"Hey, Mark, Carrie, and Harrison. The Stormtroopers want to take a photo with you. I know you hate it, but let's just do it." That's what it looks like happened here. Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford were not into it, but Carrie decided to make the most of it, which is very typical of Carrie Fisher. I think you can see in this picture why she was known for being such a delight on set. She could make a dark room turn bright as the sun.
At the time this probably seemed like a photo just like any other these people might have taken. But for fans, this is a special moment to see. We probably all have pictures that are like this (sans the Storm Troopers), but ours don't carry the weight that this photo does. Star Wars truly is something special.
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.
