We've spoken about Beanie Babies and Barbies so far, which would stereotypically be seen as girls' toys, but don't worry gentlemen. The toys which you still have hidden away and told everyone else you threw out years ago have hidden values of their own. In fact, the most macho of all boys' toys - Mattel's popular 'He-Man' range - are some of the most valuable of all.
The action figures themselves aren't the most valuable aspect of the toy range; it's the playset which collectors are most interested in. For some reason, many people bought the figures but comparatively through bought the full-sized 'Eternia' playset which gave the figures an environment to play on. Perhaps it was overpriced when it was released, or maybe it just wasn't very good? Either way, it's rare now, and rare is valuable. To be precise, it's $10,000 worth of valuable.
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.
