Critic score: 14/100 - User score: 8.7/10 - This one is proof that critics don't know what they're talking about. 'Kung Pow: Enter the First' is one of the best comedies of all time. It's an important work, not just in comedy, but as a technical achievement. They use clips from old martial arts films, as well as taking the aesthetic as a whole, making it look like it was plucked right out of a different decade.
What critics said: "Does this even count as a movie?" This is where I have to call out critics in a big way. There is no such thing as a way that movies must be. There are traditional ways of storytelling, but not any one way that is right or wrong. What does this critic even mean by this?
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.
