You can't talk about Halle Berry as Storm without talking about the most controversial line in all of X-Men movie history. Some people love it. Most people hate it. Rumors are that Joss Whedon wrote this specific line. Let me paint the scene for you. Storm is fighting Toad on the Statue of Liberty. He's hanging onto a pole by his tongue. Rogue conjures a storm and says, "Do you know what happens to a toad when it's struck by lighting? The same thing that happens to everything else." Then she zaps him.
The line harkens back to the golden age of action movies when heroes would throw out one-liners at every chance they could get. It's not the best one-liner, but given that it's the only one that Storm says, it fails to impress.
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.
