Here's a meme that you'll see on a daily basis, often posted on the Twitter feeds of politicians, or those in positions of authority. It's also been posted when a celebrity has attempted to take to social media to give a laughably poor excuse for their latest bout of infidelity, or bad behavior. The question posed by the image is always the same - why are you always lying?
Nick Fraser, the man behind the meme, did indeed say those words. He wasn't trying to question us though; he was just singing his own version of the song 'Too Close' by Next. As an entertainer, he was looking for fame and attention when he posted the cover online. He definitely got all of it - just not quite in the way he was necessarily expecting. He's rolled with it though, and is still trying to turn his meme exposure into a music career.
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.
