Here’s what you need to know about Lawson Bamboo Charcoal soft serve:

In a Facebook post of Lawson Philippines, they announced the comeback of the Bamboo Charcoal soft serve starting September 4. This swirl-all-you-can dessert is a sweet, milky vanilla soft serve but instead of the usual white, it's color black... as black, as dark as one’s broken heart. Its color comes from the activated charcoal that’s thoroughly mixed in with the soft serve.

Just in case you're not familiar with activated charcoal, this added ingredient does not alter the taste or smell of the dessert. Basically, it's just there to add color, and some research states that it may even be good for detoxifying the body. (Take that with a grain of salt.)

Compared to its previous price of P35 back in 2021, Lawson’s Bamboo Charcoal soft serve’s price went up and now costs P55 for a cup. It's available at select Lawson convenience stores as of now, so better hurry and see if you're one of the luckier people who can get to try it right as it's relaunched.
