Who knew there would be a time we would look back on and say, "that was the time when you always dreamed of being slimed." I guess we're currently in a weird time like that where we can say, "this is the time where people eat Tide Pods." Every era has different quirks, I guess. Being slimed was definitely a quirk, but it wasn't as stupid as eating Tide Pods. Getting slimed was honorable. It meant you were connected to the all mighty Nickelodeon.
The cool thing about Nickelodeon is that all the shows had the unifying factor of slime. If you didn't have an idea for your episode, just slime someone. Nickelodeon would always clear something getting slimed. It's like they were producing the slime and selling it to themselves in some weird scheme.
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.
