creeped me the hell out. I couldnt even have that in my house.
