Back to happier topics, we've all encountered the most interesting man in the world at least once on our internet travels! With his conversational pose, his fine suit, and his trusty beer in front of him, he's about to regale you with a fascinating tale about his life. No matter what he has to say, it's bound to be smug, or condescending. A typical caption for this meme would be something like, 'I don't always study, but when I do, I make sure it's the night before the exam.'
As some of our readers will know, the world's most interesting man is actually the American actor Jonathan Goldsmith, and the image is taken from a beer commercial. After it went viral, it's believed to have increased sales of the beer by upwards of fifteen percent, so we imagine the company behind it were more than pleased. Of all the things he's ever done in his acting career, it'll probably always be the one he's best known for.
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.
