Viewers often speculate that the apparent feces are actually food substances such as refried beans, ice cream, or peanut butter.{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ADv_AwAAQBAJ&pg=PA68|title=Technologies of sexiness : sex, identity, and consumer culture|last1=Evans|first1=Adrienne|last2=Riley|first2=Sarah|publisher=Oxford University Press|year=2015|isbn=9780199914760|location=Oxford|page=68|oclc=880808720}} Some speculate that the vomit is real, but was regurgitated before reaching the stomach and does not contain any gastric acids. In the video, the majority of the vomit does not enter the mouths.{{cite journal|author=|title=2 Girls 1 Cup and Many Reactions|url=http://www.break.com/article/2-girls-1-cup-and-many-reactions-2744683|journal=Break.com Journal|publisher=Break.com|date=5 August 2014|access-date=4 December 2014|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141223155022/http://www.break.com/article/2-girls-1-cup-and-many-reactions-2744683|archive-date=23 December 2014}} The director, Marco Antônio Fiorito, unsuccessfully argued in a criminal court proceeding that the excrement was actually chocolate ice cream.{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=GZXSBQAAQBAJ&pg=PA49|title=Pornography and The Criminal Justice System|last=Cusack|first=Carmen M.|date=3 December 2014|publisher=CRC Press|isbn=9781482260021|page=49}}

The video originated from a Brazilian distributor and pornographer, Marco Antônio Fiorito (born 1 July 1971, in São Paulo),{{cite web |title=Fiorito's court statement |publisher=The Smoking Gun |url=http://www.thesmokinggun.com/file/2-girls-1-cup-real-poop?page=0 |page=1 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121021205509/http://www.thesmokinggun.com/file/2-girls-1-cup-real-poop?page=0 |archive-date=21 October 2012|date=12 June 2014 }} who describes himself as a "compulsive fetishist". Fiorito started having interest producing films in 1994, and in 1996, with his wife, Joelma Brito, using her artistic name Letícia Miller, he began a fetish film business and soon moved on to coprophagia. The film was produced by MFX Video, one of several companies owned by Fiorito.

Authorities in the United States have branded some of Fiorito's films as obscene and filed charges against Danilo Croce, a Brazilian lawyer living in Florida, listed as an officer of a company distributing Fiorito's films in the United States. Fiorito explained that had he known that selling his films in the U.S. was illegal, he would have stopped. In his declaration he stated "I would have stopped because the money is not the main reason that I make these films." He then added, "I have already made fetish movies with scat/feces using chocolate instead of feces. Many actors make scat films, but they don't agree to eat feces."

The first few seconds of the 2 Girls 1 Cup video contain the text "MFX 1209" (the production code for Hungry Bitches) and the URL mfxvideo.com, the website of Fiorito's MFX Video, leading some in the media to incorrectly believe the video is one of the many Croce had to surrender to the Department of Justice but was somehow leaked in the process.{{cite news|first=Steve |last=Huff |title=2 Girls, 1 Former Attorney General |work=Radar Magazine |url=http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2007/11/2-girls-1-former-attorney-general.php |date=29 November 2007 |access-date=8 December 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090831111539/http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2007/11/2-girls-1-former-attorney-general.php |archive-date=31 August 2009 |url-status=dead}}{{cite news |title=Two Girls One Cup: Danilo Simoes Croce |publisher=Anorak News |url=http://www.anorak.co.uk/twitterings/178072.html |date=1 December 2007 |access-date=8 December 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071213095530/http://www.anorak.co.uk/twitterings/178072.html |archive-date=13 December 2007 |url-status=dead}}
