I think there's a general rule that once you add certain things to a product, it's no longer that product. Let's take a human being for example. If you add wings to a human being, they aren't a human being with wings, they are an angel (or devil, depending). The same thing with a sleeping bag. It's a sleeping bag because it's a bag. You don't call it a jacket without arms. If that's the case, why is this even classified as a sleeping bag? This is just a comfy onesie.
Don't get me wrong. This is exactly what I want the next time I go camping. What they really need is a crotch hole though. I want to be able to walk out of my tent and go whizz outside. What's the point of this mobile-tent if you can't pee freely?
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.
