What do football fans and Saturday Night Live fans have in common? They both love THE BEARS! I'm of course referring to the iconic Saturday Night Live Sketch where a group of Bears fans sit around a table waxing poetic about the bears. These new helmet designs help bring the Bears into the new millenium. The top right design is incredibly interesting how it puts the C logo on the very front of the helmet so that it can include claw scratches. You got to love that kind of thinking outside the box.
The two bottom designs use the other team colors in a really interesting way. The bottom left design includes a little too much of the orange, but the bottom right uses it in just the right, classy way. It is one of those designs that achieves both a futuristic and a classic took.
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.
