We apologize in advance for lowering the tone to anyone who doesn't know what a 'breastaurant' is, but it's rather necessary to explain the concept so we can explain the problem! A 'breastaurant' is somewhere where customers can ogle attractive women while they order drinks or food. If this sounds like a tacky and dated idea, you'll be pleased to know that millennials agree with you. Twin Peaks and Hooters are watching their annual sales figures fall off the edge of a cliff.
Changing tastes in what's deemed to be sexually attractive might be behind the drop-off. The website Pornhub has helpfully supplied statistics indicating that people between the ages of 18 and 24 are almost 20% less likely to use a search term involving female breasts on their website than any other age group. To try to lure millennials back, Hooters have recently tried to re-invent their image by introducing more male members of staff, and amending their menu.
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.
