Twice Upon A Time

Twice Upon A Time

Common sense ought to tell you that making an animated movie is a much lower risk than forking out for a full live-action production. After all, you don't have actors to pay, or expensive locations to book out for overnight filming. All you need to cover is the costs of the animators and the scriptwriters, and you've got yourself a film. Unfortunately, common sense for most people doesn't take into account all the intricacies of making a movie. Look at 'Twice Upon A Time,' for example.

Released in 1983, 'Twice Upon A Time' came from the Ladd Company - the same studio that gave the world' Blade Runner.' 'Twice Upon A Time' was the film that was supposed to save them after a series of poor decisions had left them financially vulnerable, but they gave it such a low budget that they couldn't find a way to pay for much in the way of marketing. Nobody came to see it, because hardly anybody knew it existed. After that failure, the Ladd Company faced up to the inevitable, and folded.

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.
