Woodstock would have been one of the greatest experiences and memories of your whole life if you were lucky enough to attend it, but it was just as big a moment for the bands and singers who performed there. Many of them had never performed for a crowd even half this size before, and nor would they ever again, so they had to find time to sit back and drink it in. That's exactly what Jefferson Airplane are doing here. That's lead vocalist Grace Slick sat in the middle, dressed in white.
A total of 33 acts performed over the course of the three days, and we'll look at them in detail a little later on in our list. That may seem like a very low number compared to modern standards, but modern festivals tend to have multiple stages, often divided by genre and interest. Woodstock had only two, and one of these was mostly reserved for non-musical performers.
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.
