Christopher Walken hasn't spent his whole career looking like Fat Tony from 'The Simpsons,' but in recent years the veteran actor has become, shall we say, a little larger than he once was. If you comb his hair and put him in a suit jacket, the transformation is complete. Walken is a legendary actor even to other actors, and can play any role he puts his mind to. Often, he plays eccentric criminal characters - and we're sure you don't need us to join the dots for you.
Fat Tony is a mafia boss in 'The Simpsons,' and has been a popular recurring character for years. He's even survived a highly questionable storyline, in which the 'original' Fat Tony was killed off and replaced by his thinner brother, who put on weight and simply assumed his brother's identity. Like Walken, Tony has a distinctive speaking voice and a brooding, unsettling presence. Unlike Walken, he's never been in a music video for Fatboy Slim.
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.
