Pork Soda is the third studio album by the American rock band Primus. It was released on April 20, 1993, by Interscope Records and Prawn Song Records. The album was certified gold in September 1993 and platinum in May 1997. The 2005 reissue comes in a digipak and contains a booklet with lyrics printed to nine songs, omitting "Pork Soda", which consists of a series of unintelligible rants. Claypool explained the term "pork soda" was meant to refer to how Primus – a band that, in his eyes, wasn't suitable for radio play – was "an acquired taste, like a meat-flavored soda would be", and that "Pork Soda is the exact opposite of what people want from a soda these days. It’s got all the cholesterol, all the calories". The album debuted at number seven on the Billboard 200 chart, which some music critics considered surprising considering the group's uncommercial sound. It became the group's first top-10 album and sold half a million copies. Singles from it include "My Name Is Mud" and "Mr. Krinkle". The album was performed in its entirety for the first time at the Fox Oakland Theatre on December 31, 2015.
