If George Foreman's boxing career had happened in the current day and age, he'd have been able to retire with the kind of money that Floyd Mayweather currently earns. Sadly for George, he was born in the wrong era, and although he was Heavyweight Champion of the World twice and fought in one of history's most famous matches against Muhammad Ali, Foreman arguably never got paid what he was truly worth.
He's got that money now though - and plenty more to go with it. Foreman signed an endorsement deal with a company that had designed a brand new 'fat reducing' grill for the kitchen and wanted a celebrity partner to help with the marketing. Foreman gets paid a percentage of every unit sold - and so far, that's more than one hundred million grills. He's earned more as a salesman than he ever did as a boxer. Just don't tell 80's wrestler Hulk Hogan - he turned the endorsement deal down!
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.
