There are different ways to break the news of something to someone, and this mug, pictured, is one of them. Forget about the text on the front of it, because that's just a diversionary tactic. What's important is the text at the bottom of the mug, which you'll only see once you've finished your drink. We'll give you a clue: it says something that's quite common, but it's not in a place you'd think of.
Guessed it? At the bottom of the mug it says: "You are going to be a daddy". Which, let's be honest, is just about the funniest way to break the news of your pregnancy to your partner, ever. Just imagine peering into the bottom of the cup to find that one day. It's enough to make you throw up your Froot Loops. It's also why we never finish our drinks.
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.
