Tequila-Flavored Suckers with a Real Tequila Worm / Mezcal Moth Larva
While you've probably heard of, seen, eaten, or even swallowed the little "tequila worm" floating around in a bottle of mezcal, which is sort of like tequila's smokier cousin, the worm is never actually found in tequila. Even more interesting, it's not even a worm at all, it's a larva from a moth that lives on the agave plant and is added afterwards to the bottle as a unique marketing gimmick that started way back in the 1950s to help sell mezcal. Contrary to popular beliefs, it doesn't cause any hallucinogenic effects when consumed, doesn't impart any real significant flavor to the mezcal, and won't make you vomit up a nightmarish, H.R. Giger-designed monster when swallowed like in Poltergeist II: The Other Side... hopefully! It's just an edible little insect to either dare someone to eat or just enjoy yourself as a bonus source of protein.
