There are tons of boxes with this packaging, and guess what? It never works. In fact, if it does work, you should be worried, because that's some cheap cardboard you're dealing with. That's the dollar store level of cardboard. The macaroni inside might even be cardboard. I wish they would just say "cut here with scissors" instead, so that we could give up the hope of even trying this maneuver.
If you're a conspiracy theorist, this is just one of the subtle ways that the government makes us all go a little crazier every day. We expel so much energy being mad at the food boxes that we don't have any energy to be mad when ICE loses thousands of immigrant kids. That's right. I went there. That actually happened in 2018. Doesn't that sound like something that should have happened in 1918 instead?
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.
