We can just about get on board with the name 'Moxie.' It's unusual, but it isn't absurd. Poor Moxie's middle name, however, is the sort of thing that she'll never own up to unless forced to by someone inspecting her official documentation. 'CrimeFighter'. Was this an aspiration about her future profession from her parents? Were they hoping that she'd grow up to be Batgirl?
Having an unconventional name is often the product of having unconventional parents, and that's definitely the case for this thirteen-year-old. As her surname suggests, her father is the legendary magician Penn Jillette of 'Penn and Teller' fame. We bet her mother Emily Zolten sometimes wishes she'd decided to have children with Teller instead. He famously doesn't talk, and so she'd have been left in peace to come up with a sensible name.
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.
