Should You Be Eating Activated Charcoal? | Eater
"An Austin creamery that introduced charcoal-black ice cream as a Halloween special which proved so popular it returned frequently to the rotating menu; the owner experimented with squid ink and black sesame before choosing activated charcoal for its smooth incorporation and slight, fine crunch, and uses very small amounts (only a few ounces in an 18-gallon batch) so each scoop contains a tiny quantity of charcoal." - Amy McCarthy
