All watermelons have an inedible outer shell. Given how tasty they can be during the hot summer months, many people have wished that a larger part of the watermelon could be eaten. Their complaints pale in comparison to what happened to this guy. The person who posted this photo on Twitter had literally bought the worst watermelon in the universe. It was brave of him to even attempt to post this thing on social media.
Buying a watermelon like this is the same thing as buying a Chinese-knockoff iPhone that charges to 103% and then bricks itself. Although to be honest, in comparison to the knockoff iPhone, this watermelon *shouldn't* explode, although that can't be confirmed at this point. Who knows what kind of weird genetics this watermelon carries?
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.
