Since when do people eat activated charcoal? Am I missing something here?

[-] tiefling@lemmy.blahaj.zone 52 points 2 months ago

It's frequently used to make food appear black. It has some legitimate uses but food shouldn't be one of them.

used to make food appear black.

just one question: why??

[-] Nastybutler@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago
[-] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 months ago

because black drinks and food look so tasty...

Do you know what Halloween is...?

[-] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

yes, we decorate our homes, dress up as spooky creatures, eat pumpkin related foods,... and apparently some people consume stuff that contains activated charcoal? for some reason?

[-] Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

People make bowls of eyeballs (peeled grapes) intestines (spaghetti) and chopped fingers (hot dogs). Spooky foods are a staple, and so is the orange/black color scheme.

I don't think capitalism is to blame for having Spooky Food at a Halloween party.

Can you expand on this?

Yet another dumb trend that completely passed me by.

That article needs a rigourous editing from someone that doesn't think crystals can purge toxins.

[-] m4xie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 months ago

Crystals can remove ingested toxins from the body if you shoot them out a cannon at someone and blast their stomach out.

Since they started giving birth orally.

[-] 5714@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 months ago

Pukebirth sounds like a band name.

[-] smuuthbrane@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 months ago

Why burn your food for that harsh crunchy texture? Just eat activated charcoal instead, no need to spend all that time and money burning food, just pure taste sensation!

[-] hopesdead@startrek.website 7 points 2 months ago

Years ago it was a trend to put activated charcoal in stuff like toothpaste and milk based coffee drinks.

[-] Voyajer@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Still is for toothpaste at least

Do you guys not take it against gas? That's a common item in medicine cabinets where I am.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

I use simethicone for gas.
