The Omaha Beach scene is a major point of 'Saving Private Ryan', which is why we've spent a lot of time discussing it in this list. There's one more important detail you should probably know about it though; what you're seeing on screen isn't actually the real Omaha Beach at all! Although the real Omaha Beach still exists, and largely looks the same as it did during the Second World War, the trustees of the Beach have severe restrictions on what can be filmed there, and how that filming can happen. Those restrictions made it impossible for Spielberg to achieve what he wanted to achieve.
Unwilling to be defeated, Spielberg instead went to a remote beach in Ireland, and created an exact replica of Omaha Beach there; just as he'd created a clone French village just outside London. The production crew on this film actually built a whole town and a whole beach, and nobody could tell them apart from the real thing. Incredible!
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.
