12. Can't Buy Me Love

12. Can't Buy Me Love

Absolutely everybody had a great time at the festival. The bands loved playing to a crowd that big. The audience loved being played to. The revelers loved being in a huge open community where sex and drugs circulated freely, and nobody wanted to start any trouble. It was the Summer of Love and three days of absolute bliss, where the party never stopped, and nobody went to bed. The only people not enjoying a second of it were the organizers.

As we already know, nobody paid to get in. That means there was no money to pay the bands. Some of the acts, aware of the problem, demanded to be paid in cash before taking the stage. This meant the organizers had to persuade a local bank to open on a Saturday - unheard of at the time - and allow them to withdraw money and pay their performers. If they hadn't have done, the festival would likely have become a complete bust.

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.
