They say to never meet your heroes. They may disappoint you. Or you may disappoint them by wearing a way-too-geeky shirt. For me, one of my dreams would be to meet George Lucas. He's the godfather of Star Wars. Without Star Wars, my life would have been much different. Sure, I would have gotten laid more, but I wouldn't now own four replica lightsabers. It's a trade off.
This Star Wars fan met the elusive George Lucas on the street and was lucky enough to snap a photo with him while wearing this "Milk, I am your father" t-shirt. I understand that someone would like Star Wars so much that they'd wear a Star Wars parody shirt, but he's that big of a fan of milk too? Come on, guy. Save some ladies for the rest of us.
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.
