This picture was apparently taken in the middle of an interview in 1970 in Germany, but we're not convinced Pink Floyd's David Gilmour is completely paying attention to the questions. In fact, he has the expression and concentration of someone who's trying to play chess with the items in front of him on the table. Nick Mason seems to be handling the answers, whilst Rick Wright stares intently into middle distance.
Judging by what's laid out in front of them, the Pink Floyd boys either had a strong taste for Coca Cola, or a fondness for something it could be mixed with. We'll direct your attention to the short glasses next to the bottles and leave it to your imagination. The photo would have been taken some time around the release of the album 'Atom Heart Mother'.
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.
