Everyone loves the muppets, right? The Muppets are practically an American institution. They are like football. THey go hand in hand with Americana. Does that mean that you would spend close to $1,000 bucks for one of their VHS cassettes? Probably not, but there is most likely one Muppet die hard who would pay that hefty price. I wouldn't exactly trust that person alone around puppets though, if you know what I mean.
Emmet Otter's Jug Band Christmas was a TV special featuring the Muppets based on a children's book by Russell Hoban. It didn't have a huge print run so finding the tape is hard to do nowadays. That's why it costs so much money after all. If you ever end up digging through your old Muppets memorabilia and find this, hang onto it and become rich!
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.
