I know what you're thinking when you read that New York City hot dog cart is in a list of six-figure jobs. First you're thinking, "how is that possible?" Then you're thinking, "wow, a hot dog sounds delicious right about now. Where can I get one?" As you can see, the second question answers the first question. People simply love hot dogs, and they love convenience. When you put those two things together, you have a money maker. Considering this can be an individual enterprise, you're talking about a lot of take home money.
While something like a professional chef or a line cook might seem more respectable than a hot dog vendor, that's just bigoted thinking. It's also incorrectly bigoted considering that hot dog vendors can make even more than a line cook or chef. Hot dog vendors all throughout the US bring in about $100,000 annually. Hot dog vendors in a high-traffic location during a weekend celebration will bring in an average of $1,200 in 2-3 days.
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.
