Did any of us go through childhood without watching and then obsessively re-watching The Wizard of Oz an embarrassing number of times? Come on, we know it wasn't just us - it's one of the best movies in Hollywood history! It truly has stood the test of time and continues to be watched all over the world.
Released all the way back in 1939, it's no surprise that the quality of the film is nowhere near the level of modern day cinema. However, this doesn't seem to bother most audiences and The Wizard of Oz is still a favorite in many households. Who can resist a young Judy Garland?
What most people don't realize is that some ridiculous stuff went down on this movie set. We're not kidding when we say your jaw will drop at some of the outrageous incidents that happened while filming. Sit back as we take you for a wild ride that is even more unbelievable than Oz.
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.
