Earlier on, we had strong words about Nicholas Cage choosing to name his son 'Kal-El' after Superman. We have slightly more sympathy for Kevin Smith and his wife Jennifer Schwalbach Smith when it comes to the name of their nineteen-year-old daughter Harley Quinn Smith. She may also be named after a comic book character, but far few people were as familiar with Harley Quinn back then as they are now. Margot Robbie's iconic portrayal of the character in 'Suicide Squad' probably wasn't celebrated in the Smith household.
Anybody who knows anything about Smith knows that he's a big comic book fan, and has taken influences from comic books for many of his popular films. His actress wife clearly indulges in the passion as well. As for Harley Quinn herself, she's embraced her name. She's appeared in a few of her father's films, but her true passion appears to be music. She's currently the singer and bass player of the soft punk band 'The Tenth.'
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.
