This looks like George Lucas sitting on Santa's lap. "What do you want for Christmas, George?" / "A million dollar franchise." George Lucas got his wish. Star Wars just keeps making money. Hell, I keep spending money on Star Wars stuff. Whether it's new stuff or old stuff, I buy it. It's becoming a real problem. I don't even have anywhere to display all the stuff I have. All the while I just keep making George Lucas richer and richer. You're welcome, George. I expect a Christmas card this year.
At the time, I don't know if George knew Star Wars would be as big as it is now. I think he always believed in it, but when you believe in something you don't necessarily see that thing still being culturally relevant over half a century later.
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.
