The reason you would buy packaged cookies over making them yourself is that you get a uniform cookie. The perfect cookie, in some respects. Sure, homemade cookies are inferior in taste and texture, but they come out in weird shapes and there is a chance that you screw up banking them. Not store bought cookies though. Or at least that's what I thought. Look at that burnt-ass cookie. That doesn't belong in a package among golden beauties.
I never trusted those keebler elves anyway. I don't trust three adult men who live together. I don't know what they're up to. It seems nefarious. I think those keebler elves are terrorists. They're planning something in that tree. The cookies could even be a part of it. I'm not saying boycott keebler cookies. I'm just trying to share the facts.
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.
