Somewhere, there's a princess waiting on a rescuer that's never going to come, because Mario's been distracted by all the money-saving offers in his local Walmart. There's no sign of Luigi anywhere, but there's absolutely no way that this man has left the house without being completely aware that he looks exactly like one of the most famous and beloved video game characters of all time.
The red cap and the t-shirt are on point, but we're going to have to dock him points for the beard. If he really wanted to commit to the part, he'd shave that fine facial fuzz off and leave himself with a classic handlebar mustache. We can't quite see what he's buying, but we really, really hope it's mushrooms. Perhaps he offered to pay for his goods by sorting out any plumbing issues the store might have encountered.
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.
