8 years ago a grandma accidentally texted a young man she didn't know about Thanksgiving. They've gone from strangers to family to business partners

In 2023, Hinton announced on Thanksgiving that he and Dench had gone from "family" to business partners, launching an alkaline black water called BlackMP.

What the hell is "alkaline black water" ???????????

Like the other person said, a scam, but to give the claim...

Black water or alkaline black water is power-packed with minerals such as magnesium, calcium, sodium, and potassium.

Sounds like my well water if you boil off some of the water.

Its distinct colour is attained by the elevated alkaline water pH that ranges between eight to nine.

PH doesn't change the color. A thing that changes PH may also change the color but the PH itself is not responsible.

God they could have just sold T-shirts or something. Fuck them for supporting pseudoscience.

it does if you drink a mix of 1-propanol, phenolphthalein, sodium hydroxide, sodium bisulfite, methyl red, bromithymol blue, and thymol blue.
