Tim Curry is one of Hollywood's living legends - he has been around forever and has starred in basically everything. We were honestly pretty surprised to learn that he was the voice of Nigel Thornberry in The Wild Thornberrys. It really was an all-star cast, with Lacey Chabert and Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers also in the mix. Who would have thought you would get all of those high-profile people in one kid's cartoon series?
Our man Tim Curry is no stranger to voice acting - he has probably voiced some of your favorite characters and you don't even know it. He appeared on Darkwing Dark, Peter Pan and the Pirates (for which he won a Daytime Emmy Award for his portrayal of Captain Hook), The Little Mermaid television series, Over the Garden Wall, Captain Planet and the Planeteers (another one! Curry played MAL), Gargoyles, and so much more.
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.
