No one really knows the reason but it is widely believed that the reason for the worm was to show the strength of the alcohol. If it pickled the worm and kept it from breaking apart then the mezcal was strong enough and not watered down. Mezcal really gets the short end of the stick often and a good Mezcal is just as enjoyable as a good tequila.
