OK, so we didn't keep you waiting all that long to find out whether Matt Stone was on the same list as his best buddy Trey Parker. They're both officially listed has having $500m, but Stone has a few bags of change more than Trey, and that sees him come in a little higher up.
It's hard to separate Stone's successes from Parker's, as they've largely been achieved together. Neither of them seems to want or need to work away from the other (and why should they? Look at all the money they've earned!), and they remain committed to each other for the long term, founding a film production company called 'Important Studios' together in 2013 so their work can continue. Their next big project is rumored to be a film adaptation of 'The Book of Mormon' and if it enjoys anything like the same success as the musical, it will see both men get even richer.
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.
