One of the most widely-known, most-famous logos in the world today? Apple. You might even be using a device made by Apple to read this list article right now. We all see the logo regularly - some of us even see it daily - and we all know who it belongs to. There's a really obvious question about it that very few of us ever think to ask, though - why does this famous apple have a bite taken out of it? Why isn't it just a complete apple?
The answer is a play on words which is so subtle and brilliant that we want to stand up and applaud it. The man who designed the logo, Rob Yanov, said he'd spent a week drawing apples and trying to come up with a clever twist on the idea when he took a bite out of one, and was struck by a revelation. The word 'bite' sounds exactly like 'byte,' as in the computing term. Therefore the 'byte' that's missing out of the Apple logo indicates that they work with computers. It's so simple, and yet virtually nobody knows about it!
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.
