We've gone with 'Ten Guy' for the name of this meme, even though you might have come across him as 'Really High Guy,' or 'Stoner Stanley.' His happy but slightly vacant expression gives us the impression of somebody who's having a good time, but doesn't really know why.
As the caption to the meme on the left suggests, he's often been used as a visual aid to remind us of all the silly little things we do when we're not thinking about it - for example, turning down the radio in the car in order to help us to read. There's nothing wrong with his face though, and he hasn't been captured in a moment of intoxication; he just happens to look like this, and judging by the photo on the right-hand side, he's this happy all of the time.
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.
