James L. Brooks is a producing legend. He's responsible for some of the greatest TV shows of all time, like 'The Simpsons,' and some of the greatest romantic comedies of all time like 'Say Anything.' Too bad we've already learned that you're only as good as your last movie. Despite having a great cast, this movie tanked in the box office, and it was also panned by critics.
The stars in this movie are aplenty. Paul Rudd. Reese Witherspoon. Owen Wilson. Jack Nicholson. I've often found that the more stars a movie has in it, especially a romantic comedy, the worse the movie is. The movie usually only has each actor for a couple days or less, so the movie just ends up being a disjointed mess with no chemistry. Of course, this is just a theory. I think you'll find that I'm mostly right.
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.
