This sounds simply too unbelievable to be true, but it's been verified by Harold Rosson, a cinematographer who worked on the movie. There's something really very remarkable about the jacket worn by Professor Marvel in the film.
When they were designing the professor's costume, the production team decided they wanted something that was clearly once elegant and stylish, but now battered by time and frayed round the edges, much like the professor himself. They found the exact item that they wanted in a thrift store. It was only some time later that someone examined it more closely and found the name of the original owner sewn into the fabric. It was L. Frank Baum. Somehow, they'd walked into a thrift store and accidentally bought a jacket which used to belong to the same man who'd written the story they were making a movie of. What are the chances of that?
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.
