Glow Stars were little white pieces of plastic in the shape of stars that came with sticky putty to make them stick on your wall or ceiling. I think these are still around and pretty popular too. Glow Stars were an important part of growing into an individual. When a kid put up their first glow stars on the ceiling, it felt like they'd claimed who they were as a person. The funny thing about that is that everyone had them, so it wasn't that individualistic, but it sure felt that way.
Glow in the dark is a pretty popular feature when it comes to anything, but is it really that cool? Have you ever seen anything that glowed impressively in the dark? It's always a weak, faint glow. The science aspect of it is cool, but that's about it. Don't ask me to explain the science aspect of it though. I have no idea how it works. I just think it's cool that it does work.
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.
