FFPI #2: Blogjam’s Pepto-Bismol Hangover Ice Cream

Armanstein — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 23:15:32 +0000

Many people swear by the hangover curing abilities of Pepto-Bismol, the over-the-counter medicine normally used for relieving upset stomachs. Other people like home hangover remedies like Ice Cream (something which I didn’t even know could help hangovers). While other people decide to combine both Pepto and icre cream to make the ultimate hangover medicine / frozen treat. Actually it’s only one person that I know who has done this. He calls it Pepto-Bismol Ice Cream.

This is an idea and prototype created by Blogjam. His post is definitely worth reading and docments the process and thought that went into the creation of his functional hangover curing ice cream. Hillarious is his emails between Pepto-Bismol company representatives on whether it was safe or not to freeze their medicine.

His email:

I am a long-time user of Pepto-Bismol. I like the fact that it is extremely pink, and find it very useful for coping with alcohol-induced bouts of digestive trauma.

But can you cook with Pepto-Bismol? I am thinking of making some Pepto-Bismol ice-cream, and want to know if there are any dangers involved.

Pepto-Bismol’s response:

Hello and thanks for your e mail.

Pepto-Bismol is a strictly controlled medicine and should only used as a remedy to relieve the symptoms of an upset stomach.

Definitely read the rest.

Hopefully with the success of his prototype we’ll soon see Vanilla Pepto-Bismol Ice Cream right next to Ben and Jerry’s Chunky Monkey. This could be especially useful if you are using any of these concealable flasks.
