Black Bun Whoppers Causing Green Bowel Movements

[Duke87]

Even three Oreos will turn stools jet-black.  Though I like them, I rarely eat them because they compromise the diagnostic value of stools (black stools are one symptom of bleeding in the colon).

I've eaten many more oreos than that in one sitting and never noticed any odd fecal coloring resulting from it.

Of course different people's bodies have different capacities to break down certain substances, so YMMV with this sort of thing.

fecal coloring

All right. The AARoads Forum has now reached its zenith. Do we even bother keeping it going?

Make a mental note when you eat beets so you avoid a panicked call to the doctor the next day.

Some types of Golden Delicious apple have a quite astonishing ability to make you think you have diabetes and a bladder infection--the symptoms of which all go away when you change to a less sweet cultivar like Gala.

Print it out and put it up in the restroom at work.

Licorice

Certainly it has a laxative effect (and there's other issues with eating too much), but it doesn't turn you poop black. Trust me, I've been close to ODing on liquorice before.

Golden Delicious are the worst apples - they taste of next to nothing, and have a horrible mushy texture (like type 5 in the above diagram!). Everything gets better if you stop eating them!

IIRC, the dye used was squid ink.

I'd like to try squid ink, but I don't think it can be procured without hurting the squid, which I would prefer to avoid because I rather like them as animals. (I did eat calamari once, though. It was okay.)

never eat prunes when you are famished.

Similarly, the only animal I feel bad about eating is cuttlefish, because they are such spectacularly interesting animals.

cuttlefish and asparagus ?

All of the cephalopods (cuttlefish, squid, octopus) are really interesting. Octopuses in particular are extremely intelligent and can display very human-like behavior. I saw a story from someone who owned an octopus that had somehow managed to get a hold of a bendy straw to play with. The owner was concerned that the octopus would injure itself and took the straw away. The octopus would, for the next week, very pointedly turn and face the corner of the tank whenever the owner entered the room.

FWIW, I stopped by the BK near me last night and noticed that the Halloween Whopper is no longer listed on their menu by the cash registers (though a window poster still remained).  I'm guessing that they've stopped offering it and are dropping/dropped it.

Everyone probably knows eating asparagus makes your pee smell like asparagus.---
I once ate a large number of green grapes & had a  bm shortly after. My poop was green, it freaked me out.
I got online to investigate, it turned out to be normal b/c my stomach hadnt properly digested the grapes so I cancelled the ambulance 

[hbelkins]

I think I read somewhere that one feature of the Halloween Whopper was that it has A1 sauce on it.

First place I ever saw that offered A1 as a condiment on a burger was Five Guys. That's what I usually get on my burger anytime I go to Five Guys.

[empirestate]

How have we gotten this far into the thread without anybody pointing out that "black bun whoppers" could refer to both the cause and the effect?

"Honey, I ate too many black-bun Whoppers, and now I got me a turrible case of the black bun-whoppers!" (Read it in a Hank Hill voice, it's funnier.)

The A1 is in the bun itself. Baked in

I don't like eating lamb or veal because of the meat coming from baby animals. The tastes of those foods don't do much for me though anyway, so I don't feel torn about not eating those.

Note To Admins, this is fake, it is a prank someone did online, it is really a baby ruth candy bar in a toilet bowl.

The veal industry has a serious image problem from the stories out there of how it treats the calves.  Lamb is one of the most delicious things on earth to me.  Neither one gives me a stronger feeling of guilt than eating adult animals, because I suspect the animals all equally dislike being killed. 

Now, when a lamb starts turning its fur the color of the ground at any given moment, we'll talk.

In the US, lamb refers to any ovine meat - including what other English-speakers would call mutton.

We do have mutton that is referred to as such.

Yes, but the US authorities don't demand it (and haven't since 2010).

I remember this quote from Spongebob Squarepants.

"What can we get for a dollar?"
"With $1 you can get this fake dollar, to (don't remember)"
"Nah. What else do you have?"
"Fake vomit"
"No."
"Real vomit?"
"Ew."
