If you've watched even just one episode of Everybody Loves Raymond, you'll instantly recognize Brad Garrett as Ray's TV brother, Robert Barone. If you haven't watched any episodes of Everybody Loves Raymond, maybe you should get to it! Garrett and the rest of the cast are simply brilliant. Anyway, enough about that, we're supposed to be talking about his voice work, not his onscreen roles.
One of the roles that really got Garrett noticed was voicing wrestling legend Hulk Hogan on the animated series Hulk Hogan's Rock 'n' Wrestling. This was all the way back in 1986 and Garrett's career continued to progress steadily from there. He has also lent his voice to characters on Finding Nemo and Garfield. A man of many talents, Garrett is a stand-up comedian, as well as a professional poker player.
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.
