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

fr it seems like cocoa is much more likely
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.
yes but consider this, we could contenue giving it to the Borgious of NYC
Exactly, the black Salt is very bourgeoise and like quintuples the price of regular drink rimming salt.
there is a very low chance this has charcoal in it.
You're probably right; chances are they're using a CANCERMAKER 5000 compound
Getting blackout drunk then chugging a Sonic Blackout to pass the breathalyzer test
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.
Some studies point towards activated charcoal interfering with medication.
As always, consult your doctor before consuming anything that could fuck up your medicine.
This seems to be about medical uses where the dosage is orders of magnitudes bigger than in food coloring
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.
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
depends how much charcoal is in it and when/how the medication is supposed to be absorbed

If it is made with cyanide DO NOT DRINK IT as cyanide is highly toxic and will kill you.
looks like a double unstuffed oreo drink
If your dog eats chocolate though...
@boontavistapod for the psa psegment
This is very likely not true, but you still shouldn't drink this.
