Probably made in Mexico and they've decided to put a worm in each filter, like with Tequila.

You should have dumped the burnt trash bag bits out on a paper towel to drain, then provided pics.

I know I should have taken pics.. sorry!

Why would that produce black looking sludge?

I dunno. Its about as thick as sludge.
