The list of names who were supposed to be in this film, but didn't end up making it, is something of a 'who's who' of Hollywood all on its own. You can add Billy Bob Thornton to that list, too. Thornton was originally slated to appear as Sgt. Mike Horvath; the role that eventually went to Tom Sizemore.
Sizemore's lucky break came from one of Thornton's phobias. When he agreed to play the part, he hadn't realized quite how realistic Spielberg intended the combat scenes to be. Specifically, he hadn't realized that he's be required to walk into the sea off the coast of Omaha Beach. That was a pretty big deal for Thornton; he's aquaphobic, meaning he has a mortal dread of being submerged in water! He was forced to pull out, and Sizemore got a major career opportunity.
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.
