The coolest thing about Care Bears was that you always felt you could count on them. No matter what their particular power was, it was there to help people, particularly friends of the Care Bears, in need. Well, how great is it that your vintage Care Bears from the '80s can still take care of you? That's right, some of these guys sell for quite a lot of money online.
The main categories you'll see are plush Care Bears, Poseable Care Bears (which were like little figurines), Miniature Care Bears, and plush Care Bear Cousins (remember Brave Heart Lion, Swift Heart Rabbit, Lotsa Heart Elephant, and the rest of the cousin gang?). Some original Care Bears and Care Bear Cousins have sold for more than $1,000, so it's time to start sorting through your old stuff!
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.
