The contrast between the wallpaper and Aston Barrett's shirt is so intense that we're surprised anyone could keep looking at it for long enough to take a picture, but we're glad they did, as otherwise we wouldn't have this thoughtful looking image of Bob Marley on tour in Birmingham in 1975. He must have taken a liking to England during the tour, as he moved to London from Jamaica the following year.
Presumably getting some last-minute practice in before the gig with guitarist Barrett - better known as 'Fams' and a trusted member of his 'Wailers' backing group, Bob looks like he's been distracted by something on the other side of the room. Or perhaps he just doesn't want to look at the shirt for fear of hurting his eyes. Also, can we talk about yet another bizarre placement of a sink in a dressing room?
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.
