Nov 2 2007Charcoal Toothpaste Looks Like Sludge
Charcle is a Korean charcoal based toothpaste. It is black, looks like sludge, and probably doesn't taste like licorice. A DesignNotes tester had the following to say about the product:
This morning I tried it for the first time, the experience ended up being less pleasant then I first thought it would be. I was fine seeing the black stuff on my brush, it wasn’t until it went into my mouth when my stomach started to turn. Near the end I barely could brush my tongue and when I spit it out to rinse I felt a bit queazy. In the end though my mouth did feel clean, but I’m not sure if the weirdness that I felt would be something I’d want to do again.
So there, it's surprisingly unpleasant. Never would have guessed that. Now from what I remember (which is very little) I think charcoal is what they use to pump my stomach when I've "had too much to drink". Whatever that means. Just because you're caught humping a parking meter doesn't mean you've "had too much to drink". No sir. It just means you have fine taste in quarter receptacles. And trust me, parking meters are some of the best -- right up there with arcade games and old cigarette vending machines.

is charcoal good for your teeth O_o?
If it is I think a bit more effort into making it palatable would've been nice...

#5, it certainly isn't as poisoness as flouride!

As counterintuitive as it sounds, charcoal is supposed to make your teeth really white.

I had to drink charcoal once. Miserable experience. I was high as all hell, and I barely remember the hospital, save for the way the charcoal tasted, and felt.
