"She's All That" is one of the great romantic comedies of the late 1990s, grossing more than ten times its budget at the box office. It was a great vehicle for Freddie Prinze Jr. and Rachael Leigh Cook, and had clearly been written by someone with a great eye for how relationships work when you're at high school. What either the writer or the director was less clear on was how tattoos work.
Early on in the movie, we see Cook, playing Taylor, getting a heart tattoo on her shoulder - something which was quite edgy at the time. By the time we reach the climax of the movie and she gets to the prom, the tattoo has disappeared. Either Taylor has the kind of makeup that a professional makeup artist would be proud of and she's managed to cover it up completely, or whoever filmed that scene hadn't been paying attention to the first half of their own movie.
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.
