We've seen a lot of novels turned into films so far in this list, and this is another. The American-produced 2013 comedy-drama 'Geography Club' is based on an original text by Brent Hartinger, brought to life for the big screen by the twin-brother writing and directing team of Edmund and Gary Entin.
As with 'But I'm a Cheerleader,' this all takes place in a high school, and is about a stereotypical jock character not doing what stereotypical jocks are supposed to do. The school's star football quarterback Kevin is wanted by every girl in school, but he's secretly in a relationship with Russell, who helps him with his heterosexual pretenses by also going on dates with girls himself. As they meet other gay characters inside the school, they form a 'Geography Club' so they can be themselves in peace, thinking nobody else would be interested in joining such a society. They were wrong.
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.
