Elvis Presley is just Justin Bieber for the older generation. That may seem like an inflammatory statement for Elvis fans, but what part of it isn't true? You may not like Justin Bieber, but your parents probably didn't like Elvis at the time either. Elvis was known for both his music as well as his movies. This is a shot from Viva Las Vegas which he starred in alongside Ann-Margaret. It is arguably his best movie. In Viva Las Vegas Elvis plays a race car driver who has to work at a hotel as a waiter with Ann Margret's character. Their romance buds and the rest is rom-com history.
Some people have controversial opinions about Elvis, like those who claim he stole music from black artists. Even without having stolen any music, there are still legitimate arguments that he gained popularity in the blues genre because he was a white man.
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.
