American Girl dolls weren't even cheap when they first hit the shelves back in 1986, so you can imagine how much they might be worth today. The cool thing about these beauties is that they came in a variety of looks and ethnicities, along with stories about their history. They were one of the first range of dolls that seemed to include everyone. No matter what you looked like, there was an American Girl doll for that.
As with almost every toy we've discussed, certain American Girl dolls are worth more than others due to the rarity of them. Molly, Samantha, and Felicity dolls can be sold for $1,200 to $1,500, Kristen will get you even more cash at $3,200. Though Kanani is one of the newer dolls, she still fetches prices as high as $2,500.
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.
