Unless someone can post the ingredient list that says activated charcoal this is probably not true.

[-] combat_brandonism@hexbear.net 30 points 8 months ago

fr it seems like cocoa is much more likely

Or it might be licorice flavoured. I don't know why anyone would want a licorice milkshake, but who knows.

When I was a bartender, a major scandal rocked my industry.... Black Salt. It's cool looking, great to use to salt the rims of some drinks.

However, some bartenders and more drinkers didn't know it was made with charcoal. As such, it ended up doing more praxis for the revolution than all of Hexbear combined when it killed some older Finance Bros im New York City, by blocking their nitro for their heart.

So NYC banned it outright. Typical lib response.

Typical lib response.

A ban is reasonable here: shit can kill people, isn't remotely necessary, and its current use cases are far from anything you could feasibly regulate.

[-] ComradePupIvy@hexbear.net 30 points 8 months ago

yes but consider this, we could contenue giving it to the Borgious of NYC

[-] BioWarfarePosadist@hexbear.net 6 points 8 months ago

Exactly, the black Salt is very bourgeoise and like quintuples the price of regular drink rimming salt.

Figures, the only Black thing they like is Rock.

Getting blackout drunk then chugging a Sonic Blackout to pass the breathalyzer test

[-] YearOfTheCommieDesktop@hexbear.net 43 points 8 months ago

there is a very low chance this has charcoal in it.

[-] Posadas@hexbear.net 42 points 8 months ago

You're probably right; chances are they're using a CANCERMAKER 5000 compound

[-] Stoatmilk@hexbear.net 39 points 8 months ago

I would be a little skeptical about this, activated carbon is used to color black licorice, and if that made birth control pills not work I'm pretty sure it would be bigger news.

[-] WittyProfileName2@hexbear.net 28 points 8 months ago

Some studies point towards activated charcoal interfering with medication.

As always, consult your doctor before consuming anything that could fuck up your medicine.

[-] Stoatmilk@hexbear.net 24 points 8 months ago

This seems to be about medical uses where the dosage is orders of magnitudes bigger than in food coloring

[-] WittyProfileName2@hexbear.net 16 points 8 months ago

That's true. In retrospect I also think I'm kinda comparing apples to oranges, since the drugs in those trials were also all administered intravenously so likely had a different rate of bioavailability when compared to your average prescription medication.

According to that study, activated charcoal seems to screw around with enteroenteric circulation, so I dunno if that might affect how well drugs that are taken orally are absorbed.

I might have a look further into this, see what studies I can dredge up.

[-] livestreamedcollapse@lemmy.ml 2 points 8 months ago

Yeah IV administration is definitionally 100% bioavailable; there might be some degree of the IV drug effluxing from the bloodstream, across the gut lumen, back into the intestines where orally administered charcoal could absorb it. However orally administered drugs will definitely be absorbed by oral charcoal

[-] JohnBrownNote@hexbear.net 17 points 8 months ago

depends how much charcoal is in it and when/how the medication is supposed to be absorbed

[-] Tabitha@hexbear.net 18 points 8 months ago

looks like a double unstuffed oreo drink

[-] zifnab25@hexbear.net 12 points 8 months ago

If your dog eats chocolate though...
