Full disclosure - we don't even know if this guy is a real gladiator. We mean, he definitely looks like one and he is definitely wearing gladiator-style armor. But we're not quite sure what the deal is with the dead bear on top of his head. This is way more over the top than a bearskin hat - it's an actual full bear perched up there! Animal rights activists would certainly have something to say about this if it happened in modern times.
Luckily for us, we don't have to worry about ever encountering men wearing dead animals as hats. Or the activists that would surely be making noise about it. Let's be grateful for that and start hunting for the three differences hidden in these pictures instead. A little hint: they're not in the bear hat.
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.
