From what I can gather, 'Caffeine' is the British attempt at a diner movie. Diner movies are your typical workplace comedy taking place at a diner. One famous example is 'Waiting' starring Deadpool- I mean, Ryan Reynolds. The problem with this British version is that diners are so classically American that we don't want to see a movie about British people working in a diner. That's especially true when you can't even tell whose accent is real and whose is fake.
Katherine Heigl and Mena Suvari are in this movie, along with a host of British actors. Katherine Heigl puts on a British accent, which makes me wonder... is this how British people feel when they watch one of their actors do a bad American accent? Why don't we all just make a pact and just use our real accents from now on.
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.
