Gene Simmons signature tongue has been a staple of rock and roll music for a long time. Ever since KISS took the stage, the game has changed. Before Gene Simmons, no one thought you could stick your tongue out like that and still rock. He proved them all wrong. Not anyone could have done that either. He's got an unnaturally long tongue. That combined with the weird face makeup and you have a look that brands you for life.
Gene Simmons knows the power of his tongue. I'm sure some lucky ladies do too, and maybe even a few lucky ice cream cones, if you know what I mean. He uses that thing a lot. If you're going to be sticking that thing out all the time, you better have it insured. They don't make bullet proof vests for tongues.
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.
