I really like this movie. I'll admit it. I left the theaters singing its praises while many others couldn't fathom how anyone could have enjoyed themselves watching it. That doesn't mean that I can't see that it's a giant turd in some ways, but I still liked it. One of my main gripes, as well as other people's, is how Apocalypse looks. He looks like Ivan Ooze from the Power Rangers movie. The Apocalypse from the cartoon looked awesome. Why not just make him look like that?
There was also a minor controversy with this movie. One of the billboard depicted Mystique being choked by Apocalypse, so some people were upset that it was glorifying violence towards women. I don't know about that. I think audiences see a poster where a man is choking a woman and they assume that he's a bad guy and must be stopped. Whatever. Be mad.
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
