>>21943134I wonder when they first figured out that eating charcoal might help with stomach issues. I bought some charcoal pills once and took them with me when eating at the house of some folks I barely knew, just in case they decided to do the old “deathcap in the food” prank.>>21943134>cramming at oxfordDo bongs really?
Are they actually good for stomach problems/flatulence? If so, did we stop using them because they cause cancer or something?
