It's no secret that Jason Frank loved his time as Tommy Oliver, and the continued fan praise at conventions and online has meant he's always willing to don the suit one last time. But in 2013, it looked like the character would be permanently retired. He no longer appeared in the TV shows Power Rangers Wild Force, SPD, or Super Megaforce, although he would cameo in a few of the episodes.
However, the new cinematic reboot might change all that. Released in March of this year, the Tommy Oliver character is absent for the entire film, but it is hinted towards the end that he will return for the sequel. Whether it will be Jason Frank playing him is up for debate - according to him, they might be looking for a female actress to portray the character.
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.
