Those mid-teenage years can be hard. We haven't properly grown into our bodies yet, we don't know the best way to wear our hair, many of us have braces and spots, and our fashion sense could use some work. Worst of all, there's always someone around to take an official photograph of you during these formative years, and you're stuck with the photo forever. That's a real case of bad luck - and nobody sums it up better than Bad Luck Brian.
We suppose that the only good luck that Kyle Craven has had from his image going viral is that he isn't really called Brian, and so people don't always make the connection when they meet him. He doesn't even know how the picture ended up online; it never made it into his school yearbook. He's taken it in good humor, but prefers to live a quiet life with his wife, and works for his father's construction firm.
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.
