Hit Clips was a ridiculous idea that also makes a lot of sense. I could go to the store right now and buy a terabyte of storage the size of my pinky nail. That wasn't always the case. Everything used to take up a lot of space. Hit Clips were a way for someone to carry around music with them on the go. The problem was that the Hit Clip music format was only big enough to carry parts of the song. You'd just get the chorus or a verse. It was hilariously stupid, but popular at the time.
Kids would walk around with a Hit Clips player and a dozen Hit Clip chips clacking around on their backpack. "Hold on one second. I need to listen to fifteen seconds of music."
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.
