In case it helps your movie going experience, Max stands for Mysterious Alien Creature. That's right. It's an acronym, just like another similar movie by the title of E.T., an acronym for Extra Terrestrial. That's only the beginning of the blatant rip offs in this movie. There are some things in this movie that are very different than E.T., but overall it's a blatant attempt at co-opting E.T.'s success.
The cool thing about this movie is that it's about a disabled boy in a wheelchair. You don't see too many movies starring disabled main characters. Too bad they wasted it on this bizarre movie. The main problem is that the aliens don't look cute at all. They look like monkeys who've been shaved bald. I'll take my monkeys hairy, thank you.
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.
