31. Asking For Directions Wasn't Easy

We imagine that choosing where to camp wasn't the easiest process. Half your mind is already busy trying to remember where you abandoned your car, you're surrounded by way more people than you were expected, and the site is filling up fast. You just want to get your tent set up and explore your temporary surroundings, so you're likely to just set things down in the first clear space you can find. And then you have to find it several hours later, in the dark. Possibly whilst high.

The path names laid out by the organizers didn't really help matters. Imagine the conversation. 'Do you remember where we put the tent, man?' 'I don't know, dude, I think it was on High Way. Just off Gentle Path'. 'High Way? Are you sure it wasn't Groovy Way?' 'I dunno man, it could have been Groovy Way, too. I dunno. I'm high'. Perhaps choosing street names that weren't part of everyday hippie conversation might have been a better idea.

Did You Know...

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.
