Of all the public celebrations that crop up over the course of a year, Easter is probably the one that gets the least love. Everybody gets dressed up at Halloween and Christmas. Thanksgiving is all about gathering the family around for a large meal. At Easter, you might eat some chocolate and go to a special church service, but that's about all. That isn't enough for this guy - he wants Easter to be a bigger deal, and he's going to make it happen even if he has to do it all himself.
We can't even count all of the individual pieces of Easter flair he's wearing in this picture, but it's a lot. This is about as extra as extra gets, and we bet he's on first name terms with the Easter bunny. If there was such a thing as an Easter Tree, this is exactly what it would look like. The kid with him looks like he's enjoying the look. Maybe he'll pick up on the idea, and it will spread out across the country from there?
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.
