David Copperfield may be capable of some of the greatest magic tricks the world has ever seen, but even he couldn't conjure himself a tropical island out of thin air. He had to pay for it, just like everybody else does. He has gone a little further than the other people we've discussed so far though - he didn't buy one Bahamian island, he bought four.
Nobody knows for sure how much Copperfield paid for the islands - so perhaps we can't completely rule out magic after all - but we can tell you how much other people pay for the privilege of enjoying them. Copperfield converted Musha Cay - the largest of his islands - into a guest resort, keeping the other three for private accommodation. Five-star service awaits visitors, including a private chef and butler service. That's probably the least you should expect for $37,500 per night.
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.
