Most actors don't go through as many career transformations as John Travolta has. We got to know him as Danny in 'Grease,' and then he took his movie-musical talents to the next level in 'Saturday Night Fever.' Nobody back then would have looked at the sprightly Travolta and thought 'He'll make the perfect movie hitman one day,' but that's exactly what we got when he was cast as the iconic Vincent Vega in Quentin Tarantino's 'Pulp Fiction.'
Of all the transformations Travolta has gone through, though, the one which saw him play a woman in 'Hairspray' was surely the most extreme. Travolta bulked up as well as changing sex, which meant that he became almost unrecognizable in the part. There's still something about his facial features that gives him away, even under all those prosthetics. He may not have made a convincing woman, but he certainly put his whole heart into it.
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.
