Haderer's skills as a caricaturist are absolutely on point here. Anybody who's had an uncomfortable time on a long-haul flight has either seen or pulled every single one of these facial expressions. Everything you recognize from flying is here. The surprising and unexpected conversation with a stranger a couple of rows back. The uncomfortable seating situation. The outright fatigue and obvious discomfort of the gentleman in front. Why do we put ourselves through it? Well, to travel of course.
We don't think there's a hidden meaning in this image. Haderer titled it 'Airports Suck', and it might just be the product of a bad journey he's had. Nobody likes to be stuck on a plane that's full of sweat and bad smells, they have nowhere to go and they just circulate around. If that's what prompted him to put pen to paper on this occasion, I think we can all relate to him.
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.
