Imagine being able to do stuck figures like this without using any amount of glue. Well, that is precisely what the person that made this photo did. In a way, this photo reminds us of the previous one - the one about the Dorito chip. The key to doing figures like this is to able to balance the mass between both sides - which the person that did this aced at.
Pieces like this are called Jenga puzzles and are very popular in Far East Asian countries. The trend has slowly tricked down to the US and Europe, which is why you might be seen more similar photos on social media. It seems to be an awesome way to spend time, and some say it is even used as a way to do some mental practice and improve your cognition.
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.
