The world has an order to it. For example, when we're teaching children different words, we'll tell them that a spoon is something that you find in a kitchen. Is that the only place you find a spoon? No, but it's unlikely that you'll find a spoon in most other places... right?
Wrong! Sometimes a perfectly normal thing can turn into something totally weird just by being in the wrong place at the wrong time. You'll see what I mean in this list of common things found in really weird places. It's as if these items were trying to play hide and seek - and did a really great job of it.
Most of these will have you scratching your head as to how they got there. Most of them will also make you laugh simply for how silly they are. That's what life is all about, after all. It's about being surprised with joy as much as possible. Hopefully you find plenty of surprise and joy. I think you will though. Especially with #45.
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.
