Before he was Galactus, the world eater, Galactus was just a normal humanoid alien. This was all before the Big Bang. I know a lot of you Stephen Hawking fans are thinking, "what do you mean BEFORE the Big Bang?" This is comic book land, people. Stick with me. Before the Big Bang, everything was sucking up into one little egg of matter, including his planet. As it sucked everything in, the Phoenix Force (the same one that inhabited Jean Grey in X-Men) resurrected him as the Big Bang happened. Thus, Galactus was formed.
What does a creature reborn out of the Big Bang eat? Planets. Makes sense. At first he was pretty chill about eating planets. He'd only eat the ones that didn't have any life on them, but after a while you start to run out of places to eat.

Who would have thought that young millennials would be into rum? These barrel-aged, small-batch rums are the latest trend in booze, and now even British companies such as Essexs English Spirit are joining in. The spirit is one of the most popular and versatile forms of alcohol, whether it be sweet or strong, dark or white, neat with ice or served with coke.
Nowadays, people have become more accepting of imperfection; when it comes to fresh produce that is. Imperfect Produce is just one of the grocery delivery companies that serve physically flawed fruits and vegetables. This effort is geared toward reducing waste, and the disfigured foods are often turned into hummus, crisps, and juices.
Various Asian restaurants have been popping up recently, and Sri Lankan cuisine is slowly making its way to the western palate.
