It's hard to believe that the only reason we have some of these iconic creatures and robots is because an actor was willing to be stuck inside the costume for hours. Those costumes are not comfortable. Imagine if I shoved you in a trash can and made you roll around making beeping noises? You probably couldn't pull it off. I mean that you couldn't pull the trash can off. You're too fat. OOOH! Burn! But really, it would be hard to act while inside some of these costumes, so major props needs to be given, even if all the acting you're doing is rolling around.
Thank god for the little people. They definitely need to give more roles to little people, but their stature has made for some iconic roles, like the munchkins in Wizard of Oz, or any short robot/creature in Star Wars.
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.
