OK, ice cream cone. Here's the thing. I'll let you slide on the cone. Maybe the dipper machine got a little lazy and didn't give a full dip, but what I find inexcusable is the lack of chocolate on the top of the cone. That's just not right. The chocolate on the top is meant as a protective barrier for the ice cream. Without it, all could be lost. That's not to mention the false advertising involved here.
There are two types of ice cream trucks. There are the standard trucks that sell all the prepackaged ice creams like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cones or Wrestling sandwiches. Then there are the ones that have soft serve cones. I'm all about those soft serve trucks. Those are the only trucks I'm down for. Don't come into my neighborhood with that prepackaged stuff.
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.
