I personally love it anytime I see someone wearing a costume in public. That's with the exception of being in Times Square or Hollywood Boulevard. Over there the people in costume expect you to give them money for taking pictures with them. I'm not into that. If I wanted a picture with Elmo, I'd bust out my Tickle Me Elmo and a selfie stick. I wouldn't hug up next to a guy who smells like feta cheese in a grimey red costume.
Seeing a superhero character doing normal real world stuff is just so tickling to me. This picture makes the situation even more epic by creating a stare down by two of nerdom's most badass characters. Who would win between these two? My money is on Darth Vader, though I don't think it would be a wash.
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.
