As I study more of these pictures (and by study I mean look at a couple of them for a couple of seconds), I think I begin to understand them more. You know how people have photo booths at their events nowadays? Those photo booths always have a bunch of props like large sunglasses, silly hats, and swords. There must be a table of props just out of frame of all these photos. That would account for all the umbrellas. I can't help but doubt that many people were constantly around umbrellas.
It is important to note that taking photos was a much more sacred activity in the past. Now I just bust out my phone and talk pictures of girls as they walk by. My girlfriend keeps telling me I need to stop doing that.
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.
