It's no secret that Elvis Presley had a way with the ladies, and we're not saying his female guest here isn't enjoying his company, but it's Sammy Davis Jr. who looks like he's getting the biggest kick out of things - whatever the King is saying, it's got him in stitches. Maybe they're discussing his blue suede shoes, who knows!
This picture was taken in Las Vegas in 1970, but neither man looks to have got the memo about fashions changing over time; Davis every bit the 1950s Teddy Boy and Presley looking like he's forgotten where he parked his motorbike. It's all too much for the man in the sensible suit, who really looks like he'd rather be anywhere else. Perhaps it's his girl the King's talking to?
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.
