And Just Like That, Goth-Friendly Charcoal Foods Were Canceled

It turns out those highly Instagrammable, pitch-black "goth" foods were far edgier than we could have ever imagined. According to a new report in Eater, the Department of Health says that activated charcoal is currently banned from all food- and drink-serving establishments in NYC. A spokesperson for DOH told Eater that the rule isn't new, but enforcement has increased.

Morgenstern's Finest Ice Cream, that NYC ice cream shop that caused a mini frenzy in 2016 over their popular jet-black ice cream, reportedly had to dump "$3,000 worth of product during a routine inspection," per owner Nick Morgenstern. The ice cream shop posted a cryptic Instagram in late May that hinted something was afoot. The ice cream, which they've been making since 2015, uses coconut ash—a form of activated charcoal. "I don't see any evidence that this is actually a question of public health safety," Morganstern told Eater. "I would challenge someone to identify the public health safety risk of that ingredient."

    "How dare you!"
    "No, how dare you! I can't believe you'd suggest doing such a disgusting thing!"

    Two men could be heard arguing in the park. Each of them were furious enough to scare away most onlookers, and so no one had stopped their heated argument quite yet. This continued for a few more minutes, but just when the argument was about to escalate into violence, a third man - who had been observing the situation all along - approached them and calmly said, "Now, now. Settle down, gentleman. I believe I have the perfect compromise that will satisfy everyone involved." Then, the man elucidated his idea; after that, it did not take long for the plan to be put into motion...

    Later, two men could be seen standing in the park near a large tree; both of them appeared to be in a state of ecstasy. One of the men had been directly involved in the previous argument, and the other man was the one who suggested the compromise. These two men were overlooking a magnificent scene with expressions full of delight. What caused them to be in such a state? Justice.

    It was true justice. A man - who had also been involved in the previous argument - could be seen hanging from the tree, lynched; his body was in tatters, suggesting that he had been tortured beforehand. Surrounding the tree were countless naked children; not a single one of them moved even so much as an inch. This was a scene that would undoubtedly bring joy to anyone's heart, and it was all thanks to the art of compromise.

    And what a fair, just, and wondrous compromise it was.

    Ahh, the art of true, skillful trolling. How I've missed it.
