Remember these old things? They're not exactly going to rake in half a million dollars like the Princess Beanie Baby, but they'll still end up going for a worthy sum. It's definitely worth clearing out the garage to check if you still have one hanging around, is all we're saying. Maybe now the pain of hearing the Lite-Brite jingle over and over in your head will finally pay off.
There are new versions of Lite-Brite available at very reasonable prices on Amazon (around $30), but it's the original one that's going to bring in the big bucks. You can expect to sell the basic unit for around $300. If you have all of the extras and accessories, you could potentially earn up to $1,000. We told you it was worth hunting around in the garage for!
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.
