Paint it Black: The Rolling Stones
Reminds me of a long-forgotten private-eye show called Vega$. Main character Dan Tanna (Robert Urich) had a friend/client who owned some of the casinos, Philip Roth (Tony Curtis). Occasionally, Roth would mention various innovations he was trying.
Roth: Here, try this. [hands Tanna a cone filled with black ice cream]
Tanna: What flavor is this?
Roth: Black.
That’s large amounts, such as the amount you would need to be therapeutic for toxic ingestions. As someone who works with liquid activated charcoal, I can attest it wouldn’t take much to turn ice cream black. I can’t imagine it would cause side effects other than making your stool super dark to black.
I haven’t tried it but did you see it on the Scandinavian cooking/food show?
Ice cream flavored with yummy, yummy charcoal? Pass.

Actually, that does look pretty cool.
Someone clearly had a vision.
“You know what the world needs? And would be a business I could invest money and sweat into making happen because the world will be a better place because of it? Ironic black ice cream in a shop called Little Damage.”
It looks very cool. I still don’t get it.
Yabbut, what if someone is eating ice cream in therapeutic doses (5-6 [Del]pints[/del] gallons)? That might have enough charcoal to absorb medications, mightn’t it?
