This X-Men movie may not be part of the strongest trilogy of X-Men movies, but it is most definitely a good one. It introduced us to characters who would play X-Men for almost two decades. Isn't that insane? This movie started two decades worth of careers.
This movie has arguably the best line in all of superhero movie history (up for debate, surely, but no doubt near the top). It's when Storm is facing Toad. She tries to blow him away with a gust of wind, but he uses his tongue to latch onto a pole. He's smiling at her (as much as you can smile with your tongue completely out), and she begins to conjure up a lightning storm. That's when she says, "you know what happens to a toad when it's struck by lightning? The same thing that happens to everything else."
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.
