There was a time when the National Lampoon name meant something in film. I know that seems like an impossible time when you think back to movies like 'National Lampoon's: Gold Diggers' or 'National Lampoon's Presents Dorm Daze,' but those aren't what I'm talking about. I'm talking about movies like 'Animal House' and 'Caddyshack.' Those movies literally changed comedy. 'Gold Diggers' made you want to change the channel.
The movie stars Will Friedle who played Cory Matthews older brother in the long-running show, 'Boy Meets World.' I think this was his move at transitioning into film, and specifically more mature roles. This movie follows a couple of guys trying to marry older, rich women for their fortunes. I'll give them credit for this: that actually sounds like a movie that would be in theaters. The problem is that it doesn't sound like a GOOD movie.
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.
