5. Hugh Hefner

Of course, when we say 'Hugh Hefner, you already know we're talking about the legendary Playboy Mansion, which was home to Hefner from 1974 right through to his death in 2017. It was actually sold to a businessman called Darren Metropoulos in 2016 for $100m, with an agreement being signed that Hefner could continue to live in it for as long as he wished.

Gaining entry into the mansion during the peak of Hefner's residency, and meeting the bunnies who lived in there, was an ambition of millions of men over the course of the years. If they'd succeeded, they would have found not only a swimming pool (which seems to be the one accessory that all mansions must have), but a full sized internal waterfall! Add to that an aviary and a zoo, along with all the games rooms and bedrooms, you can imagine how much fun has gone in within these walls.

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.
