If a five year old boy puts fake money and a toy gun for safekeeping, "just in case", then what do fully-grown adults do? They go for more firepower, it seems. One man, for example, was surprised to discover a plastic bag with a pillowcase in it, stuffed between his garage and the fence. He was even more surprised when he looked inside the pillowcase.
Inside was a fully-loaded machine gun, along with a cellphone. Even after contacting the police, they were unable to find out exactly whose it was. And no, the owner did not step forward to claim it. Funnily enough, while you'd expect this thing to happen all the time in the States, this actually went down in Calgary, Canada. They have got a dark side, those Canucks.
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.
