I've left some art masterpieces on elementary school desks never to be seen again. I think we've all had that experience where we bust out our mechanical pencil and draw a work of art only to rub it away a few minutes later so we don't get caught. Or we'd draw that weird S logo made out of lines. You know the one I'm talking about. What is that thing anyway?
Whoever drew the ice cream cone on this desk went all out. They added color and everything to ensure their hard work wasn't going anywhere. Are we sure this isn't the work of Banksy? It has his distinct sense of meta social commentary, or maybe I'm just reading too much into it. Whoever did it, it is the perfect drawing for the specific situation when someone is wearing a Gene Simmons shirt.
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.
