We don't know where Johnny Galecki's career would be if it hadn't been for 'The Big Bang Theory,' but then we also don't know if 'The Big Bang Theory' would have been such a success if it wasn't for Galecki, so the two things together worked out for the best. Because so much of his appearance in the popular sitcom is the work of the costume department, it's not always easy to spot him when he's out of character. He's actually racked up a few movie credits over the years, including the ill-fated Will Smith superhero movie 'Hancock.'
He's so strongly associated with the show that for a lot of people, he'll probably always be Leonard. We imagine that doesn't bother him all too much - it's believed he was being paid just under $1m per episode for the final season, so he probably never has to work again if he doesn't want to. Not bad for a guy who was once told he was too short to make it as an actor, at 5 foot 5.
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.
