At first glance this looks like a normal, boring picture. At second glance it also looks like a normal, boring picture. At third glance it looks that way too. It's not until you know the story behind the picture that it looks different. Not like a Magic Eye picture different though, so don't put your nose up to it trying to see a hidden tiger or anything. Trust me, I checked.
It turns out that the day and moment this picture was taken a bomb threat had been called into the school. No one knew who it came from or if it was real. Everyone was terrified. Cut to this dude literally telling everyone that he's the bomb. I don't think it made him any friends. Luckily the bomb was fake. The only thing damaged was this guy's reputation.
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.
