These men need to invest in better office facilities; the ventilation is where they are is wonderful, but it's never going to pass a Health and Safety examination. We're not sure we'd want to be cooped up on a window ledge with people who look that glum, either.
The key to decoding this image comes from the headline of the paper: "Börse", meaning "stock market". The "stake" in the title makes more sense then, too. The image encourages us to be sympathetic towards people who we normally aren't - stock brokers. We like to think of them as greedy, rich and ruthless, when in fact they're as human as the rest of us, and they're constantly one poor decision away from complete disaster. As the image points out, they live their life on the very edge. One step in the wrong direction and it's all over.
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.
