I love this type of product because they act as a type of test of character. The proper human response when receiving a flask tie as a gift is to chuckle and make a joke or two about where you're going to use it (church, visiting the inlaws, fancy ball games). Then you put it away somewhere and never speak of it again. That's what it's meant for, because for the love of God, once you're drinking out of a tie, you have a real problem.
I talked about how this is a gift item, but think about the person who buys this for themselves. This is a person who not only drinks so much, but loves deceit enough to wear a flask tie. I just load up a water bottle with vodka like a normal person.
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.
