The Tampa Bay Buccaneers already have a pretty intense helmet design, especially compared to teams like the Greenbay Packers and the 49ers. I mean, a skull and crossbones hits a little harder than a G or a 49, no offense to either team. There is something visually striking about the menacing skull, although that also means it can come across as a little childish.
These new designs really lean into the skull design, making it even more prominent in some cases. The giant skull in the bottom right might be easy to see from the stands in a stadium, but that's a pretty big cartoon skull. The bottom right strikes a good balance between the cartoonish skull and a more refined design. Ultimately, I'm not sure the candle apple sheen of the top right design is the right look for a football team.
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.
