This is another meme that's all about stereotypes, and it caused considerable upset to the woman who was used as the focus of it when it first appeared online. There's a perception that there's a certain type of conservative woman who likes to stay at home, enjoy the wealth that comes from her husband's work, and then complain about said husband's perceived lack of assistance at home. The meme was known as 'suburban mom,' and you might have seen it with even-less pleasant captions than the one we've used as an example here.
This lady is no suburban mom though - she's author Carly Phillips, who already has a successful career, and plenty of her own money. At first, she said that she was 'furious and hurt' at being used in such a way, but over time she's mellowed to it, and now accepts that it has a funny side when it's not being used too aggressively.
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.
