We don't think there was much wrong with this picture in the first place. It's a nice shot of two people having a great time out on the water. They're happy and smiling. They wanted Fridman to make it look like they were in danger, but if he'd put a couple of sharks in there, it wouldn't have fit their mood. Who would look that happy about being surrounded by dangerous creatures?
As many people who write to Fridman have now found out, you have to be very careful about how you phrase your requests. 'Dangerous waters' could mean anything. They didn't want him to put them in a simmering pot of pasta, but it's water, and it's definitely dangerous! Plus, the smiles make more sense now. If you somehow found yourself in a situation as absurd as that, laughing about it is probably all you could do.
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.
