As well as being bass player with one of the most famous punk rock bands in history in the Clash, Paul Simonon could levitate, as we can see here. And if you think we're wrong, you tell us where the chair is in this picture. He's clearly still practicing the whole 'creative destruction' thing though, as a single upturned beer bottle isn't going to get anybody excited.
Giving us his best punk pout, with what looks like freshly tailored and sloganized clothes, Simonon looks ready for his big break and he's about to get it - the photo was taken at the Royal College of Art in London in 1976, the year before the Clash released their debut album and began the process of replacing the Sex Pistols as the leaders of the movement.
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.
