New Yorkers are so used to seeing big, disgusting rats that they probably didn't even blink an eye seeing these to human-sized ones. That's just a byproduct of living in New York. You know that one day you're going to get mugged, and that you might see some human-sized rats. It's the trade off for having such great theater. You just might have to sit next to a rodent while you watch Hamilton.

Obviously these aren't real rats, but those costumes look really good actually. Even if the masks don't fit perfectly to their necks. My main question is why? The two of them seem very relaxed. It's like this is their usual routine. Go out for wine and cheese in their rodent costumes. Whatever makes the relationship work, right? If your partner asks you to dress up as a rat, dress up as a rat.

Did You Know...

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.
