Were you even a '90s kid if you weren't obsessed with Free Willy? We can still remember begging our parents to go see it multiple times at the cinema. Jason J. Richter played the lead role of Jesse, who had what had to be the coolest summer job a kid could have. He also starred in the rest of the trilogy, Free Willy 2: The Adventure Home and Free Willy 3: The Rescue.
After Free Willy, Richter also starred in The NeverEnding Story III and Cops and Robbersons. He even guest starred on television series, Sabrina the Teenage Witch. When the time came, Richter left his acting career to pursue his education. He has since returned to Hollywood but hasn't starred in anything major yet. We're sure he's still doing okay after all of the success he achieved in the '90s, though!
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.
