As we mentioned briefly earlier, things didn't exactly go smoothly during the filming of 'The Wizard of Oz'. You may have been getting that impression by now anyway. Victor Fleming is believed to have done the bulk of the work, and ultimately got the official credit for the job, but he was only one of four directors who worked on the film at some stage.
Richard Thorpe was the first to step up but had a number of issues with both the cast and the studio and was fired after only two weeks. George Cukor was the next man in the seat, but he was offered the chance to go and work on 'Gone with the Wind' and went to do that instead, presumably in a cooler studio with a less murderous costume department. King Vidor was the last man up, who finished and tidied up the job after Fleming had gone to replace Cukor on 'Gone with the Wind'!
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.
