Yvonne Craig was Batgirl on the 60s Batman television series, known for being extremely campy and silly. You may know it from the onomatopoeias that would blast on the screen whenever Batman punched or kicked. Whack! Bam! Boom! Yvonne Craig was a ballet dancer and actress, which helped her be a nimble crime fighter. In the show, Batgirl is the alter ego of a librarian/police chief's daughter. This is roughly her backstory in other iterations of the character as well.
Unfortunately, the show only lasted a year after she became a part of it. Batgirl wasn't her only role though. She also starred in movies like Gidget, It Happened at the World's Fair, and Kissing Cousins. She is out of the acting game now. No, she's not a librarian. She is a real estate broker.
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.
