  Everyone has cancer these days. Back in my time nobody had cancer because we ate our fruits and veggies and none of this woke organic BS
Amateur hour!

Lucky charms can do this with a single bowl.
- Boo Berry will turn your poop blue with one bowl.
- As a bonus, they also destroy my gut. So when I cave to the crave every few years I pay for it, and then marvel at the dyes while I clean the toilet.

Had an "Eclipse" burger this April that had a "black" bun like this. Definitely wasn't expecting the vibrant green dump, but it didn't take too long to make the connection. Kind of funny once I realized nothing was seriously wrong, hah.
I'd call that a feature.
It was so wild! Mine looked like a stone with an emerald hue. I was not expecting the green at all. It was a time when I went to burger King more frequently to meet a friend who was sick so I tried it with no advanced notice of the repricusions.
Pretty sure this won't be coming to the European markets.

Pfft... When I drink a single can of Monster Energy, my poop is not just green; that shit glows. It also makes my pee fluorescent.

So does purple Kool-Aid.
Yeah, it was pretty cool.
They also did a burger that was black bun. Your poop came out black. Or so I've heard.
- The black bun used a lot of green dye to make it black. That's what the link is about.
