11. The Not So White House

11. The Not So White House

We're not here to lecture you on politics. You didn't come here looking for it, and we don't specialize in it, so we'll leave that alone. What we will point out, though, is how you can interpret this picture however you wish because of the way that Haderer has positioned the flies. They're not clearly heading in one direction or the other.

If you're a big fan of the current White House situation, you could see this as a picture of the flies being cast out as the current President cleans things up. If you're not, you could see it as a swarm descending on the famous old building as everything turns to... well, you know what. People from both sides could have this poster on their wall, and believe it means different things. Popular art is something that people can look at and apply their own interpretation to. Therefore, this is popular art.

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.
