You might already be aware that Pitbull is from Florida. We say that because he takes every opportunity he possibly can to remind us. Florida gets namechecked in every song that Pitbull releases - even if he's only providing guest vocals on someone else's track. If you ever hear a Pitbull song without a Florida reference, it's probably an imposter. Because he's so proud of his roots, it would be wrong of us to give the Florida entry on our list to anybody else. Sorry, Ariana Grande.
Early on in his career, Pitbull's style was much less commercial than it is now. He already had three albums to his name before he finally achieved breakthrough mainstream success in 2009 with 'I Know You Want Me' from his fourth album 'Rebelution.' Life's been sweet for him since then - he recorded the official song for the 2014 FIFA World Cup, which cemented him as a star on the global level, and has now sold more than 60 million albums.
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.
