There's no polite way of discussing this meme, so we'll just get right into it. Unfortunately, we all know what it's like when we need to 'pass wind,' but we're trapped in a situation where it would be completely inappropriate to do so. That leaves us pulling pained facial expressions while we're trying to prevent the inevitable from happening, and the famous 'trying to hold in a fart guy,' has become the relatable face of those moments.
Plot twist - Michael McGee wasn't trying to hold in a fart at all. He's just capable of making the veins pop out of the side of his head whenever he feels like it, and his school friend thought it would make a great picture for Twitter. Almost immediately, he became the poster guy for something he wasn't even doing at the time. How does he feel about it? Well, he's rolling his eyes in this newer image!
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.
