Here we have a great droid by the name of R2-L2. She's a little different than other droids. You have to feed her human food, and sometimes you might hear human sounds coming from inside of her. In fact, you might begin to think that she's just a human in disguise as a droid. You might even begin to think that her outer shell is nothing more than a garbage can, but you would be wrong.
All kidding aside, Carrie Fisher is doing a great R2-D2 impression here. I hope that's a clean trash can though. The kind of trash can that you just throw scripts in or something like that. Not the kind of trash can that you throw old food inside of. That's no place for a princess. Then again, Carrie Fisher was a different kind of princess.
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.
