'Hook' is the type of movie that is just trying to mess with your head. One, it takes a classic story and totally flips it upside down, turning Peter Pan into a middle-aged man. Two, Glenn Close plays a guy. There are even more surprises to this movie, but let's start with Glenn.
Look closely at the character of Gutless and you'll see that it's Glenn Close with a beard. The make-up and fake hair look great, but there's no denying those Glenn Close eyes. The 'OC's' Kelly Rowan is also in it playing Peter's mother, but the big surprise comes in the form of a Star Wars connection. A scene on a bridge shows a man and a woman kissing. That man and woman? George Lucas and Carrie Fisher! Who knows, maybe Carrie had the gold bikini on under her clothes and they were acting out George's Jabba the Hut fantasy.
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.
