Video: How Pork Rinds Are Made
Many things are probably more thrilling than watching thousands of pounds of pork skins transform from flaccid pink squares to puffy deep fried snack. But you just can't look away—the conveyor belts and tubs full of pork pellets pull you into a vortex of meaty wonder. So, after the jump, watch this video from the History Channel's Modern Marvels and you might wanna pop open a bag of pork rinds afterward. Or never again.

Yum, pork rinds. I wonder what that 'top secret' white powder they threw into the vat was.

I'm half Filipino, half German. If you ask either half of me what my favorite part of the chicken or pig is, the answer is always, "The skin." Roasted and lacquered.

I love the totally unconscious self-censoring of their language. "The product." "The material." Call it what it is: the golden-fried skin of a delicious pig.

Yep. I don't care if it's skin. I still love it and don't really get why seeing floppy pink skin going down a conveyor belt is any different than seeing bloody muscle tissue get ground up in a machine to make burgers... but to each her own, I guess.
