For a kid in the 90s, a trapper keeper wasn't just a thing, it was a necessity. Unlike normal binders, the trapper keeper would trap and keep. Those two actions are key when you're a kid. I don't know if you've ever seen how a kid handles important files, but it's not well. I wouldn't trust them with your tax documents or anything. Kids (and some adults) haven't yet learned how to put their stuff away without it falling everywhere. That was the genius of the trapper keeper.
All you had to do was shove all your crap into the trapper keeper and then zip it right up. Kids don't care if their paperwork is wrinkled and messed up. Not like me, an adult who stresses out if there's one crease on my paper.
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.
