As characters go, they don't come much smoother talking or looking than Don Draper, as memorably played by Jon Hamm in 'Mad Men.' Draper is the sort of salesman who could persuade you to buy sand in the middle of a desert, and has the kind of finely-tailored look that oozes sophistication and class. Based on this photo, Hamm was already in training for the part from his teenage years onward. Most boys on prom night look like kids in their father's suits. Hamm doesn't.
He hasn't quite got the million-dollar smile down yet - that will come with time - but he's clearly happy to be posing for pictures with his date. They've even managed to hold hands without it appearing to be awkward. That's how it's supposed to work! We can always rely on Hamm to show everybody how it's done - even if he wouldn't buy anything from him.
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.
