Americans waste over two billion pounds of toothpaste every year from not being able to get it all out of the tube. That's a made up number, but it certainly sounds about right. It's always a battle with the toothpaste tube. Will I get every drop out of you? Or will you win? To continue the war analogy, this toothpaste roller is the nuclear bomb. No morsel of toothpaste is safe from it's rolling onslaught.
I've never seen toothpaste come in anything other than a tube. Are there jars of toothpaste that I could try? I'd just dip my brush in there. No one else would want to use it, but that's fine. I'm not trying to share my toothpaste anyway. Somebody take that idea to Shark Tank. Toothpaste in a jar! Let's disrupt the market.
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.
