'Straight Outta Compton' is the tale of rap legends the NWA, and there was nobody more important to the NWA than Dr. Dre. Dr. Dre would probably have loved to play himself on film, but as he's now too old to play himself as a teenager or a man in his early 20s, someone else was required. Dre knew exactly who he wanted to play himself - Michael B. Jordan.
Jordan was flattered, and would have loved to say yes, but he'd just agreed to deal to appear in 'The Fantastic Four,' which was a box-office disaster. By contrast, 'Straight Outta Compton' featuring Corey Hawkins as Dr. Dre, brought in $160m. The 'Fantastic Four' reboot didn't even manage a third of that amount. Given the choice again, Jordan would probably have made his apologies to the 'Fantastic Four' crew and gone with Dre instead.
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.
