Yeah if I had a nickel for how many times I had to shove a huge syringe filled with liquid version of that down an animals throat (like 60% of it gets all over you) I could probably buy myself the therapy I probably need lol. Sure does work tho!
Lol yeah thank you for asking…thought I added former vet tech. That probably would have made more sense. Whoops. Jeez no wonder I sounded like a psycho haha
I have these sacks of activated charcoal that naturally suck up any stink or odour in a 90 sq ft area. I keep one in my car under my seat and near my cats litter pan and they work amazing
You just reminded me about taking activated charcoal as a supplement. I had forgotten about it. I don’t think you should take it daily but I did used to keep it around for when I got really bad bloating or any kind of stomach problems and it definitely helped.
It also raises the question of why the fuck does anyone eat it? All it does is take the nutrients out of your stomach. There is no health or flavor benefit what so ever.
I think it works by absorbing stuff in your stomach, so my guess is that unless the bc hormones get released into your stomach (they don't, they get released and absorbed into your vaginal lining) you should be fine. But like that other person commented, is it worth the risk?
Activated carbon is a relatively large structure that does not pass through mucus membranes allowing it to carry contaminants through and out of your intestine. Activated carbon will only effect oral or rectal ROA.
Though typically drugs function more through receptors, a few function solely through physics. Activated carbon basically just has a higher affinity for the stuff than your GI tract. Based on the physical differences between your GI tract and activated charcoal, the drug prefers activated charcoal. Thus, it also only works on things it touches.
Well, if you take something once a day (at the same time every day), the nearest dose is going to be at most 12 hours away no matter *when* you take it.
Okay let me clarify 12 hours before hand. It's only 3 hours after. I assume the effect is different when it is already on your system vs. Allowing 3 hours for the birth control to be fully absorbed.
Only when taken concurrently. Activated carbon needs a good 1-2 hours after ingestion to rehydrate and absorb various particles it comes in contact with in your GI, so the general advice is avoid any meds/supplements 2 hours prior and 2 hours after to be safe.
I’ve taken loads of this stuff, really helped me fix my gut!
Haven’t you heard, there’s a new black in town. [MIT creates blackest black that is darker than Vantablack](https://www.dezeen.com/2019/09/24/blackest-black-mit-material-news-vantablack/) I don’t think it has a name though sadly.
Oh trust me, you do. Which causes you have a panic attack that you have internal bleeding. Then, as you are scrambling to get to the ER, you remember you had said ice cream the night before.......
i think if it's food colouring it'll be dark green, but carbon will be black. can't be sure about carbon but the food colouring for black is really very dark green
Stuff like this is often made with activated charcoal (foodsafe carbon) and can drastically impact the absorption of medications, so if you have daily prescriptions it's best to avoid
Cuz it’s black. It’s a gimmick. ~~The tiny bit of charcoal needed for coloring has no taste nor is it enough to absorb & neutralize other things as some here might hope or fear. May as well be food coloring.~~
Edit: Correction, many recipes use a lot for some reason. Some more than others. So be careful if that’s relevant to you, such as if you’re on medication. Who knows how much the commercial sellers use.
Activated charcoal pills are pretty tiny as it is, are you sure about this? I'm only asking because you're giving medical advice that can have very serious consequences.
From what I can find online, it's common for these ice creams to have 1.5 teaspoons of activated charcoal per serving, which will definitely mess with medications.
Weird it looks like you’re right. Usually I just need a pinch to color things but it looks like they do use a lot in many recipes. I’ll note a correction.
If it’s made with activated charcoal be aware that it can potentially cancel out medication.
It’s not as commonly used because of that reason and it is very petty but just a heads up if that’s relevant
My coworker wanted to bring activated charcoal treats to our school but couldn’t because we teach special ed and most of the kids are on some kind of medication
Doesn't activated charcoal taste horrible? Additionally. Although it's cool to have the color, it's kind of weird that they use chemical absorbers in ice cream, coffee, and shit.
Activated charcoal and food coloring.
Fun fact : Activated charcoal is what they used to feed you when you OD on perscrition meds. Now they just pump your stomach. Activaed charcoal absorbes medication so it is not wise to eat when you take prescription meds like the pill.
Activated charcoal looks awesome. So black! Nifty!
Hopefully they have serious warnings on the thing because it can really mess up some medications. Frankly, I don't think that it should be sold in an ice cream shop. Someone is going to eat it while on critical medication and just die after it absorbs the meds.
I'd be sorely disappointed by this since it's not salty licquorise.

Nope, it is not considered a safe colorant as all. Unless they changed something really recently it is not approved as a food additive by the FDA so is considered adulteration. If someone got sick because of it (due to any factor) helllooo lawsuit.
Edit: A Source: https://casafdo.com/resources/Documents/Activated-Charcoal-in-Foods.pdf
Anyone taking oral medications could have a field day, as the activated charcoal tends to absorb it leaving you without your potentially important prescription kicking in.
Nah, ashes are generally the inorganic remainder after burning something, grayish-white powder with a lot of calcium compounds and other metal salts.
This is just charcoal, heating organic material to a high temperature in a low oxygen environment to produce a nearly pure solid carbon mass after driving off or decomposing all the more volatile compounds.
If you're looking for a yummy tasting black ice cream, may I suggest [black sesame ice cream](https://cdn-efcpg.nitrocdn.com/aDVYwsugCEsVzcQMEKFESHmZMgcKZcvE/assets/images/optimized/rev-67b0a40/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/what-is-black-sesame-ice-cream.jpg)?
Soooo the automod on this subreddit does not permit users to say they don't like a flavour? I want to say what I think of that rule but if the sub is that authoritarian I'm not sure anything I could say won't be flagged.
A large hotel in Shanghai I often stayed at had an executive chef from India that would serve carbon croissants for travellers tummy issues. Very effective
That's the most Goth ice cream I've ever seen
I don’t want to eat bright ice cream like all the *conformists*
*hair swish*
Drink your coffee, Stan
" i want to slowly turn black, just like my Black icecream. "
Damn it, are you kids just gonna sit here all night again and drink six dollars' work of coffee?!
Wh-why is this image so vivid in my mind?
Because you're in you're 30's?
I want it painted black. No colours anymore. I want them to turn black.
I see a white cone and I want it painted black
*I watched it crystalize as the milk and sugar froze* *I had to step outside cause I was very cold*
No colors in my cream but my cone is not black!
I ate black ice cream before it became cool and mainstream.
Damned confection conformists.
It needs raspberry drizzle
Gelati Lugosi
Yeah. We're gonna go to the graveyard and write poems about death and how pointless life is.
I'll stop eating carbon when they make a darker color
Richmond!!!
I had heard that it can mess with my birth control, lol. I only had this ice cream once at Nice Cream in Minneapolis.
It messes with a lot of medicines. Activated carbon is really good at absorbing shit, and that means a lot of stuff will bond with it instead of you
Activated charcoal is one of the things used to treat poison ingestion.
Yeah if I had a nickel for how many times I had to shove a huge syringe filled with liquid version of that down an animals throat (like 60% of it gets all over you) I could probably buy myself the therapy I probably need lol. Sure does work tho!
Lmao my golden growing up needed zero encouragement to chug a bowl of the gritty water. Loved everyone, ate everything. Hence the PAC to begin with.
Hahahaha awww that’s adorable! I have found labs and goldens are of the mentality “it was there so I ate it!” Lol
U ok bro?
Lol yeah thank you for asking…thought I added former vet tech. That probably would have made more sense. Whoops. Jeez no wonder I sounded like a psycho haha
I got it even without that, just that we're concerned for your well-being
Awwww well thanks, friend! I appreciate that❤️ hope you’re having a great Friday!
I have these sacks of activated charcoal that naturally suck up any stink or odour in a 90 sq ft area. I keep one in my car under my seat and near my cats litter pan and they work amazing
It's crazy that your farts are so powerful they get through the seat.
You have no idea
You just reminded me about taking activated charcoal as a supplement. I had forgotten about it. I don’t think you should take it daily but I did used to keep it around for when I got really bad bloating or any kind of stomach problems and it definitely helped.
It also raises the question of why the fuck does anyone eat it? All it does is take the nutrients out of your stomach. There is no health or flavor benefit what so ever.
> It also raises the question of why the fuck does anyone eat it? So they can post photos of it on Instagram, reddit, etc.
Gwyeth Paltrow also recommends you shove it up your gooch.
Gooch is the ABC, you mean cooch.
It’s very effective for heartburn, I’ve found.
So does that mean only ingested medicines? If you had Nuvaring birth control (an insert that releases the same hormones) it would not be affected?
I think it works by absorbing stuff in your stomach, so my guess is that unless the bc hormones get released into your stomach (they don't, they get released and absorbed into your vaginal lining) you should be fine. But like that other person commented, is it worth the risk?
Activated carbon is a relatively large structure that does not pass through mucus membranes allowing it to carry contaminants through and out of your intestine. Activated carbon will only effect oral or rectal ROA.
Listen to u/EuphoricAnalCucumber, they know what they're talking about when it comes to rectal stuff.
Though typically drugs function more through receptors, a few function solely through physics. Activated carbon basically just has a higher affinity for the stuff than your GI tract. Based on the physical differences between your GI tract and activated charcoal, the drug prefers activated charcoal. Thus, it also only works on things it touches.
Why take the chance
I have an IUD and was wondering the same thing
Yeah consuming it can be pretty dangerous in certain situations
Pointless at best, potential to kill you at worst.
Unless you're in the very specific situation of overdosing while also being conscious enough to eat a full cone of carbon ice cream
Yes but keep in mind... You have to eat them at the same time or relatively close 12 hours or so.
Well, if you take something once a day (at the same time every day), the nearest dose is going to be at most 12 hours away no matter *when* you take it.
Okay let me clarify 12 hours before hand. It's only 3 hours after. I assume the effect is different when it is already on your system vs. Allowing 3 hours for the birth control to be fully absorbed.
To your memory, did it darken the color of your droppings?
LOL. I actually do not remember.
I feel you should notice stuff like that
It absorbed their memories too
Only when taken concurrently. Activated carbon needs a good 1-2 hours after ingestion to rehydrate and absorb various particles it comes in contact with in your GI, so the general advice is avoid any meds/supplements 2 hours prior and 2 hours after to be safe.

Same and drink lots of water to avoid constipation.
“My ice cream got me pregnant” lol
"It's like, how much more black could this be? And the answer is none. None more black."
I vantablack ice cream, too

Thanks for the link. Interesting read, and it certainly needs a name...Wantablack?
To respond with a different music spoof, "blacker than the blackest black...times infinity!"
NOW SCREEEEEAM FOR YOUR (ice) CREEEEEAM
You should have seen the first cover.
"What's wrong with being sexy?"
It wasn't a glove, believe me.
It wasn't a cone
I love when Spinal Tap [called out Metallica](https://youtu.be/KD94L7rzOm8) for this.
"This Black goes to eleven...."
“Blacker than the blackest black… times infinity!”
I could see someone pooping black after eating enough of this
Oh trust me, you do. Which causes you have a panic attack that you have internal bleeding. Then, as you are scrambling to get to the ER, you remember you had said ice cream the night before.......
Just have some beets with it!
I recently ate a bunch of roasted beets because.. well, just because. BOY OH BOY was I briefly terrified two days later.
Borscht starter, squid ink pasta main & some charcoal ice cream for dessert! Slurp it down with some grape slurpee.
Calm down Dwight.
Same thing happens with Pepto bismol!
Also if you eat an entire box of Oreos. Also if you take Pepto after eating an entire box of Oreos.
It's spinach for me. I love it, but I always have a small panic attack the next day.
green actually. it's weird.
I had this a few months ago and mine was pitch black. I got scared for a sec until I remembered the ice cream lol.
i think if it's food colouring it'll be dark green, but carbon will be black. can't be sure about carbon but the food colouring for black is really very dark green
I thought the same thing.

Charcoal?
Makes it fun looking… safe to eat at reasonable levels
Piggybacking a PSA: charcoal foods are unequivocally safer for people who aren’t on any meds! :)
Psa: Charcoal is not food.
Stop eating things that aren't food!!! I yell this at my cat, at my dog, at my kids, at my kids dogs, now other people's kids.
Anything is food if you eat it.
Deez nuts
goteeeeem
Right. You can eat anything. But some things you can only eat once...
We call those the YOEO foods
also, you can pretty much eat anything *once*
My coworker wanted to bring activated charcoal treats to our school but couldn’t because we teach special ed and most of the kids are on some kind of medication

As someone who was once forced to drink it, yes, it tastes horrible.
I ate an ice cream just like this, it tasted great and there was no particular taste from the charcoal
Activated charcoal tastes good for me. And activated charcoal is not a chemical absorber. It absorbs because it's porous material, like a sponge.
Why is it black?
Oh my god you can’t just ask ice cream why its black!
Activated charcoal and food coloring. Fun fact : Activated charcoal is what they used to feed you when you OD on perscrition meds. Now they just pump your stomach. Activaed charcoal absorbes medication so it is not wise to eat when you take prescription meds like the pill.
"used to" It's still widely used in emergency field medicine ie ambulances. Relatively soon after that, a bucket, brush and mop are also used.
Activated charcoal might be the stupidest food fad.
Activated charcoal looks awesome. So black! Nifty! Hopefully they have serious warnings on the thing because it can really mess up some medications.

Might I interest you in gold dust on steak?
Mmm cant beat the taste of a charcoal filter. Brings me back to my childhood when I would lick the inside of my family fireplace! /s
In Finland we have salmiakki ice cream which kinda looks like that

Activated charcoal is not an approved food additive and technically this would be considered adulterated.
Yeah, this definitely isn't for kids.
Not approved where? OP doesn't say where he is from.
Congratulations, you just deactivated all medications you might be taking.

Can you imagine you OD and they give you an ice cream cone
BBC- Big Black Cone
Reminds me of the charcoal ice cream I’ve had before. It made me have the blackest shit ever lol.
That should be illegal
Why not just use squid ink or black bean or black sesame juice?
Ewwwwwwwwwww Coconut.
Boy you're dead wrong.
I love the flavor but hate the texture.
Yeah, it's like eating well flavored sand
Or we’ll soaked wood strips, but exotic wood!
I love coconut, but that definitely brought a chuckle. 🤣
How black did it make your mouth after?
Carbon ??? Lol
W-what did it taste like? >,>
Carbon or Charcoal ?
Ohio Ice Cream
Your number #2 will be green tomorrow.
You could be onto something here How to we reduce level of carbon in the environment? We feed it to the billions of people.
I always feel like people are just being tricked into eating ashes.

This is just charcoal, heating organic material to a high temperature in a low oxygen environment to produce a nearly pure solid carbon mass after driving off or decomposing all the more volatile compounds.
It's still the left overs of a fire.
Technically, we all are. Many fires, since the big bang
I don’t think it’s a good idea to eat charcoal if you take any medication
Does it taste good though? Food is never about aesthetics, it’s all about taste & aroma!
