It's International Fact-Checking Day! To celebrate, we've got a .... weird video to debunk. Several videos have claimed that pouring Pepsi or Coke on raw pork will force parasites to come out. Gross! Luckily, this is just a myth. Here's how we were able to fact-check it.

About this project:
The 'Is This Legit?' series got started thanks to a fact-checking development grant from the International Fact-Checking Network. The grant was supported by YouTube as part of the Google News Initiative, but YouTube doesn’t influence the editorial content of this series. (You can find our editorial standards linked below.)
