Medical Emergency Involving Drinking Rat Juice... Seriously!
So... You get called to a residence of one of the firefighters wives who drank most of a can of soda that ended up containing a rodent. Yes, a rodent. The mouse or rat was sealed inside the soda can.
- How would you handle this?
- Do you consider this a medical emergency?
- What would you do it it was your wife, family or co-workers wife?
Seriously, this happened!
Exhibit A:
One thing for sure, it sure makes me think twice about drinking anything out of a soda can.
On a side note, and not to be too gross, but the critter was literally "glued" to the bottom of the can, making it's presence rather... stealth. Damn rats!

OMG OMG OMG VOMIT VOMIT VOMIT
This gives whole new meaning to the FDA's acceptable PPM (parts per million) of human parts and animal parts and random crap mixed in to food.... eeeewwww
I personally have watched as the coffee beatles are roasted with the coffee beans then ground right in... for extra special flavor ;-)
1) How does one see what is on the bottom of a soda can - through the tiny hole?
2) Why would anyone tell anyone if this happened to them?
3) Why would anyone let their friends post it on the internet?
She should send the company a picture and get free soda for life... or better yet, sue them... and get free everything for life...
I am tooooo grossed out to address the medical implications... let someone else handle that, now that I have covered the gross obvious stuff...
oh yeah, my Indian housemates say this is good eats India... ship it on over here...

I've heard of Kentucky Fried rat, but marinated rat just doesn't sound as good. They eat rats in India?

Some fun recipes...
"Brown rats and roof rats were eaten openly on a large scale in Paris when the city was under siege during the Franco-Prussian War. Observers likened their taste to both partridges and pork. And, according to the Larousse Gastronomique, rats are still eaten in some parts of France. In fact, this recipe appears in that famous tome.
Grilled Rats Bordeaux Style (Entrecote à la bordelaise)
Alcoholic rats inhabiting wine cellars are skinned and eviscerated, brushed with a thick sauce of olive oil and crushed shallots, and grilled over a fire of broken wine barrels.
What won't the French do next?
In West Africa, however, rats are a major item of diet. the giant rat (Cricetomys), the cane rat (Thryonomys), the common house mouse, and other species of rats and mice are all eaten. According to a United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization report, they now comprise of over 50 percent of the locally produced meat eaten in some parts of Ghana. Between December 1968 and June 1970, 258,206 pounds of cane-rat meat alone were sold in one market in Accra! This is a local recipe that shows the South American influence on West African cuisine.
Stewed Cane Rat
Skin and eviscerate the rat and split it lengthwise. Fry until brown in a mixture of butter and peanut oil. Cover with water, add tomatoes or tomato purée, hot red peppers, and salt. Simmer the rat until tender and serve with rice.
Stuffed Dormice / Ancient Rome
Prepare a stuffing of dormouse meat or pork, pepper, pine nuts, broth, asafoetida, and some garum (substitute anchovy paste.) Stuff the mice and sew them up. Bake them in an oven on a tile.
Roasted Field Mice (Raton de campo asado) / Mexico
Skin and eviscerate field mice. Skewer them and roast over an open fire or coals. These are probably great as hors d'oeuvres with margaritas or "salty dogs."
Farley Mowat also gives this innovative arctic explorer's recipe for souris à la crème.
Mice in Cream (Souris à la crème)
Skin, gut and wash some fat mice without removing their heads. Cover them in a pot with ethyl alcohol and marinate 2 hours. Cut a piece of salt pork or sowbelly into small dice and cook it slowly to extract the fat. Drain the mice, dredge them thoroughly in a mixture of flour, pepper, and salt, and fry slowly in the rendered fat for about 5 minutes. Add a cup of alcohol and 6 to 8 cloves, cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Prepare a cream sauce, transfer the sautéed mice to it, and warm them in it for about 10 minutes before serving.

India Wants People to Eat Rat Meat
Bihar, one of the poorest states in India has decided to popularize rat meat among its population. Jeetan Ram Manjhi, Bihar's social welfare minister for Scheduled Castes and Tribes described it as a 'well calculated move'.
Manjhi also cited research which said that rat meat was 'healthy' and 'tastier than chicken'. There is a proposal to serve rat meat through restaurants, 'dhabas' or roadside eateries and other places.
Musahars, known as the traditional rat eating community in Bihar, traditionally hunt rats in paddy fields. The latest move is expected to improve their living conditions.

Thai Dish
Recipe for ground rat meat and chili paste:
Ingredients:
1/4 cup fish oil
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1-1/2 cups of dried red chili peppers
4 long green peppers
8 large bay leaves
1/2 cup holy basil leaf
1 tablespoon salt
4 chopped garlic cloves
4 small rats
Initial Preparation:
With a mortar and pestle place the 1-1/2 cups of dried red chili peppers, and begin to mash until a red paste is achieved. Add a tablespoon of water to make moist.
Chop garlic cloves.
Place bay leaves in a small bowl of water. Roll two bay leaves at a time and then thinly shred and place in dry dish. Do for all 8 leaves - two at a time.
Place holy basil leaves in a small bowl of water.
Dice long green peppers. Do small cross sections so look like wheels and place in dry dish.
Skin 4 small rats. Clean and place heart and liver in separate bowl.
Cooking preparations:
Place oil in a wok over an open flame and heat
Place small rats in a grate, and lightly cook over an open flame on both sides until medium cooked. Do not cook well done.
Mix red chili paste with hot oil and stir well.
Finely chop rats on a wood chopping block over and over until makes a smooth ground meat texture. Be sure to chop all the bones well.
Add chopped rat meat to the red chili paste and oil and stir well.
Add diced green peppers and stir well. Let cook for 5 minutes.
Add 1/2 tablespoon of salt.
Add whole liver and heart and sir in.
Add holy basil leaves to mixture and stir in well and let cook for another 5 minutes. Be sure not to burn the chili paste - add a little water if necessary to keep moist but not runny.
Add chopped garlic cloves
Add shredded bay leaves and stir in and cover and let simmer for 5 minutes or more to let all the flavors mix well.
Serving:
Serve ground rat meat on an oval dish with livers and heart on the top. Circle with garnish of basil leaves and halves of lime. Serve with white rice. The flavor will be hot and tangy with a mild crunchy chew to it. It is not to be considered the main dish, but a nice hot and spicy accent to other prepared dishes. Very good on crackers, but Thais do not generally eat crackers. Recipe would not go over well in Peoria, Illinois or Davenport, Iowa.

You guuys are seriously twisted.....

While much of India considers the rat to be sacred and lets them multiply freely, the poorer regions consider the rats plentiful existence a primary food source for their region.
Note the lovely recipe, above, which moves beyond the standard - roast a rat on a stick - which is the most common style of cuisine.

I'm thinking, I have yet another reason why I don't drink carbonated beverages. At least with tequila, I can see the worm.

and unlike the rat, the worm has been thoroughly sanitized by the ETOH... great to see that you are concerned about your health, consuming only sterile liquids... and if you can still actually see the worm, then you are doing even better.

ROTFLMAO hmmm...
in contemplation... I have concluded... perhap rat is a better choice ;-o
