Connecticut: Seth McFarlane

Connecticut: Seth McFarlane

We almost didn't know where to go with Connecticut - there are many famous names who call this state home. We've gone with 'Family Guy' creator Seth McFarlane because he's arguably the brightest Connecticut star of the current era, but we know in doing so we'll have annoyed some fans of Glenn Close and Meg Ryan. To those people, we apologize. If we'd been making this list ten years ago, one of them would definitely have been in!

McFarlane is a multi-talented performer, as gifted in front of the camera as he is writing scripts. He personally voices several of the most famous 'Family Guy' characters (including Brian and Stewie), and pursued similar themes with 'American Dad' and 'The Cleveland Show.' In front of the camera, you can see him flexing his acting muscles in the 'Star Trek' inspired space comedy 'The Orville.'

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.
