25 Disturbing Facts You Really Don't Want To Know

5. Hot Dogs Are Meat Slime Poured Into Moulds

If you eat hot dogs (not saying everyone does) then at some point you probably found yourself wondering, "What's in this thing?" Well, contrary to what some disgusting people belief, hot dogs are not made from the male parts of animals. The process is much more elaborate, but still pretty disturbing. First, all the unused meat left over is gathered in one giant grinder on a factory floor. This meat is made up of parts considered undesirable in its current state. Not wanting to let all that undesirable meat go to waste, hot dog manufacturers ground them up into a slimy paste, which is then poured into tube molds. The product of the solidifying meat is what we call hot dogs. Just think, all those different parts of dead animals considered undesirable being crushed together until it forms a thick, squishy paste. That's what we are putting into our bodies when we eat hot dogs.
