The idea of carpooling is certainly old, but it started to gain widespread appeal with the rise of mobile and high-bandwidth internet. It all began back in 2005 before Uber existed, but people wanted to cut down on their transport expenses. While this is very smart reasoning and all that, some people seem to have taken the thing a bit too literal.
This guy heard the words "carpooling," and basically jumped into his big white SUV and drove into the nearest pool. The result is the above photo. The people that had to witnesses this were probably laughing their asses off. Most certainly the person that did this had to be very drunk or high on something really good, so he must have felt a lot of remorse in the morning.
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.
