I can't decide if this is a grapefruit hating joke or an "in this economy?" joke

It’s a “everyone is on some sort of antidepressant “ joke, at least to me.

A lot of psychoactive medicines will literally just kill you if you eat grapefruit lol.

In the one medication I know about, grapefruit prevents your body from filtering the medication out of your blood, eventually causing the levels in your blood to become lethal

It's lovely when someone shows their inability to stop and think by making blatantly mindless comments.

It's lovely because it's absolutely hilarious.

Well at least my activated charcoal infused orange juice doesn’t affect anything.

Imagine if you were being held at gun point and the only way to save your life was to tell a joke, and this was the joke you chose to tell.

On the topic of drug interactions, make sure you are not taking Allegra for allergies. Oh, wait -- you said activated charcoal? Nevermind.
