Amanda was already a fully-grown woman by the 1990s, so we didn't grow up with her in the same way we did with many of the star names on this list, but that doesn't make her role in the decade any less significant. Already known to the cult audience from her appearance in seminal 1985 horror film 'Fright Night', Amanda found her greatest fame playing Marcy in "Married...with children" for a full decade from 1987 all the way through to 1997.
Her TV career never really progressed from there, and aside from the occasional bit-part, she hasn't been seen as an actress very much since. She is, however, an icon of the LGBT community; she came out as a lesbian in 1993 at a time when gay rights had not evolved to the position they've now reached. It was a decision that took bravery and will have inspired many other women who were trapped in her position.
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.
