Dollars stores have been liars for a minute now. When's the last time you went to the dollar store and items were actually one dollars? 1991? You can get some items for a dollar, but that doesn't count for shit. I can go to the most expensive store in the world and still find something for a dollar. That doesn't make it a dollar store. The thing that makes a dollar store special is that I can get a mop, a bucket, and some floor cleaner for three dollars and twenty four cents. Get away from me with this two dollar nonsense.
I live in an area where every other store is a ninety nine cents store, but I'm talking about the real deal. These are dusty, messed up packaging style dollar stores. You don't know if you're going to buy a blanket or an incurable skin disease.
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.
