This guy seems to be having a pretty bad day - just look at his sad, long face. What's even worse is that he probably has no idea of how some creative ad company is using him to make a funny bus advertisement. It's probably better that he doesn't know. The ad in question appears to be about some type of women's body milk - a product you can be sure this guy doesn't want to touch with a ten-foot pole.
Ads like this first appeared over 10 years ago, but they are not as common as they used to be - at least not in developed nations. There are some places in Asia and Eastern Europe that have only recently attempted to do ads like this, so there is some probability that this guy was photographed in one of those places.
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.
