Grease is an all-time classic movie about the greaser era of teen culture. It has everything you would want in a movie about boy and girl gangs: singing, dancing, love, and drag racing. It is a Romeo and Juliet-esque tale about two people from different worlds falling in love. Just about everyone has heard the song, “Summer Nights.” That is just one of the many hit songs that musical theater geeks can't help but sing along to.
The movie stars John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John who couldn't have been hotter than in this era of movies. It was later followed up by Grease 2 which is an odd entry in the series. Grease 2 is a sort of commentary on gender roles. It stars Michelle Pfeiffer and isn't as universally loved as the first movie, but it has a huge cult following.
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.
