so that the burger is green, also.

Thanks, y'all, for echoing my first thought. Might as well have green poo in the alleys to match all the green puke in the gutters.

There is enough grease in just one, to drown a horse. I try and stay away now from fast food in general since it is the reason I gained so much weight in the first place. I quit drinking sodas too.

My body thanks me for it.

When you eat McD's breakfast and feel the need to purge your gut, but it just isnt happening quick enough. You go to Taco Bell for lunch and get one of those meaty beef burritos and a couple tacos. Problem solved so fast you might consider eating lunch in the bathroom stall.

Black food dye contains a lot of indigestible green dye. Eat food with black food coloring, and prepare for a surprise.

I know this, because licorice did it to me, and the doctor laughed at me when I asked about it. "Like licorice?" he asked. He knew what the problem was immediately.

Don't eat the black buns.

My boyfriend summoned me to the bathroom the other day to discuss and analyze the brilliantly shamrock offering that floated forlornly in the toilet.

After an hour of webmd sleuthing and diagnoses of at least a dozen incurable diseases, I stumbled upon this information on Reddit.

Three days later, the bathroom is still emitting a strange radioactive glow. I just want this to end, because I cannot endure one more excited beckon from the back of my apartment, "Oh my god, you have to see this one!"

No, I really don't.

For whatever reason, I never ate a lot of beets growing up. My wife loves them and roasts them to perfection.

Long story short, I thought I was going to die without immediate medical attention.

To be honest...it did turn green, scared the crap out of me - I had no idea at the time! Should have had that exam?

My young daughter who also had a Black Burger put 2 and 2 together...

Do you recognize a similar sub-theme in Stephen King's "Cujo"? And of course the ultimate toilet horror of his novel "Dreamcatcher"?

Reality catching up to SK.

Happy Halloween!
